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

Hi, all! I'm back from DC. I was super disappointed when I got to my hotel, opened my bag to get out my running clothes, and realized I had forgotten my running shorts! GAH! Anything except sneakers or running shorts, and I could still have run, but unfortunately it was not to be. So that means I had to take 2 whole days off in a row this week. The worst part is you really need that run after you're stuck on a plane and then meetings all day. Oh well.

Yeah, the Tally Team is a little stumped at what to do about where in the world we are right now. If anyone has a good idea we'd love to hear it!

Something must be in the air, because I ran a 10K race TOO this weekend! My time was, umm, not the slowest I've ever done, but nowhere near the fastest either. I finished in 57 minutes which is a full minute slower than my PR. But my only defense is that I've been incredibly lazy since the half marathon. Does laziness count as a good reason? Heh.

Skinny_kitty, excellent work on the half marathon! Don't worry about your time, the first one is all about just finishing! Which you did!

36.75 Miles for me this week.  Thank you!!

43.1 miles for this week.

i'm looking to buy new running shoes, any suggestions?

and i won't be adding any mileage for this week, got hit with a field hockey ball on my ankle bone at my tourney this weekend.....ouch!  no running for me unfortunately. have another tourney this weekend so i won't be running much til next week....

thanks for any suggestions anyone has!

I was out of town for the National Guard, training in Ohio.  I did find another runner at my school and we got a lot of running in.  I'll have to give you my total for the month so far b/c I didn't have a wireless connection when I was out of town and couldn't update by the week.

 

From April 2nd through April 21st TOTAL 57 miles

23.6 miles for me this week. 

Also set a PR of 27:57 for a 5k trail race! :)

I participated on an orienteering race, mostly up and down the same very steep sandy hills... It was extremely fun:P

Total ~5.19 miles/1:03:41

yesterday = 3.75 miles

Please add 7.0 miles for me today, which should make my weekly total 17.1 miles.

minie13 and jenka: Well, if we were all about an minute slow, there must have been some sort of time warp on Sunday---it's the only rational explanation

Congrats on the PR melxcloud!

skinny_kitty: I've already got the red/white outfit to go perfectly with the P2C (see my before/after in the gallery).  It's not how well you ride, of course--it's how good you look!

I've decided to dramatically expand my goals for the year, now that a vacation snafu has displaced my Olympic distance triathlon in July.  So today I signed up for a half ironman in August, so I will have a half mary this year after all!  Hoo yah!

Hi--12.1 miles today.

jfk, you are gonna look SO AWESOME!!  It is such an incredible bike.  I feel like I'm not doing it justice at all at this point in the season. 

You're going to be quite the eye candy at the races!

WTG on the half-ironman!  Yeehaa!  Which one are you going to do?  My first one is coming up in 44 days (Mooseman).  I guess I'll be letting you know all of the details afterwards.  (The only thing that I steadfastly refuse to do is WALK.  If it takes me 3x the time with little steps, I don't care.  I will always RUN my half marys!)

I don't seem to have been added to the list yet, maybe my post from last week was missed?  Anyway, my total mileage since April 2 is 58.5 miles.  Can you add me please?  Thanks!

12 miles for last week... (which is what wrm2105 does in one day )

wrm2105 you're awesome!

please add another 5 miles for me from today.

Just can't seem to get any significant mileage since my surgery a couple of weeks ago. Maybe it's just psychological, but I can't seem to get past the 5 or 6 mile mark before I'm completely exhausted.

Hoping to register for another 1/2 marathon in July to keep me on track. We'll see....

skinny_kitty: I'm doing the 5430 Long Course Triathlon.

I totally agree--I will run like a baby rather than walk!

4.8 miles for me yesterday.  It is so good to be able to get outside and run!!

8.2 for me today

I think that makes it 39.7 for the week

please add 2 miles for me.  I wish i could run like some of you!

6.75 for me this week.

Tempe had their inagural earth day 5k last night was so cool you had to beat mother nature and you got an extra prize, the mayor and his wife even ran, so please add 3.1 for me, thank you
