Before I married my husband, Argyrios Papathanasopoulos, 10 years ago, he told me that one of his greatest passion is to travel. I was delighted to find a common interest in us. However, he did not tell me in great detail that he is an ultramarathon runner, and that he would usually include a race in his travel itinerary. I have to admit that I knew very little about running and ultramarathons before I met him. All that changed when I started supporting him at his races. Not only did I find myself enjoying everything from helping him with preparation of gears to the excitement of the race itself, I also begin to look forward to making new friends with people we meet at these races.
