Here's some of the stuff that I won:
- Some cow lotion (Yuck, I thought it was from the rotten milk utters!)
- Red Marathon T-Shirt
- Don't forget my MEDAL
- A candy bar, don't worry I haven't eaten it yet.
- Gum and it is gross, but Kate wanted to eat it and she liked it.
- And some other stuff in a white bag like a poker chip and stuff.
Don't tell anyone, but I was very thirsty and I spilled a drink all over my red shirt. My Dad ran with me and Parker started running with my Mom and Kate because he can't run as fast as me. Poor Parker. Then Parker decided to run with me and we had to make him keep up with us so he wouldn't die. Mom cut across the finish line to take our pictures. Both me a Parker got a medal even though Parker was hiding behind my Dad.
The Marathon was 1.4 miles and I ran the whole way with no resting. My Dad was a very slow poke and had a hard time keeping up with me. Now he is very tired and his muscles are down.
Thank you to all of my fans. Thank you to you and you and you. You've been a wonderful audience.
If you have any questions, here's some more information from Melissa...
It was really cool to be able to run the marathon with Grace. Our whole family ran with her and loved it. It was awesome to see a flood of kids in red shirts running to the finish line followed by their families and friends. It was a huge event that Grace has been working towards for months and we are all very proud of her!
What is KiDSMARATHON? KiDSMARATHON is a 10 week training program (7 weeks for the “Run Three Point One” event) that enables kids to complete a full marathon (42.195 kilometers) by running approximately 5 kilometers per week. By doing so, kids develop the tremendous feeling of accomplishment and confidence without the high risk involved with young kids running a full marathon in one day. The program is completed in grand fashion as each kid is able to finish the final 2.195 kilometers of the marathon distance in front of hundreds of cheering fans, friends and family at the 2007 Las Vegas Marathon on December 1st.

THREE CHEERS FOR GRACIE!! HIP HIP HOORAY! HIP HIP HOORAY! HIP HIP HOORAY! :)
Congratulations sister! I am so proud of you! I know how hard you've been training and I can't wait to see your shiny medal. One of these days you'll have to give me some advice for running, okay? After the snow melts we can go to the high school to run on the track and you can train me!
That is so funny that you thought the cow lotion was made from the rotten milk utters. That made me laugh so hard. I also think that Kate is a nutball for liking gross gum. Maybe all of her taste buds haven't come in yet?
Thank you for letting me be one of your fans!! Can I be the president of your fan club? You're the bestest Gracinator and you are such a great example for us all! LOVE YOU!!!
Hi Butler family. I love your blog. Congratulations on your marathaon Grace. Cole and I have a blog too. It is coleandmichelle@blogspot.com

P.S. Illinois might not be a desert but it is lonely too so keep in touch.
Way to go Gracie!! The girls and I are very proud of you!! Maybe you could come and clean my house with all that ENERGY?! (I'm pooped!!)
You wouldn't believe it, but I ran a marathon once ... I didn't get a cool medal or any prizes though ... just sick!! (I threw up my whole dinner ... yucky!!)
We loved seeing you at Thanksgiving and the girls and anxious to have you come back up to see them.
Say hi to your mom and dad and brother and sister for us ... did we get everyone?!
Love and kisses ~
Brianne and girls
