Mission: Run Around the World--MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!

Quote  |  Reply

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.

For detailed mileage, please visit our spreadsheet: http://www.editgrid.com/user/new_cc_worldrunn er/Runners_Log

Please add 8.0 miles for me today. (Edit:  That should be 26.5 for the week)

Sounds like an awesome run, trinzaka. How cool to have a trail through a forest! Out here, that would involve being in the mountains. Lots of folks do it, but it's not for me.

Happy Birthday, primadonna! I think you should run a mile for each year of your age.

Add another 3.1 miles for me from last night. thanks!

45.1 miles for this week.
Hey guys!  10.5 for me yesterday.

46.35 for me for the week.
Please add 9.1 miles for me from the week of the 9th - 15th.

I used last week as a break week from the race.  I had been training for a few months and I just wanted to have a week off.  This week I am going to run again and get back in shape.  I was proud of myself.  I came in to the top 26% of contestants.  I was 193.  I was 14th in my age class.  I was 151 out of 350 some guys.  I felt great.

Week Ending 4/15:

Total miles:  11.25

Have 5K Sat and then off to Maui for 10 days in a week!  Will be running on the beaches getting ready for 10K next month.

Hi, all! Whew, this week (and last) have been so busy at work! Love those deadlines.

Happy birthday, Primadonna!

It's been cold here and consequently told on my running. It's not so much fun to run outside in 40 degree weather, especially when last week it was 75! So the treadmill has done it for me, although more and more I prefer to run outside.

Please add 27.3 miles for me from the week of 9-15 April. Thanks!

Hey -- can I play catch-up? I fell off the thread-wagon when we switched over.

Only 15.25 miles for me this week.  Business trip sidelined my run yesterday. 

Hi, 11 miles today.

Week 9-15 total 11.41 miles.

Shaved 34 seconds off my fastest mile this week!!!

 

Week 9-15 -- 18.6 miles. 
please add 3.5 miles for me today.

Thanks!
2.65 miles for me today.  Ten days out from my race.  Hearing about everyone else's races is getting me even more excited about mine.  One of the fun parts of the race will be running around the infield at Churchill Downs.  The race is one week before the Kentucky Derby.  Things get a little crazy around here at Derby time! 
8 miles today for me.

only 1.0 mile for me this week. 

I'm convinced it's the shoes, the Mizuno's are out.   I took several days off, until I could move comfortably again, then stuck to walking for a couple days, put in two half miles on Sunday and Monday in my old Nike's, and I'm nearly  fine.  I tested some of the new nikes yesterday, I've been running down the reviews on the triax 11, which felt wonderful to me, and I think I'm going back for them.  Thanks to all of you for suggesting this might be the problem.

I'm going to be away from computer connections for a week - have a great week, one and all!

The updates are in!! It has been a great running week.  Congratulations to all those setting personal records and hitting milestones.
