T-2 days!

Happy Friday everyone! It's officially here: the weekend of the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon. Wooohoooo!! I am so ready to run! This year a lot of the events were sold out (Full marathon, half marathon, and relay). This year marked the 15 year anniversary of the bomb attack on the Alfred P. Murrah Building.

I wasn't here but my heart goes out to the Oklahomans and those who were lost. We will run our hearts out to remember them!

We all went downtown today to pick up our race packets and our t-shirts. Our race tanks turned out awesome! The founders of the Go Mitch Go Foundation paid to have our tanks screen printed with their logo. We will be running in style and in honor of Mitch!
As Janna, Lindsay and I were headed out of the expo we were offered to have our picture taken and printed for free, so we thought, what the heck?
I'm holding our Go Mitch Go tank, by the way...

Also, while at the expo I saw this shirt:

Pretty cute huh? I thought so..
I'll definitely post some pics of our team after we win! :) The weather is supposed to be great. I think Carmen has every degree memorized by hour, along with every wind speed. I'm hoping for at least 60 degrees by my race time (9:30ish) and no wind. If there HAS to be a wind, I'm hoping for a North wind to push me! :)
Here's a pic of our winning team last year:

Wish us luck! Oh, and be sure to track us with your iPhone app called Memorial Marathon. Our bib # is R 428. Thanks!

Tomorrow Janna and I are going downtown to go on a photography excursion. She's husband-less and kid-less this weekend so we are going to enjoy ourselves and snap away until our hearts are content! The awesomeFestival of the Arts is going on this week so we will be able to stop by and hopefully take some great pictures of the artists and their work. It works out perfect that we're going the day before the race so we have no choice but to NOT eat all the yummy food down there! Darn! I'll be sure to post some pictures from our excursion!

Have a grrrreat weekend! I'll be back sometime Sunday to post race results and pictures!

ta ta for now. ;)
