Happy Monday, Fancy Oatmeal readers!  I hope you had a wonderful Sunday; plenty of rest and rejuvenation before the work week begins anew.

Dan and I went to our first MSU Alumni Association gathering for North Florida.  The Spartans took on our #1 rival, the lack of leadership on the court & horrific officials Michigan Wolverines.  It was a great excuse to meet up with some new faces and get more involved in the city.  We met at the Blackfinn restaurant, which was a wonderful hosting site.

Everyone we met was super nice, and it was great having the camaraderie in our love of Michigan State, and abhorrence for anything that tacky maize and blue.

Even though we didn’t win, the game was amazing to watch right up until the last second.  Thankfully I had something to console my wounded ego.

Let me show you that platter of SOUTHERN NACHOS again:

Nachosbarbeque pulled pork, corn tortilla chips, chipotle queso, jalapenos, tomatoes, sour cream, guacamole

Thankfully, Dan and I split them, and I only indulged in about 1/3 of the plate, but that was enough to send me right to my planner to schedule out my fitness plan for the week:

The 2012 Holiday Running Streak

I read my good blogging friend Shannon’s blog yesterday and BAM!  Inspired!  The Runner’s World website is hosting its annual holiday running streak challenge where it calls upon runners everywhere to stand up and run against the calorie-dense time of the year.

Stay fit and motivated during the busy (and calorie-filled) holiday season by pledging to run at least one mile every day, Thanksgiving through New Year’s.

 Now as I look at my running record according to Nikeplus.com, I missed the very vital first day, Thanksgiving, but ran/hiked over 6 miles the day before.  In a world of gray areas and smudgings, I’d say that I could get away with starting my streak one day late.

 

I already know that there will be a day in which I won’t be able to keep the streak alive: the day in which Dan and I will be driving straight through to Michigan for the holiday break.  So, two smudgings.

But as the streak stands, I’m at four days and twenty miles.
