I can promise you will have a great time!!  (and for the single ladies out there..."you-know-who" is bringing along a friend or two) Anyways, everyone is invited to join in single,married, it is all for a good cause and will be a blast!!...I promise.......it's a fun time! www.caprievents.com think about it......and if you can't join in, it's ok.....there will be many more opportunities for these events in the future...especially now that I am HOOKED on them. take care!

Hi Paula! I hope you have a good time! Stay bundled up! As I continue this weight loss journey I would LOVE to become active in stuff like this... Maybe next year I can join you! Jenn

Hi Jenn,  You are definitely gonna have to join in when you feel up to it...it would be awesome! I started out in Sept at the Walk from Obesity...that's where I met a few of the lovely folks on this board....then I just kept on signing up and walking in other events in/around the Chicagoland area. I think this one will be a bit of a challenge..they actually just emailed me that they are making it a 5K instead of 8K due to the inclement weather and some sort of construction work being done. I am only committing to one more of these events til Spring.  It is the New Years Day 5K..again, along Chicago's lakefront.  But then I'm going to join up in some yoga and/or pilates classes. I kinda feel like I need to keep going so I don't return to being a couch potato. So....I will post on the board when those other events start coming in the springtime. take care!! Paula

Thanks Paula for letting us know about the walk/run.  Sounds like a blast.  I wish I could join you, maybe next time.  Hey, do you travel with cute guys all the time?  I need to hang with you more often Stay warm and send pics of you and your head dress!!! Take care my friend, Kathy

Paula you have just too much energy!   Did you know it's cold this time of the month?   You sure are a trooper!    Hit me up in the spring!!!!   Got to be in my comfort zone!    LOL Pam

Pam, I don't know about having too much energy....believe me, when I work the night before one of these things and finish at 6am....then have to be there at 9am for the walk....are you kidding??!?!  I am determined to do them, and I usually feel more awake when I'm finished. I will definitely be hitting you up in the Spring for some of these events.  When the weather gets to be nicer, we will be planning on some after-event activities too! I've been expanding my circle of friends, and it is really amazing....I'm getting so much more out of life now...and I am a much happier person for it. It took a while for things to click into place...but I am a HAPPY GIRL these days! BTW, we do these events just for fun...there's no competition about it...some of my friends run them, others (like me) walk and stop and take pictures with cute boys, etc.  It's a great way to meet people! hugs!! Paula

Ok Paula......I'll be ready for ALL the events in the spring!  I am so glad things are finding it's place for you!  I'm sure it helps with the weight loss too!  You know.....being HAPPY! Hugs

Hi Kathy, Of course I travel with cute guys all the time!!! They follow me wherever I go....LOL!!! I will definitely post pics of the Jingle Bell walk I did last Sunday as well as this one. For the Jingle Bell, I had a reindeer and penguin on my hat..and the dog had jingle bells on his collar (I had them on my shoes).  I was definitely lookin stylish! Here is me (holding the dog) at the turkey trot on thanksgiving day.... http://www.fotojack.com/photo/?race=998&cat=Turkey%20Hats&se l=8&sid=d1a5f004188fc29cd30460a910c5d834
