Twin Cities Marathon is a victory for this Luther College graduate

Posted: Wed, Oct 10, 2012 7:18 PM

2002 Luther College graduate Johanna Olson finished last weekend's Twin Cities Marathon in a time of just over 5 hours.  That wasn't good enough to put her among the top finishers.

But considering she ran and walked, it's a good time.  And considering she's recovering from a recurring brain tumor, it's simply amazing.

Olson ran the race less than 13 months after her third brain surgery.  She had a number of relatives and friends running the race with her.

Olson's story was profiled by the Minneapolis Star Tribune.  You can read their story here.
