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.

33.61 Miles for me this week.  That includes a personal record run of 11.5 miles...I could have gone further and wish I did.  My first race is coming up this weekend.  I'm not planning on winning, or even coming in close...just a 6K so I figured I'd run 3.5 to 4 miles beforehand, and then run the race and see how I do.

Hope everyone's having a good week!

 

Hi, 6.3 miles today. Depending on weather this evening, I may get in a few more miles, but we'll see.

5.25 miles for yesterday.

48.5 miles this week. :)

Please add 4 miles for me from today.

Knee seems to be fine.....took it really easy for the remainder of last week - elliptical trainer mostly, and a couple of shorter runs. Also did some lunges and squats (no additional weight like I normally do, just body weight for resistance). That seems to have helped - even managed to do a long-ish run on Saturday....

3.5 miles for today -- 21.6 miles for the week.  Working on increasing my base mileage during the week, then will start increasing long run on the weekends.  Seems to be working out well.

Hi, another 4.2 miles for me this evening.

been out of town for work, so jogging up and down in bedroom is the most I could do - call it 2.5 miles last week.

the challenges you all have set up are a bit intimidating - this old lady is just chugging along a little at a time!  I get home on June 10, I'd like to put in 25 miles before the end of the month.

3.55 tonight making my weekly total 14.45 (I think). Thanks!

matty_h, I think your goal sounds great!!! Don't get intimidated; the beauty of running is that it's easy to take it at your own pace. Good luck in meeting your own personal challenge this month!

please add 5 miles this morning please! jfk my normal 5k time is 26.25 during the sprint tri's it takes me a good half mile for my toes to wake up after the bike, so oh yeah my time is much longer 10-12 minutes more.

Hola, runners! Whew, it's gettin' HOT down here! Last night I went home after work to run outside, and it was almost 90 F. That was a little warmer than I'd like.

Primadonna, I haven't heard from Minie13, not sure where she is. Could be that life has gotten in the way.

Tatjanaturtle, good job on the distance PR and good luck on your first race! Hmm, it might be a better idea to run the race, and then afterwards round it off with another 3-4 miles. You'll be fresher and race faster. Just a thought.

Kscout, oh, you've signed up and paid the money, now you have no excuses! We're all rooting for ya!

Matty_h, ditto what primadonna said, the best part about running is it's at your own level and pace! And by the way, we ALL started somewhere.

All right, please add 22 miles for me from the week of 28 May - 3 June. Thanks!

Yay for personal challenges! Okay, here's what we got:

Jfk61: 50 miles

Primadonna: 30 miles, PR in a 5K

Jenka: 100 miles

Wrm2105: 200 miles

Kscout: 80 miles (20 miles per week)

Heatherlanders: 41 miles

Williwigi: 60 miles (15 miles per week)

Matty_h: 25 miles

Anyone else?

Ran about 3 miles last week, but I was moving.

Week Ending 6/2:  13 miles

Jenka,

Put me down for 60 miles.

RK1

After a short break: 2.17 miles

okay, so I haven't run in a while because I live in AZ and it has been so hot outside!! But I caved and bought a treadmill today! I'm so excited!!

So yeah 2.5 miles for me. :)

i would like to join the challenge.... lets say 40 miles. gotta start running!!

5.5 miles for me yesterday.

Okay, I am a new runner and everyday I feel like I am breaking new ground.  This morning I had my best run ever.  It was a PR pace and time, but more important I am beginning to see the effects of conditioning.  Longer more efficient runs.  Additionally, I finished with gas in the tank and would have added another mile if time had permitted.  I started running because I had to do something about my health, I have found now that it is something that I like to do.  Thanks to everyone for the inspiration.

Please add 3.5 for yesterday and 4.0 for today.
