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!

 

2 miles yesterday. 1 today.

skinny: thanks for the advice and the link. I am trying to make time to get over to the local running shop this weekend.  BTW the link is great.  Have a great weekend.

Hi, 14.5 miles today.

another 1 mile for yesterday.

6 miles of long intervals.

(This was after a 4 hour bike ride.  BTW, if anyone ever thinks it'd be a nice idea to go to Jay Peak in Vermont to do some cycling, DON'T BOTHER!  The roads are so bloody horrible that you have to slow to a snail's pace on the down-hills and ride in the middle of the road on the up-hills.  NUTS!  I am SO ANNOYED!)

Hi everyone--

Don't forget that the Memorial Day Virtual Race is coming up soon!! If you already haven't done so, there's still time to sign up!

skinny_kitty: I think over a certain elevation, mountain roads are always horrible.  I gotta send you some pictures from Mt. Evans out here.  Wildlife makes their homes in the potholes. (*psst* check out my avatar!)

My apologies for not posting lately. 

May 5 - 26.2 miles (yeah!)

Today - 3.1 miles (Fat Ass 5K in my hometown)

I'm not on the list, can I still be added? I've logged 13 miles for the week so far (May 5-10); my long run is scheduled tomorrow.

 

So.. another rogain done - this time 18.64 miles on foot, running and walking alternately, depending on the ground: thick forest/asphalt/grass/etc. Ooh, I'm falling deeper and deeper in love with orienteering :)

1 mile yesterday.

i want to join! i've just gotten back in the hang of jogging around the neighborhood lately!

2 miles today.

1 mile today

Hi, can I join please....and maybe backdate a week or so to where I decided to start training seriously for a marathon in april?

If weeks are wed-tues then:
Wed 30/4-tue 6/5 = 15.95 miles
Wed 7/5-tue 13/5 = 9.25 miles

Edited to add a mile-got to the gym early so did an unplanned mile on the treadmill today.

Hey guys...7.5 miles for me. 

So...I get to up mileage to 2.5 miles this week...too bad I'm already doing that.  Whoops.  Guess my ortho guy wouldn't be too thrilled, eh?  So I guess since I've already been a naughty recovery patient I'll up to 3 miles on Wednesday.  Then I think I'll really try to stay on track for only increasing .5 miles every other week...it truly would suck to fracture again!!  Egads! 

23 miles total for me last week... this included my first race on Mother's day (woo hoo good way to celebrate my second MD, although the race was a short one, only 4k, but still fun nonetheless).  Plus, I managed to increase my long run to 8 miles this week without too much difficulty. 

2 miles today.

please add 3.25 for me, hope everyone is good

1.5 miles

I did 4 miles yesterday (part of a wierd brick:  bike - run - bike - run.  Hurt like heck).

jfk:  The outfit is now complete.  Your red pedals are so very cool.  I am, however, condemned to dual side entry pedals:  I came close to wiping out with the Shimano pedals when I couldn't get my foot into them on an uphill (my chain came off and I had to stop).  I simply hated the road on that ride and can't believe why you'd bother?  Aren't you worried about busting a rim on your way down?  I'm supposed to do it again on Thursday (thank-you, dear coach of mine) with repetitions on the 1 hour uphill.  That means going up and down it twice; this after swearing that I'd never do it again.  BLEAH!

Anyway, you look amazing and very, very CANADIAN!
