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

Remember, ANYONE is welcome to join, and everyone is welcome back, no matter how long you've been away. Happy running!

 

18 miles for me today.  At mile 14, it was tough.  At mile 16, it was really, really tough.  At mile 17, I rejoiced because I only had one more mile to go and worked to get it done!  This is my longest long run to date.  Goal is to complete a 20 mile run two weeks from today.  Gives me two weeks to decide on my route.  With today's run, I should have no problem hitting my July challenge goal of 100 miles - woohoo!

1.5 easy little miles today as I start to get back into this.... it's good to be back!!!!!

Hi, 21.2 miles today.

Glad to have you back, hecticred.

And again, kscout, congrats on another distance PR!

Hi again, 8 miles to round out my training week (they run Monday-Sunday, as opposed to the RATW weeks).

July Challenge miles: 256.9 (23.1 miles to go)

Hello, please add 10 miles for me for this weekend.

Are we going to do anything special for the one-year anniversary of when we started this group?  Whay do you all think about doing a little extra on August 1 (the anniv date)?  Maybe we can each set a goal to make our run that day a little farther, faster, or hillier??

another 10 miles for me off 3 runs since I last checked in

Morning, everyone!  And a happy Monday to you. 

Hecticred: welcome back!

Kscout: congrats on your distance PR!  I've never run that far, myself.  You are impressive!

Joyfulake: that's a GREAT idea!  What should be do?

The good news is, my knee feels fine.  Over the weekend I took a short 3 mile run and my knee had zero pain.  Yay!

Are those of us who are doing a July Challenge on track to complete it?  How 'bout a status update?

Hi everyone--10 miles today.

2 hot and humid miles.  Planning on a 3 mile run for August 1 - happy anniversary! (Great idea!)

28.5 miles for me this last week.

This morning's run was cold, dark and VERY wet.  I got literally pissed on about 2/3 of the way through the run, I was so wet my shoes were sloshing, my rain jacket (which I grabbed as an afterthought) was wet through, my legs were frozen because they were so wet (couldn't feel anything though because they were so wet!)  And my hands still haven't recovered, I am having a hard time typing they are so cold!  The best part was because it was dark I couldn't always see the puddles and sloshed right into them I can't count how many times!  Ahh... 40 degree runs in the rain, not my idea of a good time, BUT I did resist the urge to cut it short.. and then regretted it when it started raining even harder!  Time for a WARM shower!

Around 3 miles sunday.

When I say around 3 miles. I was staying with a friend and just went running around her neighbourhood before breakfast going left or right depending on which road name I liked best so I don't really know how far it was but it took nearly 30 mins so can't be less than 3.

Anyone else going to do something special for our 1-year anniversary?  I'm not sure what I want to do yet.  I could go that extra mile, heh.  Any ideas?

Ran 5 miles yesterday.

5.1 miles yesterday.

15.25 miles for the week of 7/23 - 7/29.  My body told me to skip one of my planned runs.

Hi everyone--14 miles today. And with today's run, I have made my July Challenge Goal (currently at 280.9).

please add 4.5 this morning for me! 3.65 left yeah! i would like to do something for our anniversary too, maybe we can all run an extra 2 or something a 10k?????

30 miles for me this week

46 miles for this week. A little less than normal, but I'm traveling on business. :)

Hi, I have some miles to report from this week: 8.08 - sum of today and yesterday.
