101031 My husband, John, and I [Dot (Fedoryshyn) Strand] went to Greece last October with daughter-in-law Yvette and son Bill Strand, and son Eric Strand.  

John, I, and Eric went to run the October 31, 2010 marathon commemorating the 2500 year anniversary of the original marathon.  Yvette and Bill ran the 10K.  The marathon began in the city of Marathon and finished in the Olympic stadium in Athens.  I  placed 6th in my age group, John placed 11th.  It was a clear, sunny, warm race day and we had a wonderful race.   This was my 46th marathon and I am thinking it will have to be a very special race for me to run another 26.2 miles!  This was John’s 117th marathon. He has also run a marathon in all the six continents and  received a special medal in Greece to acknowledge that accomplishment.
