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

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!

 

How do I get added to the list?  I joined during Zarrelha's absence.  I posted my totals in the old thread.

EDIT: Well, I opened the spreadsheet and I'm there.  Just not in the original post, so its fine.

Welcome to the new RATW thread! Just to make it very clear, we LOVE Zarelha, and we miss her and want her back. When she comes back, she will find that we have taken very good care of RATW, and kept it updated for her! Zarelha, if you are reading this, we're just keeping up what YOU started!

In other news, Wiliwigi has updated everyone's mileage as of 12 Feb 2008. Thanks to him for all of his work! Therefore I have updated everyone's totals, and just to make counting easier, I took out the Last Week and This Week totals. If you want to see that detail, just click on the link for the spreadsheet. It's a runner's log heaven.

A note: if there wasn't any movement on a runner's mileage, I moved that runner to the hiatus list. Please don't let that deter you from contributing! Use it as an impetus to get out there and hit the pavement, because we really want your miles! And we welcome everyone!

Wrm2105 has graciously offered to be the first weekly mileage counter. So post all your miles, either daily or weekly, for the current week of 13-18 Feb 2008 and he will post as soon as he finishes.

Run like the wind!

Minie13, sorry!  I will add you asap!

If I forgot anyone else, please let me know! 

Oh and by the way - a big, huge THANKS!  to everyone who took care of handling this.

Are the weeks still running (ha ha...no pun intended!) from Wednesday to Tuesday?

 Never mind...I apparently don't read everything....thanks for all who are taking care of this!  It's been my motivation to start running back in November...and it's my motivation for me to keep running (with my all new record high being yesterday - don't log this- at 8.2 miles).  I'll give my weekly totals every Tuesday night like I normally do.

~Tatjana 

Add another 6.0 miles for me today

Congrats skinny_kitty on the 5K PR and to heatherlanders on the 10K 5th place finish!  And a big thanks to williwigi  for bringing the totals up to date, and especially to jenka for coordinating the new thread.

This is great, you guys!  I'm pretty lousy at catching up on previous posts as well, but did you mention whether or not it'd be better to post miles once a week or as you go?

What's easiest?

And thanks jfk61!  BTW, have you started your bike bricks yet?

Hey skinny_kitty, feel free to report mileage in whatever way is most convenient. The way we're looking at it, it's business as usual--nothing has changed with RATW except that instead of one person keeping track of everything, there will be a team of people sharing the work.

It makes me appreciate all the work that Zarelha has done.

Hey Everyone - Happy Presiden't Day!! Please add 3 miles for me from Saturday, and 3.5 for me today. I ran outside today and it was amazingly warm, and amazingly windy-definately felt like I worked really hard!

Thank you, thank you everyone who has worked to get this new thread up and running.

skinny_kitty: No I haven't.  Still kinda tough to do during the week, and it's short course swimming season, so I'm in the pool or at meets a lot over the weekend.  And is that a cervelo P2C with dura-ace components in your gallery?  That is *exactly* the bike I have been drooling over since October.

Rain this weekend shut down my planned "long run"  Only 5.5 miles for last week.

Ran a 5K over the weekend, not super fast but the course was beautiful. I'm a member of the local track club and they do free, no-tshirt races a few times a year. Since it was so low-key I expected just a couple dozen people from the club, but there were somewhere between 200-300 runners! Very good run. I finished in 28 minutes and something. Far from my PR, but I've been having trouble with my knee when running on pavement. Up until the middle of the 2nd mile I was running 9:05 m/m, then my knee acted up. Boo!

Congrats to skinnykitty and heatherlanders on your excellent race finishes!

Please add 33.87 Miles for me this past week.

Thank you! 

Hello again and thanks to those who stepped in to get us moving!  This thread has been a huge motivator for me to maintain my running (such as it is).  I think my last mileage post was at the end of January so I'll catch up here:

1/30-2/5: 2.5 (ugh!)
2/6-2/12: 4
and I'm not running today so this week comes in at 6.2

Good to be back!

Thanks for keeping this going! 

6 miles :)

O posted thisin the old thread too but I figured I'd post it here to make sure it gets counted.  $ miles for me this weekend!

Wow - thanks to all of you for getting this set up (and going through tons and tons of past posts to update our totals)!

Please add 8 miles for me from yesterday.

Hi everyone, 5 miles today.

Hi again. As of this point, I have updated everyone's miles submitted so far. Feel free to check the RATW spreadsheet if you'd like, and don't hesitate to leave me a note if I have made a mistake somewhere. I will wait until sometime Wednesday to update the mileage totals listed at the top of the thread, so until then, they will reflect totals as of Feburary 12.

Hecticred--I made sure to enter the total for weeks ending 2/5 and 2/12, in addition to the current week, so you should be all caught up in terms of miles completed.

Happy running!!

I had missed the new thread. 43.4 miles for this week.
