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!

 

Ok, I would like to join this adventure, but not quite sure what I need to do!  I know just by looking at all the other stats that I'm probably not going to pull high numbers like everyone else, but I'll sure try my best!  What do I need to do?

shannymedic welcome!  Run as much as you like and post as often as you want.  Some folks post after each run, some on a weekly basis.  The tally week starts on Wednesday and ends on Tuesday.  You will find a mix of runners here, not everyone posts big numbers.  The key is get inspired and to have fun!

Thanks wiliwigi!

4.68 miles for today.....grrr. i'm depressed...i used to be able to run 7+ miles a month ago! too much sickness & too many injuries :(

1.1miles today. Not much but legs are killing from yesterday!

Hi, all!

Did everyone have a lovely Memorial weekend? I did, although I didn't do much. Ran my virtual 10K and did some shopping. Good times!

Welcome, shannymedic!

Please add 6.2 miles for me on Monday. 

Did the Bolder Boulder, supposedly the country's largest 10K with 53,000 racing this year.  Great weather for speed this year, but I was hobbled by a nasty side stitch for 3 miles...everything I tried seemed to make it worse, so I just had to slow down and endure it.

I know how you feel jes516...seems like forever since I've had a PR to celebrate.

3.1 miles for Sunday.  Hiked half of the 13.5 miles yesterday, then the weather started to turn.  The trails get very slick when they get wet, so we opted to save the other half of the trail hike for another day.  Hiked four more miles in the rain down the road back to the truck - it was a gentle, warm rain and felt wonderful after all the climbing we did in the morning!  Saw deer, toads, frogs, and birds on the trail - no snakes - was on the lookout for rattlers and copperheads.  Great way to spend the holiday!!

Hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! 

Please add 13.1 miles for me from Sunday.
It was a tough run - since my surgery about a month ago, it's been tough getting those longer runs in. I'm happy I "gutted" this one out, but at the same time, am grateful that this run was just about the mental aspect of getting it done, and not necessarily about time and pace.

Did everyone have the great weather we had here in NJ?  I spent the weekend with family, playing baseball and football with the little kids, so not much running in a straight line - 1.4 mi for me this week.

11.5 for me last week ...

47.7 miles for this week.

10.5 miles for me this week.

Welcome shannymedic!! Congrats to lebrowne! That's a great job on your first half-mary!!! Way to go. Congrats to the others for also running this past weekend for the virtual race. I completely forgot all about it while I was away (sorry...).

BUT on a positive note, wrm, you were absolutely right!! Due to a freak thing with my laptop, we could only get internet for about 24 hours (which bode well for my DH but I was in sessions all day). I didn't get your post until just now, but the concierge suggested the trail you mentioned. MAN! It was gorgeous! I loved running along Lake Michigan, and instead of running for any reason, I just ran and allowed myself to enjoy everything around me. It was fabulous. The closest thing I have here in Philly is Kelly Drive, but seriously, the Schulykyll River isn't nearly as clean as Lake Michigan. I will say I was no where near the 18 miles but I was pretty happy with the 5.6 I ended up with. I wanted to run again this morning before I left (well, run more in general), but I will say I was totally unprepared for the weather. I brought shorts and tanks... sigh, I never claimed to be a good planner.

Well that's enough of Alicia's Travel Log. Hope everyone else enjoyed their weekends as much as I did!

EDIT: Jenka - I love the idea of a June Challenge... maybe we should consider a group challenge? Maybe for everyone to shoot for 5 extra miles this month (about a mile per week?) OR run a race you wouldn't normally run? I added a 5K that my DH and I are going to run/walk. JFK -- 53K runners!? Holy cow! Smart to listen to your body. Side stitches are the worst!
