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!

 

Skinny, what was your time from the 5K this weekend? You could still post to that thread. I'm updating it all tonight and can include you!

Great job, Milestone Runners! Whoo hoo!!!

Jenka, OMG!! Glad to hear you are okay! My goodness, you truly are lucky... and a runner -- way to get that long run in!

Hey, winter is almost over and I'm back on track, training for adventure sports (lots of hillrunning).

 

This weeks total: 13.64mi.

March 12-18

7.25 miles -- I had a great 8K Shamrock race on Saturday.  I have never run with 5000 of my neighbors and friends.  It was quite an experience.

37.46 Miles for me this week.  Thanks!

3 more miles for me today

So, yesterday I went to the gym got onthe treadmill, ran exactly 0.3 miles and could not bring myself to run another step. I guess I needed a day off : )  i had run the three previous days so it really should have been a day off anyway, but the whole root canal thing threw my schedule off so I was trying to get back on track with my regular days.  Anyway I fell so much better today - thank God I didn't push myself and try to keep running.  My legs felt like 1000 pounds bricks.

Another 48.6 miles for me this week. Just wanted to add that today is 2 years since I quit smoking. Hard to believe I've come this far since then. I figure I've ran about 3000 miles since then. I can hardly believe it.

Hi everyone--1 mile for me today. It looks like I may have a mild hamstring strain. I was supposed to do some speedwork today, but I cut my workout short when I noticed sharp pain coming from my lower right hamstring. I'm going to have to take it easy for the next few days before I start running again--not the time for this to be happening, especially with two races coming up soon (an 8K on 3/30 and a 50K on 4/5).

Congrats on your amazing progress over the past two years, aezell1, both in your decision to quit smoking and in your running 3000 miles since then--that's incredibly inspiring!!!

Please add 7.0 miles for me today. Been a week and a half since I've run more than an hour, and I'd forgotten how good it feels afterwards.

Congrats to aezell1 for being off smoking for so long. You've come a long way in 2 years--I bet it's hard to imagine putting that stuff in your lungs again.

Sounds like you need some recovery time, minie...maybe try take a real easy 10:00 pace run on one of your "on" days? And be sure to get all your calories in, too...maybe you're a little gylcogen depleted.

Hope all goes well, wrm2105. I think you're really wise to stop at the first sign of trouble.

Sorry forgot to post last weeks total.  3.1 :( Had an off week for running.  But Im back in the saddle again!!

Please add 10.5 for me today.  I think this week that brings me to 36.25

jfk - it actually hurts my legs MORE when I run slower.  I have to keep it between about an 8.2 and 8.5 min mile or my legs actually get more sore during and after the run.

And I thik I just needed the day of because today's run was awesome.  I had to force myself to stop running.  I felt like I could have gone forever...definitely had runner's high.

2.5 miles for me tonight.

aezell1, way to go!!! That is some very inspiring news!

wrm2105, that stinks! I'm glad you are being responsible about it, but it's gotta be tough with the races so close. Definitely better to hold off and do well in those than to run through it and blow any possibilities. I'll be rootin for you!

 

1 mile for me today too, just tired i think. lifted weights before. glad you are feeling better fitnessfreak!! jenka glad you are fine wow! what a scare

I had 20.46 miles.  I didn't run Monday, Tuesday, or Saturday, but I did accumulate quite a bit of mileage.

Week Ending 3/18 :  8.85 mi.

Morning folks! Thanks for all the good wishes!  There are lots of people around me who lost their houses, so please don't worry about me, it feels wrong when I came out unscathed.

Wow, lots of great miles from everyone!  Minie, don't forget that .3 of a mile you ran the other day.

People who submitted their miles for 12-18 March: thanks! Keep them coming.

I'm back in the groove after about a month of lost motivation. For some reason this week I've discovered new energy, feels great!

I ran 32 miles this past week.

jenka I literally laughed out loud when I read that... you are absolutely correct.  My miles are 36.55 with strenous 0.3 mile run from monday : )

HA!  Strenuous or not, you still did it!  :-)

 

please add another 7.5 miles for me from yesterday. My workouts seem to be a little erratic right now...can't seem to get my groove back after being sick last week.

Oh well - I'm taking it one day at a time. At least yesterday's run didn't feel like complete torture (although doing it on the treadmill was less than fantastic)....
