How do I run say a nightmare with login, then start a loop and then pick up where I left off?

I'm just writing to ask if there is a simple way I can accomplish this.

I want to know if I can run a part of a nightmare, then stop and do whatever I like...say start a for loop, and then within that loop start up some more of the nightmare where the nightmare left off. As in, still logged in that is. Then I'd run a little more chunk of nightmare code, and then upon the next iteration begin some more nightmare code....all on the same login.

I'll try and write some psuedo-code to help explain it.

Nightmare = req (nightmare)

var myArray = [.., .., .., ..];
var newArray = [];
var myNM = new Nightmare

//Initial login with my nightmare.
myNM.goto('yahoo.com')
.type('#login', login)
.type('#pass', pass)
.click('#submit')
.run();

//Stop and begin a for loop.
for (i = 0; i < myArray.length; i++) {
    //Immediately invoke the previous nightmare and start some more code right where it had left off..
    myNM.wait()
    .type('#field1', myArray[i])
    .click('#checkBtn')
    .wait()
    //Give back some data...add it to the newArray for later.
    .evaluate(func() {
        newArray.push(document.querySelector('#result'));
        return document.querySelector('#result');
    }, func(res) { console.log(res); })
    .run()
}

//Print out the contents of the newArray we just built.
console.dir(newArray);

I actually figured it out on my own, and I am quite proud if I do say so myself.

Please note that I took no actual elements or selectors from Google's site...it's all sort of just made up, but you should get the idea.

So basically all I did here was eliminate the run()'s until the very end after everything. I invoked the myScrape nightmare by name within the for loop on the first nightmare command, and then continued as normal again....then ending that line/command with the semi-colon at the end of the trail, then run() at the end afterward.

var Nightmare = require('nightmare');

var myScrape = new Nightmare()
    .goto('http://google.com/account')
        .type('#login-id', "joeschmoe.somebody.fancy@gmail.com")
        .type('#login-password', "P@ssw0rd")
        .click('#sign-in')
        .wait();

//Start a loop.
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    myScrape.goto('http://google.com/mail')
    .wait()
    .screenshot("./screens/google"+i+".jpg");
}
myScrape.run();
