Time to Streak!

Hey! It would seem that I've been seriously neglecting my blog lately. I do apologize. I promise I'll get better at this!

I can't believe it's the middle of November already! Like, whaaaaat? Good news is that the weather here in beautiful Minnesota has been ridiculously fantastic. I decided back on the 3rd to try for a November running streak. Since then I've been able to wear shorts on almost all my runs. Shorts! In Minnesota! In November!

Speaking of the end of the year, it's hard to believe that I only have one more race on the schedule, a 10K on Thanksgiving Day. 2016 was a good race year for me, with the possible exception of the marathon in October. After much thought, I've decided to work on getting stronger next year, and return to the marathon in 2018. Here's what's been booked so far for 2017:

Polar Dash Yeti Challenege - New Year's Day (5K, 10K and 1600M)
Valentine's Day 5K
Hot Dash 10 mile - March
Great Grandma's Challenege - June (5K and half marathon)
Red, White & Boom Half Marathon - July 4
Twin Cities 10 Mile - October

There will probably be a few more 5 and 10K's sprinkled throughout the year, but those are the main ones.

That's all for now, folks!
