i am one with the force, the force is with me

the girls and i braved the rain last night to head down to anaheim and pick up our bibs for this weekend's star wars half marathon races.  the bean is doing the kids race with mini cee and mini DG, and got to test out her costume on superhero day at school this week.

so she was pretty stoked to pose next to this picture on our way to the expo:

she decided to make a sign to hold up during the race. hopefully her sister decides to get up in time so that they can head out onto the street in time to watch me pass by. 

here's this year's official race shirt:

and i can't wait till i get to see this on sunday.

please send happy thoughts and lots of luck my way around - oh, i'd say 8:00 sunday morning. that's when i'm hoping to be somewhere in that rough ass 13th mile, preferably not hobbling or crawling. 

god help me.
