Because I've been piling on the miles in my buildup for my first marathon, today I finally caught up with and passed the little bunny - sometime during my last long run today. Now I enter my taper, and I will run my first marathon Nov 10. Since I will be recovering for the next month after that, I wonder if I'll be able to hold off the little guy long enough to get to Jan 1 still in front of him.... Confused

Maybe he'll give me just enough incentive to get back out there after the marathon beats me up... But it's fun to be in front of him for now.... Big grin

Congrats, Frowzy! I've passed this bunny's little brothers already - but I doubt I'll pass this one this year. Great job - and good luck and health through your taper and first marathon. You will do awesome.

When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?

Hold on...I worded that poorly. The MRI is for my hamstring/ possible (newly discovered) Sciatica issue. The surgery is for an Inguinal Hernia. My brain needs some fixing too. Sad

Thank you for the well wishes.

He sure can, even at 350 minutes per mile! Maybe it should have been a "pace tortoise"?
