...who feels like it's a constant challenge to stay ahead of that damned Bunny, already? He's haunting my dreams. Every time I get ahead he slowly gains on me and passes me. Damn you, Old Man Winter...I will not let you work in kahootz with that Bunny! You will not kick my ass this year! Angry

I'm going to run every day that the weather allows--and then some! *shakes fist*

It's not just you (I'm the one who modified the front page Tongue

) I extended my run yesterday by about 2 miles just to try and get ahead. There is something about that slow steady movement. Maybe we should change the name to the pace tortoise? She never gets shin splints, her IT bands are feeling great, immune to colds and flu, its never raining or snowing in pace bunnyland, ....

I ran a mile and I liked it, liked it, liked it.

Yes it is. Nice job.

Passion is a rather frightening thing because if you have passion you don't know where it will take you.

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

Oh, and I sucked it up and ran over 3.5 to get 3 miles between me and the bunny. It hurt, though. I had an awesome 11.66 miler yesterday...today I paid for that great run. At least it was "warm" out (at least for Jan. in MI). k

Well, I passed it today with my first long ("longish" at 9 miles) run in a while. I did not unfortunately leave enough room for tomorrow's day off! But, with next Marathon in May, I am ready to kick rodent fuzz...badly!

I was ahead a couple of days back after a 15k trail run but my calves are telling me to take at least another day before getting back on the hunt Black eye

I may have to be more realistic about this year's distance...I'm gonna give it a full month though - maybe I can HTFU..would be a shame to bail from this group of folks.. Cry

I can't even see the damn thing. Maybe I shouldn't have waited until January 7th to start chasing the little bastard. Tongue

When you're on your deathbed, you won't be wishing that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will be wishing that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

No you aren't. I am already looking at the back end again- getting off to a slow start this year. Hopefully I will decide what I am going to be running soon and put together a plan.
