This year’s Houston Chevron Marathon was a family affair to remember as Grampee proudly completed his third Houston Half Marathon. These last 3 years were consecutive behind 27 consecutive full marathons. This means for the last consecutive 30 years, Grampee has competed in either the full or half marathon! The event, held on a crisp January morning in the low 30 degrees, brought together all types of runners and supporters, but for us, it was all about cheering on our favorite runner. The grandkids made the day extra special, not only by being there to see Grampee cross the finish line but also by showering him with cheers and encouragement along the way. Their excitement was contagious as they waved, cheered and even snagged a variety of fun freebies from the vendors. Watching them beam with pride as they celebrated their grandfather's accomplishment was heartwarming. The day before the big race, we gathered at Adriatic Cafe for a delicious pre-race meal, fueling up on hearty Italian favorites and soaking in the anticipation of the next morning. Grampee’s dedication to training and his determination to finish strong was a true inspiration for everyone at the table. Crossing the finish line after months of preparation and hard work, Grampee showed us all the power of perseverance and commitment. Congratulations to Grampee on another incredible milestone—your family is so proud of you as always!
