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


Quote  |  Reply

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

6.2 for me today (I ran in a 10K)

3.1 miles for me today (did a 5K). Came in 14 seconds slower than January (grumble, grumble)...so let's start lining up the excuses! It was windy! I rode up a mountain yesterday! My buddy's Garmin said it was 3.3 miles!

skinny_kitty: Just imagine, if you make a habit of running your age on your birthday, by the time you're 100, you'll be up there with ultra_runner2! Sadly, I've got a swim meet on my birthday (oh, darn!), but I'll be pulling for you on yours. BTW--I'm ordering my cervelo on Friday! Woo hoo!

2 more miles for amy!
also great job wrm2105!!

I can't even run one mile at that pace!!
jfk61- I was disappointed with my finish time as well (56:12) and I also am blaming the wind and the fact that I (stupidly) ran 5.5 miles yesterday instead of taking the day off to prepare for today's race.  I really was hoping to finish at a pace under a 9 min/mile but literally finished with almost exactly that pace.  Oh well.

aeetheri- LOL!  I too am so impressed wrm2105's pace.  That is sprinting for me.  BUt hey, I'm only 5'3" so my legs are alot shorter - I'm sure that's the only reason why (wink, wink) ; )

Wednesday (4-16): 5.25 miles

Thursday (4-17): 1.5 miles (crappy hotel fitness room - treadmill HURT my feet)

Sunday (4-20): 9 miles (yay!)

I'm catching up on the posts. Thanks!

Relaxing 2.93 miles before tommorrow's long run (that will happen. I hope).

3.1 for me for monday!
Well, I finally did it.  I ran a half marathon yesterday.  My legs are killing me and I hate having to deal with stairs, but that's life.  The race went well, especially if you consider that I upped my speed considerably on the last 5k -- I just HAD to pass all of those butts I'd been staring at for over an hour!  Nonetheless, I'm still not happy with my time and don't feel up to sharing it.

jfk:  Oh, how convenient for you to be swimming on your b-day!   Listen, you go ahead and do it next year and I'll catch up to you.  And we should start a CC Cervélo club...won't we be just too sexy for the tri...
Hi--16.5 miles today.

It has been brought to my attention that some posted miles were missed in the tabulation for the week of 4/9 - 4/15.  I am sorry for missing the miles.  I have made corrections and added miles for aeetheri, drop-it-like-its-hot, fitdan, jes516, primadonna98, spacedreamer01, trinzaka, and wrm2105. 

skinny_kitty: Congratulations on your Half Marathon.  Whatever your time was it sounds like you finished strong.  WTG

RATW mods - Do you guys know where in the world we are?    

minie13: Your question from last week has not been ignored.  I have been looking for some kind of mapping program that can track our progress.  Unfortunatly all of the "free" online tools have been overwhelmed by the mileage.  If anyone has any suggestions for a maping program your input would be welcome. 

RATW (wiliwigi)

Good Morning, 1 mile for me today.

A last minute 3.25 miles for me this morning (my total for the week should be 19 miles). Thanks!

14 miles for me last week

14 miles for me last week
