Story 15: Athens Marathon Part 2

This is Part 2 - Welcome back to the “After” story of the Athens Marathon. 

Like anything, we go into a journey with some level of knowledge and expectation on what it will be like Make sure you listen to Part 1 to hear some great pre race advice and expectations from our local expert (run Athens 7 times!!) Daphne before you listen to Part 2! 

In this episode, the “runners” come together a couple of days after the marathon to reflect on the experience. If you are wanting to hear all about Athens Marathon, but also how it teaches some life lessons and cancer lessons then fire this one up.

All I can say is - Yes,  it was definitely the hardest marathon I have run for multiple reasons (my knee, the timing, the course) but it was also one of the most memorable. Put it on your “to do list”!
