After I acheive physical perfection,I want to dawn an identical recreation of ancient greek armor (Shield and all) and run the mile of Marathon Beach to see what it was like. How difficult was it, or was this at all possible.
For those of you who don’t know Greek history:
In the time of the Greek and Persian wars… about 400 BC, the Battle Of Marathon was a turning point in the first Persian and Greek war. Marathon was a beach, the armies were a mile a part. The whole greek offensive about 1500 men, ran this mile of beach, and defeated the Persians which was about 6500 men.
Now these Greek Men were wearing at least 100 pounds of armor and weapons, and ran a mile, and WON.

I swear I saw a thing on the Discovery channel that proved that it could be done. If I remember right it was some old out of shape historian guy who ran it.
The greeks were prob tough but I really think it was the roman professional soldiers who I would want to train with if I had the chance. I really wonder weather what we do now (US Army) is tougher than how they used to train.

No kidding? I need to see this show then. So he ran the Beach, did he have energy afterword? The battle
was hours long. Either way though, I want to try it for myself.
I’ve researched a little bit of the older training methods. Some of it quite similar to what our military does, and some of it is strangely outlandish. Of course there is more emphasis on hand to hand and weapon combat, but there is also emphasis on the mental aspect of training and combat. Quite interesting.
Traveling to Europe,… not much to it folks, nobody is anything more anywhere else.
Being published as a writer, same as. Built up in the head and that’s all.
WANT TO DO:
Perform and sing for a decent size crowd who know me, but not too big. Just those that I want to hear me.
That’s it. That’s all I want. Besides the real things, like the fact I want my son to live a good and happy life. I don’t care if I ever sing a note again if he has this.
Some more dones:
Not a hippie or antying but, Sat in the middle of a clearing in the Redwood Forest in Calfiornia and listened to nature. One awesome experience.
Went Tobaganing (spelling) In switzerland last year absolutely shit faced. It was the only way down the hill from the lodge. Bah.
Some more wants:
I want to travel to Izrael and follow in the steps of Jesus.
I want to participate in a Bodybuilding competition… someday
