The Halibloggers had a successful run and I completely forgot to try to get us all in a video at the end.  Sorry! :-(  But I do have lots of pics to share with you to make up for it 😉

Pre-game in our “traditional pose” (see here and you’ll know what I mean!)

There was a Gingerbread Man! (We could not figure out how that girl got her hair to go like that and STAY that way while she ran! lol

How appropriate was my hat?! 😀

Thanks again Laura!  That hat kept me WARM before and after the run!

What a great day ladies!  It was fun doing something so positive and motivational with all of you beautiful people!

Oh yeah and it was a great way to get my feet wet for a big running season ahead!  In case you haven’t heard us gush and squeel about this on Twitter, I might as well tell yas that I have decided to REALLY step out of my comfort zone and run the Half Marathon in the Bluenose this coming May!!!  AHHHHHH!!!!!  I am freaking the HELL OUT!  Not only am I running it, but so is Lynn and get ready for this, it looks like Amy is flying out to do it with us for a very special run 😉

Did I say I’m freaking out?!?!?!

How wonderfully poetic is it for the three of us to run a half marathon together, each of us having lost at least a 100 lbs, supporting each other every step on the way right here in the blogosphere for nearly THREE years! 

Details to come, but I can tell ya that I signed up for the Running Room Half Marathon Clinic starting up in January:
