The epic tale will have to wait till tomorrow, then, and for now...be sated with pictures!
Since my granddaddy and Lisa's papa are both hanging out in heaven right now getting to know each other and becoming best friends, I decided to run for them :)
It's almost time for the 2 mile walk to the start line and we're freaking out!
Meg ran for Granddaddy :)
Lookin' sassy and ready to go with her number
Attempting to look sassy.
We wouldn't really be able to get a proper starting line picture, so we took a picture by the Port-a-Potty. It's funnier.
Finished! And SWEATY!
I'M HUNGRY.
MEGAN'S THIRSTY. (And wishing that was a Bloody Mary)
This was my reward for crossing the finish line. YUM.
They looked like the Rocky stairs, so we took a picture!
Joe used to work there (well, another location) and they were not nice to him. Megan's a loyal wife, what can I say!
Megan loved the Hokie colored snapdragons.
On what turned out to be a FOUR MILE WALK back to our hotel room, we encountered some interesting characters...
Red curry fried duck. Words can't express how glorious this restaurant and their food was. (It's called Basil, if you're ever craving the best Thai food in Charleston or in America)
Next door was their sister restaurant, Chai Lounge, where it was time to switch from red wine to white (or a beer for Meg) and from entrees to dessert
Creme Brulee, to be exact. GUH.
Sunday morning soothe-my-insanely-aching-muscles breakfast: Shrimp & Grits with Blue Crab Gravy, veggies, and sausage. Oh, and two poached eggs. It's like the shrimp & grits they served us the morning of Megan's wedding, but deluxe!
And as we were leaving the gorgeous gorgeous city, tons of church bells were ringing and the sun was right behind this beautiful steeple giving it an amazing light quality, so Megan took a picture of it from my sunroof. Well done!

Annie!! CONGRATS! I am glad you had a lovely weekend with your sister also. Girl, I am SO sore! I could not run the entire last mile..I wanted to collapse...so good for you for gunning it to the end! I think we did pretty well considering this is new for us. I can't wait to read your blog update. Was it hot? I think we lucked out a bit b/c the slight rain was more refreshing - it wasn't until the end it was bothersome. But my face was so hot. I kept pouring water on it. Anyways....I am glad we kept in touch during our training/race! Ahh...I do not want to go to work tomorrow.....
so annie...after running 10K, you ruin yourself by devouring all that wonderfully healthy food? hahaha. it's good to reward yourself.
great job, little bro. :)
