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

7.5 miles for me from last week

Mark me down for 5.5 mi last week.

This week will be ramping up the miles and get >10 mi.

Hi everyone--11 miles for me today, including four 5 minute speed intervals at goal 5K race pace.

Hellooo, RATW group!  Nursing a knee / hip flexor injury (I wiped out on the stairs) and can't run but I do look forward to getting back to running soon -- like, by the weekend (*crossing fingers*).  Unfortunately, I may not be able to make any promises by signing up for the virtual race.  Oh well, maybe next time, sucks to be me.

pandajenn:  YAY!!  Congrats on your first mary! That's amazing!  You made it past the dreaded "wall"...that evil, dreaded wall...*shiver*

skinny_kitty, I was wondering what had happened to you! Glad to hear you may be running again soon, but do be careful!

5.3 miles for me tonight -- tempo run. Antibiotics for the ear infection are already helping. WHOO HOO.

Thank you for the welcome.  I'm glad I found this thread.  I do alot of running and log all my runs on marathonguide.com.  So, since I log my runs I might as well put it somewhere usefull. 

I'll post my mileage every Tuesday.

 

 

Bat_2721, our weeks go from Wed-Tuesday, so if you normally run on Tuesday, add your weeks' mileage afterwards, or Wed morning, whichever is more convenient. We're so glad you joined us!

Skinny_kitty, ooh, heal fast! Sorry to hear about your wipe out.

Primadonna, glad to hear the ear infection is healing!

Supposed to be 75 and sunny today in Da South. I'm wearing a dress! Whee!

Good Morning, 1 mile for me today.

Original Post by wrm2105:

ultrarunner2: How is your recovery from the LA Marathon going, and how do you plan to transition to your next race?

Hey!

Thanks for asking. No recovery for me. I ran it so slow that I never got any pain or issues whatsoever. In fact, a week later I ran the Way Too Cool 50K very slow again so no pain on that one either.

I run slow because next weekend I have a 100 mile race coming up. After that one you can ask how my recovery is coming along. I might be in too much pain to reply LOL

Hi everyone--10.7 miles today.

Ultrarunner2--More power to you, that's all I can say. You're a braver man than I am, following up a marathon with a 50K en route to a 100 miler, all within such a short time span.

Another 5 miles from Tuesday, taking the rest of the week easy so I can be fully recharged for my first 8k race on Sunday!

wrm2105: braver than you? I don't think so. My wife definitely does not think so LMAO.

Anyhow, check out your daily mileages. They are off the hook! I wish I could put in such daily mileages. It's very impressive!

Hey guys -  I just wanted to stop in and say hi.  I took yesterday off as a rest day and then ended up having to get a root canal today so I couldn't do anything again today : (  I feel lazy, but figured that running (or exercising) while on pain killers was probably a bad idea.  I'm hoping to get back out there tomorrow morning to get a good run in before the rest of my root canal at 1:45 (I have to get more work done).  Luckily, I was due for an easy week after 4 weeks of continuous increase.

Good Luck to everyone thats racing this weekend!

I don't know, ultrarunner2--I'm not the one who will be running the 100 miler. Running for 24 hours (I'm guessing that how long most races this distance require) beats training to run a flat 50K in just over 4 hours (my goal for this upcoming race). You, my friend, are the winner in this battle of endurance runners.

please add another 5.0 miles for me today. thank you!!!

Please add 4.2 miles for me today... a nice tempo run. Hopefully I can start stretching out my tempo distances in preparation for my Memorial Day 10K.

Good luck with the root canal minie. I think you're very wise to take a recovery week here. Gotta skip the long run this week myself to do the "Running of the Green" 7K on Sunday (and legendary post-run party!)

Good to hear from you again skinny_kitty. If you need someone to look after your cervelo during your recovery, just let me know :-)

And ultrarunner2 and wrm2105, I can't say which of you is crazier braver, but both of you amaze all the rest of us!

 

Hello! Please add 3 for me for last night. I ran outside on the beach, it was so beautiful!

Co sign!  :)  Of course, it takes a special kind of crazy to be called crazy by another runner.  :)

I am so excited, I did my first ever serious hill workout last night and I'm not the least bit sore today!  (Everywhere I run is hilly, and I always try to run up hills faster than I run flats.  But this was the first time I specifically incorporated repeats on a hill.)

2 miles in a very hilly neighborhood, then 5 sets of up and down a .2 mile hill with a 70 foot elevation change.  (I don't know how that compares, but it was a very steep hill, the kind I avoid when I'm on my bike and in heavy traffic.)  Then 3 more miles in a hilly neighborhood to finish for 7 miles total.  My pace when charging up the hill repeats was a full minute per mile faster than my average pace on the run, and I definitely burned some calories!  :)

Dudes. I think the rest of us all agree that both Wrm2105 and ultrarunner are crazy AND brave. Also impressive. I can run every day, but I certainly can't pound out the mileage you both do.

Minie, AHHH, root canal! That sucks! In two shifts, too! Hope it went okay. You have been increasing the mileage lately, so you're definitely due for an easy week.

Bake7829: good luck on your first 8K! Ahh, I remember my first 8K. I finished in 48 minutes, and I was really pleased with that time! Rock it, friend!

Energygirl, man, running on the beach must be so hard awesome. I ran through my neighborhood last night and everyone was out on the patios of restaurants eating and drinking and laughing. It was really pleasant. Afterwards, I took myself out for dinner since my husband is out of town!

Pandajenn, kick ass! I never do hill work like that, mostly I just try to get up 'em as best I can. Excellent job!

Keep the miles coming, Heather, I've got them!

Got another 12 mile run scheduled tomorrow morning.  Last week's run was so darn bad, I need a do-over.  Fortunately it's not supposed to snow this weekend, so just having nice weather will improve it dramatically.  I hope!  Have a great weekend, everyone! 

3.45 miles more for me
