Fourteen and Grace is seen....running the half-marathon.

Did you read that right?   Did whiny Grace ACTUALLY run a half marathon? Why yes, yes she did.  That's almost as unbelievable as Kassy being awake at 5:45, but it's true!  We promise!



Grace ran her first ever half- marathon in 3:01:58 with her wonderful Aunt Terry who came all the way down from Sherman, TX for the Austin Livestrong Marathon.  Grace has really bad arthritis and can barely walk.  She actually could barely walk around mile 9 - but she made it all the way to 13.1 miles and finished strong, running across the finish line (more like limp running, but we'll ignore that fact because none of you actually saw it happen so we can pretend she was sprinting across the finish line like a mad woman).


Evidential proof that Grace finished:

Also, because Grace just ran 13.1 miles, she bought the absolute best thing on Earth:

That's right people...thin mints.  See 'em and weep!

Also, Grace learned a very important thing from this marathon.  You know how she's been feeling faint for so many classes?  After eating a ton of carbohydrates the night before the marathon, she realized that she almost never eats carbs.  Eureka!  You need carbs if you're gonna be doing a lot of exercise.  So bread and pasta, you are Grace's new best friend.  Being awesome and not feeling faint in Bikram, here Grace comes.

Grace was totally gonna be amazing and both run a  half marathon AND go to yoga today, but then her arthritis kicked in and she was limping all over and she thought it might be a good idea to take a little rest.  She made best friend with an ice pack instead.  And then hung out in a hot tub for awhile.

Kassy drove home from Laredo last night super late after Grace had gone to bed (*cough* Grace is a wimp and fell asleep at 9 pm *cough*)  but because Grace had just ran the half marathon bought her THE BEST MEXICAN FAST FOOD EVER as a congratulations.  Grace could have kissed her.  

Yoga people on Monday - be prepared to see a limping Grace and a lot of making-up-to-do Kassy!
