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!
Howdy folks!
Trinzaka, that sounds crazy! I've heard of orienteering before but was never quite sure what it was. It sounds really hard. Good job!
Kscount, good job on your first 1/2 marathon! Just finishing is a triumph, you must feel so great!
Minie, eh, there'll be other races, there always are. However, I will say that you might be a little hard on yourself, you run so much that you should have no problem with a 10 mile race. Taking a few days off won't affect that. All that said, though, definitely listen to your body.
Primadonna, "dh" means "dear husband." Similarly, "dd" means "dear daughter," and so on. That's just a little Calorie Count shorthand. "Went on a fantastic run with dh but he kicked my ass time-wise."
And thus ends the lesson for the day. Please add 30 miles for me from this past week, 23-29 April. Thanks!
1.5 mi for me last week. I was out of town on business, in a hotel in a not-so-nice part of town, no gym, so no miles until yesterday.
I've found a running store that's only a 30 min or so drive from me, I'm heading off now to talk to someone about shoes. All my aches and problems cleared up the minute I switched from the Mizuno Wave Riders back to my Nikes Impax, so I think I can definitely say "a great shoe - not a great shoe for me."
I just posted in the wrong forum...Is there anyway to make the other RATW forum inactive?
I forgot to post yesterday for my last week. 36.75 Miles please.
Thanks!
Thanks!
primadonna: "dh" is one of the few Internet abbreviations I'm familiar with and it means "darling husband" or "darned husband" depending on my mood ;)
jfk: We want pics! We want pics! Did you manage to get the red/white frame to go with your duds? Let me know what you think of the Keos; I've been thinking about getting some Speedplay zeros, but the Keos are really popular, too (and light). Have you thought about shoes? The Shimano carbon tri shoes strike my fancy as do the Garneaus. Can I ask how expensive the wheels were? I'm looking at renting some Zipp 404's for my big race in September, but if I can get some *sexy* ones before then at a decent price, I might just go for it (all in an effort to further sexify my bike, of course...)
Oh! "Cervelle" means "mind". "Vélo" means bicycle. Combine the two and it suggests "intelligent bicycle" or "bike with brains."
And yes, primadonna, his bike definitely f-ing rocks!!!
Tatjana, there's no way we can lock the other RATW thread, unfortunately. Zarelha could do it the next time she logs in, but we can't because she's the original poster. It's the same reason why we couldn't just continue on with the original thread, we had no way to alter the original post. If any of us on the tally team see the other thread pop up with a recent reply, though, we always PM the person who replied to get them to come to this thread. It's not perfect, but we try.
Skinny, what'd you do for your birthday?
THis week so far:
