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.

29.4 Miles for me this week! Thanks! :)
60 miles for me last week.
3.1 miles for me last week.
7.69 miles - again in thick forest, up and down the sandy hills, in belly-deep swamps etc. Plus some minutes lost due to laughing hysterically when I saw my running partner tumble _again_ face down in the mud (I wasn't luckier than him). Too much fun :D
yay!! finally ran today......after 1 week of a hurt ankle followed by 2 weeks of being sick & limited cardio :(
5.05 miles.........tedious miles, but at least i finally ran!
please add 5 miles for me from today. thanks!
I'd like to add 3 more miles
thanks!
11.5 for me this week. It is great to see all the new runners. Welcome to all of you startreadingandstopeating, phimegaphi, peacelovehominy, and ducklingerthank you should see you names up in lights with all your miles very soon. Keep on running and posting. Don't forget to sign up for the Memorial Day Virtual Race

With people adding like this and increasing mileage, I wonder if we will finish before the end of July?
6.2 miles today, which is it for the week, too. We'll need all those new runners to make up for my slacking, wiliwigi!
skinny_kitty: Hope you're not riding that new cervelo on those horrible roads. I try to take it easy on the way down an bunny hop the horrible Mt. Evans road seams, still...it's like getting smacked with a rod on the palms every 100 yards. I had to hustle off the mountain to avoid an electrical storm after a race to the summit last year, and blew a tube that I had to patch in the ensuing hailstorm. Funny...I haven't been back since....
Welcome startreadingandstopeating, phimegaphi, peacelovehominy, and ducklinger! We are happy to have you and the miles you run. Please don't forget that our weeks run from Wed. to Tues. You can post daily or weekly mileage here or PM the RATW userID.
A blissful 5.3 miles for me tonight putting my weekly total to *drum roll* a low 7.8. But I needed the time off after Broad St. Tonight I'm trying something the running store employee suggested during non-training weeks -- instead of going out with a mileage goal in mind, I'm going out with a time goal. In other words, tonight my goal was to run for a minimum of 30 mins but no more than 60 mins. I took it very easy, so when I got to 30 mins, I thought, "Well, this is too much fun to stop." Then, when I hit 45 mins, I thought, "Geez, only 15 more minutes and I hit 60, so why stop?" 5.3 miles later I felt very relaxed. Exactly what I needed during end-of-the-school-year wrap-up. I think I'll stick to this strategy until I start training for the fall half-mary's.
BTW, has anyone been to Egypt? I'm going this June for work and was hoping for some advice from fellow travelers. Thanks!
PS -- The mileage will be updated tomorrow night -- I have to finish work stuff tonight and it'll give everyone a chance to post last minute miles.
Welcome new people! We're very glad you joined our group!
Folks, between my running shoes and visit from the in-laws, I've been scarce lately. Thank goodness for the Tally Team! Hee. So in-laws arrive today (from Scotland!) and will stay a week This means that my mileage will be low until next Wednesday again. I have to say, I'm totally fine with this. Although I do like to be able to report high mileage I'm perfectly happy to have an excuse to take a couple easier weeks. Although, what with all the cleaning, shopping and errands I've been doing to prepare for their visit, it's not like it's really been an "easy" week!
I gotta say, Trinzaka, you are having TOO MUCH fun! It really sounds like you're totally loving the orienteering thing. Go you!
I ran 20 miles this past week. Meh.
2.36 miles sprint on totally normal ground this time :P
11.8 miles for last week.
4.5 miles for me last week. Would have been more, but I got a calf cramp in the middle of a wonderful, rhythmic run, that almost pitched me into a ditch on the side of the road. I've been soak in hot, rubbing, and popping calcium, and the ache is finally easing off after 3 days. This couch to 5K program is tops - I'm really looking forward to feeling better and getting out there again.
Primadonna - I've been to Egypt and had a wonderful time - I'll PM you.
Welcome new runners!
I did 8.2 miles of HILLS yesterday. I never should have asked dh for a run course (you'd think after 12 years together, I'd learn...but NO! Blame it on the blonde hair.)
jfk: But that's just it; my hands were really sore after that ride down Jay Peak from all of the vibrations and the road seams made me lose half my water. Yes, I am on my Cervélo, it's all I've got that's rideable. I just worry so much about the spokes and the rims and the...well, everything. My coach wants me to redo the uphill portion twice tomorrow, but she hasn't ridden Jay Peak in 3-4 years so she's not clear on the state of the road. *Sigh*...
Original Post by jfk61:
Please add 5.0 miles for me today.
Hey JFK -- you posted this on 5/8 which puts your mileage at 11.2 (including yesterday's 6.2 mile outing). Can you confirm this since your last post only included the 6.2 miles from yesterday? Thanks!
Mileage updated! I'll add any late posts tomorrow.
