Read along: Hi, I’m Liz Waid bringing you Spotlight’s word of the day. Today’s word is MARATHON. This word comes from today’s program, RACING TOWARDS RESPECT. The word MARATHON is a NOUN. It means “a running race that is about 26 miles or 42 kilometers, long.” Here’s MARATHON in a sentence from today’s program: “I remember saying to my mother that I was going to do the London Marathon one day.” Join us tomorrow for another Spotlight word of the day!
