I plan to fly buy the little furry beast and not look back. 12/12 Marathon may hurt me with taper and recovery but
I WILL BEAT THE BUNNY!
If your on the Bubble step up and commit to out run the rabbit .... 6 weeks left to get errr done.

Just about every time I've set a goal this year, I've fallen short.
So, I'm going to try something different and say, right now, that I'm definitely probably not going to make it. Especially now that I've noticed that I have a cushy 11-mile lead to fritter away.
MTA: Make that had a cushy 11-mile lead.
Speed my steps along your path, according to your will.
Six weeks, 220 miles. That works out to almost 37 a week, 6.9/day. I'll be honest I don't see it happening. If I hadn't been a bonehead and tweaked my knee running too hard too soon after Chicago....
We'll see how its going after Thanksgiving. If I can stay on plan through the holiday I may be close enough that I'll put in the extra effort and nip the bugger right at the line.

Now only 2.5 miles behind the Bunny and should pass him for good on Thursday.
With hoping to get 50 mpw next two weeks should build enough cushion to beat him to the line even with 2 week taper and 2 weeks of recovery to end the year after 12/12 marathon.
Been humping hard after the bunny since July and I finally tracked him down today! Looks like Dunattar and Carl A. stuck with the pack on the blow by.
Good News is I think I broke his will as when I flew by him today on my 18 mile LR, I saw the ears droop and don't think he has much left to fend off thos behind him ... Charge forward!
Excellent - Another lead to squander!
Closing out on November...... Time to run off all the turkey
lets go folks... big push in December.
catch that bunny!
Pace Bunny 1358.2 Mi
All right. Exactly one month. Exactly 148 miles. Place your bets! Place your bets!
Hopefully I won't need to put in a 24 mile long run on 12/31.

There are a bunch of "last chance" New Years' Eve races too!
OK .... 31 days remain and caling the foolowing out to catch the Bunny. 150 - 180 miles are doable.
Me ... Even with Marathon taper and recovery in december I think I am pretty confident I can get the 115 miles
Good Luck
As of today, it looks like I'm 20 miles behind.
I am so nailing this not-going-to-make-it strategy.
