We're on a mission to Run Around the World!
Please visit the previous incarnation of our thread here: http://caloriecount.about.com/forums/post/484 66.html.
Our wonderful leader Zarelha started one of the greatest motivators ever here on C-C: a mission to run around the world, one run, one runner at a time! All running mileage is acceptable (no ellipticals or swimming) and anyone is welcome to join at any time!
Some info about us:
We started the run at the Southernmost tip of South America, in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. We will end the run in Capetown, South Africa, at the ocean. The total mileage needed to finish is 23,854 miles.
Start date of the run: August 1, 2007, 12:00 midnight.
Weeks start on Wednesday and end on Tuesday. Runners who have had no movement in a full month were put on Hiatus, however, we want you back! Post more mileage at any time!
Our Tally Team will each take one week to be responsible for tallying up that week's mileage. Post here or PM the RATW user profile if you have any questions or concerns.

Remember, ANYONE is welcome to join, and everyone is welcome back, no matter how long you've been away. Happy running!
I'm refueling with a HUGE lunch and heading out for the rest of the root canal...ugh!
please add 2.3 this morning thank you!!!
3.1 miles for me tonight -- a 5K for the St. Patty's Day Virtual Race. I PRed! Whoo hoo!
Panda, I'm with Jenka -- I work hills into my runs, but I definitely don't have the attitude you do you [yet] that I should run up them faster than flats. I do try to keep the mentality of actually running up them. Nice job!
Minie, good luck with the rest of your root canal! I applaud your running 10.75 miles despite the 2nd half being today.
Alright, alright, if I must settle this who's crazier braver debate, I will. It's quite clearly us turtles on the site that log in weekly miles less than 20 and are amazed by the feats of wrm and ultra. Duh. Nice work, you two. You inspire me to get out and run more. Thank you.
And lastly, for those who didn't sign up but still want to run in the St. Patty's Day Virtual Race, go to http://caloriecount.about.com/forums/post/860 81.html and just put which race you ran and the time. You can run a 5K, 8K or 10K (or 7K if you are jfk) at any point on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Happy Running!
29 for me for last week.
alrighty, finished my st. patty's 8k this morning woohoo! 43 minutes not to shabby!!
Allrighty too, I finished my 7K at 36:31--that's 4.3 miles for the metrically challenged (like me).
Please add 7 miles for me today.
9 miles for me today.
And jfk, the next time I plan on getting injured, you're more than welcome to "look after" my cervelo. I'll fax it to you, no problem ;).
Morning, runners! Did everyone see the footage of the tornado that hit Atlanta on Friday night? I was in the middle of it! Fortunately my house had nothing more than a large branch/small tree on the roof, but there are houses in my immediate vicinity with GIGANTIC trees on them, through their roofs and basically demolishing their houses. There's a lot of devastation. I was truly lucky. Then another storm came through Saturday with rain and golf ball-sized hail! What a bizarre weekend. The gist of it is that I didn't get to do my long run until Sunday, but it was a beautiful day with sun shining, so I got a lovely 13 mile run in and surveyed some storm damage while I was doing it.
Minie, the Tally Team is working on the totals for last week and this week, and will straighten it out asap. Not to worry!
Thanks for letting me know about the tallies...I was just curious. i don't look at that part of the thread too often, so i was confused.
