One Week Down, 13 More Weeks to Go

#AllanNation in the Grand Tetons - 2017

Ran a mile today. 

Yup, the minimum needed to keep the streak alive.  Also, today signifies the end of the first week of our 100-day challenge. I'll say this. Hoping not to jinx things here, but this seems doable.

Unquestionably there will be challenges in the coming weeks.  Providing things go as planned, Day 100 is March 20.  DA has already indicated that he is invoking #AllanNation EARC Secret Run Streak "special dispensation claus 10.9a" in which said participant requests a pause in his or her streak due to "surgery, illness, natural weather disaster and /or marriage/divorce proceedings." Based on the information provided by said participant, he qualifies for the special dispensation.

Things could get a little tricky when our men's hockey team travels to Alaska for four games in January and we'll be up there for ten days, so will have to figure out how the travel days in which we fly will work.  There's also a trip to Alabama Huntsville in early Frebuary, but we should be o.k.

In any event, all systems go and hoping to mix in some longer runs along the way.  I registered for the Scheels Spring Half, which is here in Mankato on April 8. So the running we're doing now dovetails nicely with that trek.

Lastly, this piece entitled What a 100-Day Run Streak Has Done for Me.  Gonna start concentrating on breathing through my nose. “Your mouth is for eating, your nose is for breathing.”

Ha ha. #KeepGrinding #AllanNation #We'reMetis
