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!

 

9.25 for me from yesterday.

I'm going out to buy new sneakers in a few minutes.  I think mine have seen their last mile.

Can't wait to go running later with my new ones!

Jenka - good luck with your race this weekend. 

Log 2 miles for me today.  This is nice having a taper week in the middle of my half marathon training.  I'm using it to rest a little and psych myself up for the last four weeks of training. 

9.25 for me again today.  My new sneakers made it fell like I was running on a cloud.  It was awesome!

Can you count my miles? There were only 2 but I am very proud of them. :  ) I am just getting back into running. Thanks!

Wlecome sharonclaire! Everyone's miles count here no matter how big or small.  This thread is a great way to stay motivated and get tips from more seasoned runners.  Keep posting your miles.  You can post daily or weekly.  Our weeks run from wednesday to tuesday. 

Happy Running!

may i join?! Last year i couldn't even run 1 minute without stopping. I'm now up to 10 minutes without stopping and i want to continue to get better. Running is going to become a part of my regular routine!

Hi everyone--I have been taking it easy since Thursday, resting up for my 8K tomorrow morning. I'm trying to make sure I'm well rested so that I can shoot for a new PR in this distance.

Hello, jfk61, lebrowne--great to hear from you both, and thanks for reporting your miles.

Nice job on your distance PR, trinzaka.

How's the speed work coming, kscout? And yes, the cutback weeks in the middle of training are nice (although I'm guilty of not taking advantage of them all of the time).

Yes, primadonna98, I definitely want to watch Run, Fatboy, Run. It may not be as inspirational or moving as Spirit of the Marathon, but I'm definitely up for watching any movie that is running-related.

Good luck on your half marathon, jenka. Looking forward to hearing how it goes.

Hi minie13, your mileage lately has been awesome. I also love getting new shoes--I'm ready for another pair myself.

Welcome sharonclaire and sunshine_rjs!! We are all glad to have you here with us.

Have a great weekend!!!

please add 5 for me this morning!

hi, i just found this thread.  it's awesome!! can i join?

do i tell you each day that i run or wait until the week is over and add them up?  thanks!!!

and if it is by day, then today i ran 5.6 :)

7 miles for me today--my highest so far!! 

Hi jes516--welcome! You can choose which option you prefer. There are plenty of us who report either daily, or weekly ( our weeks run from Wed-Tues). It's up to you. I have you down for the 5.6 you ran today, but don't let that force you to feel like you have to report daily or after every run. The important thing is that you report them to us, regardless of frequency.

Hi lebrowne--great job on your distance PR. WOOHOO!!

RATW:  How come everyone else's mileage got added to their totals, but I am still at 394?  The online spreadsheet is right, but the totals on the top of the blog are less for me.  Everyone else looks updated. I should be around 414?

Ran my 2nd official 5K today .... Goal was 26 min (1st 5k 3/2/08 was 27:35) .... Ran it in 25:32.

Went out too fast as 1st mile was uphill (about 4 - 5 % grade) and wanted to run strong but ran 8:00 (wanted about 8:35-45).  2nd mile was relatively flat and slowed down a bit 8:35 mile hitting 2 miles at 16:35 .... Thank god for that 4-5% downhill grade the last mile as know could not hit mi 3 in 8:07 (24:24)  if not for gravity!  Finish was in a college stadium so mustered up a sprint (well as much of sprint I could manage)

All in All very pleased

Next race in 3 weeks on a flat course so we are looking for < 25 minutes.

Yesterday: 3.17mi

Today: 3.17mi + 1.55mi

okay...I'm your modest 1 mile a day person...so, give me one mile! :  )

please add 2 for me today.

10.15 for me today.

Great job rk1! You rock!

I would love to join, too.

Miles ran this week: 11.

I want to join.  I lost a  bunch of weight, but I have gained almost all of it back. I was running every morning, but I stopped with the time change, because being tired was the excuse I needed to give up.

I will hop back on the treadmill wagon tomorrow morning and log some miles for Mission: Run Around the World. I am hoping this mission will be the motivation for my mission to lose 40 lbs!

Sorry about that bignate!  Yours came in after I'd updated the OP, and I'd forgotten to go back and true it up.  All taken care of now.
