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!

 

Mileage for the week of March 19-March 25 is 27.2 total miles.

Joining! 

So far add 1.5 for me! 

Mileage for the 19th - 25th was 19.1. 

With spring cleaning I got a little distracted from my normal routine, but I think that sometimes it it good to have a little bit of a break.

Happy Wednesday all!

Ultrarunner, wow! Excellent job! I will be interested to hear your recap once you write it out.

Melxcloud and mishellie: welcome! We're glad to have you!

Kraka: welcome back! So glad you are getting back into your routine. Life gets in the way of all of us, the important thing is to recognize that and not let it hold you back. Good job!

So it's taper week for me in preparation for the ING half marathon on Sunday. My mileage this past week, 19-25 March, was 25 miles.

After many years of ambling around playing casual sports and being somewhat energetic but not really all that fit, this challenge inspired me to run - first time since college, to tell the truth, and that was many years ago.  Given the arthritis, one bad achilles and generally poor lung capacity, I'm happy to say I ran 1/2 mile four times last week, adding up to:

2 miles for the week of 3/19-3/25. 

Please add 3 miles for me today.

Miles for week ending 3/25 :   10.5 miles

Hey guys, please move me over to the hiatus list.  :(  I'm definitely still running, but I don't think I will be on CC much now and I don't believe I will be posting my totals.  If that changes I'll definitely come back, but I think the list should only be for active CCers and I'm afraid I won't qualify anymore.

Best of luck with finishing the last 45% of the 'race'!  You guys are awesome, and I have really enjoyed being part of this experience.  :)  Here's wishing you PRs when you most want them, sometimes when you least expect them; mostly sunny skies with the right amount of cloud cover and a gentle breeze; friends to run with in person, online friends to share running stories; money enough for a good pair of running shoes at all times; and most of all, here's wishing you constant joy in running, even when it sometimes hurts.

Happy running,
Jenn

Hi everyone--8.8 miles today, including 3 X 1 mile speed intervals. This is my final speed workout before my upcoming races. Hoping to break 34 minutes in Sunday's 8K race (probably a bit ambitious). We'll see how race day adrenaline, road conditions, and a crowded field (30,000 entrants) affects my chances of reaching this goal.

Welcome mishellie and matty_h! Congrats milestone runners!!!! Good luck to all racing this weekend!

5.0 miles tonight in a 78 degree hotel fitness room! whoo hoo!

 

Hot damn, those milestones are awesome!  Y'all totally rock!

Welcome, matty_h!  Excellent work on getting out there and just doing it.  Sounds like you have some obstacles to overcome, so kudos for working at it! 

Primadonna, love those hotel "fitness" rooms.  I've been in some that were so old and grungy, there was no using them at all.  Total scam sometimes.  You managed it quite well, though, I see!  Heh.

Hi--12 miles for me today.

Wow, great job on the miles this week! 

Please add 7.0 miles for me today.

This week so far, both times on the treadmill (real winter arrived finally when the spring should have started):

 

yesterday 4.47mi

today 8.7mi - my personal record. I'm totally exhausted right now.

2 miles for me for yesterday.  Working on speed on my short run days. 

5 miles today

3.25 miles tonight -- same fitness room. Jenka, I too have been in some "fitness rooms..." but this one isn't *too* bad.

On a different note -- who is excited to see the movie Run, Fatboy, Run???

Whee, it's Friday, peoples! So glad the weekend is here. Last night I did my last run before the half marathon on Sunday, although I'll do the elliptical tonight and then rest tomorrow. Should be a good race. Have a great weekend everyone!
