The Ultimate Saturday Review: YOU in 2011!!! Happy New Year, Friends!

[ 17 ] 12/31/2011 |

Oh, it’s the very last day of 2011. I can’t believe it’s here!

We all wonder what is on the horizon for us in 2012. When we look back next year, what will have happened? I ask myself before the start of every year.

But all I can say to you today is that we know what happened in 2011. It may not have all been pretty (in fact I know that it has been a tough year for many) but there were also some pretty darn good moments out there. Last week we asked you to send in some of your favorite pics and you did! (Thank you!)

HERE is YOUR look back on 2011 at The Sisterhood.

Join us in 2012, will ya? It’s going to be even better!

If you didn’t get a chance to send in a picture or video, link up your favorite pictures and/or race reports or year-end posts in the linky tool below! Or leave us a comment telling us about your best moment or PR in 2011!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU, FROM THE SISTERHOOD! May 2012 be filled with goal-reaching, motivation and clarity.

2012 HERE WE COME!

And if you’re wondering who’s in the photos, here they are, in order of pictures. (Thank you everyone!)

Thank you!! I hope to blog about it all in the next day or two.. for each race, I took a pic of me /w my race number and spiffy new race shirt. That’s a lotta shirts lol. 2012, look out!!

    Awesome video!!! Although I didn’t participate in the video I did participate in my first Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in October, the total walk over the two day period is 39.3 miles. Although I wasn’t able to complete the whole walk, I did PR my usual 3-4 mile walk with 12 miles EACH day!!! I was super excited about that, and I even signed up that weekend to do it all over again this October. I plan to kick ass this year and walk across the finish line with 39.3 miles under my feet!
