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!

 

Skinny_kitty: oh, I'm so sorry to hear that the hip will keep you out of your first 1/2 IM! I really feel for you. Try to stay off it so you can get better faster!

Primadonna: holy crap, you're going to Egypt? Kick ass! Have fun! I find when I travel to distant countries that I get enough exercise walking around doing the tourist thing. The last thing you want to worry about while visiting exotic places is your mileage total!

Okay, so far we have the following June challenges:

Jfk61: 50 miles

Primadonna: 30 miles, PR in a 5K

Jenka: 100 miles

Wrm2105 and kscout:  uhhh, TBD

Anyone else wanna take the CHALLENGE?

3.6 miles for me yesterday, and I finished the first 5K of that distance in 34:48, a whole minute off my 5K PR time from last year. That makes me very happy! 

I think a realistic goal for me for June is to run at least 20 miles a week - figure 80 for the month - and I hope I beat that number.  Out of the slump and happily moving forward!

challenge: put me in for 41 miles then i will have hit 500 woohoo!!

Hi, 8.5 miles today.

And put me down for 200 miles for June (I'm scheduled to complete 214 between June 1-30).

I think I am up for the challenge.  Put me down for 60 miles in June.  I will be trying to make at least 15 miles per week.  Let's see what happens.

BTW, 4 miles for Wednesday, 4 miles for Thursday. 

please add me for 5.86 miles today. thanks!!

Add 7 miles for me today.  Thanks

Hi, 6 miles for me today.

5.25 miles for me for yesterday.  Signed up and paid the money for the marathon in September.  Now I'm committed or should be committed - depending on your point of view!!  Let the serious training begin.

Good luck with your training, kscout! Feel free to shoot me a PM or question on the thread if you have any questions.

10.3 miles today.

Please add 3.1 miles for me today.

Finished the first sprint triathlon of the year--29th in the swim, 28th on the bike and 129th in the run (of 360).  And that was with a 5K that was 4 minutes faster than last year.  Oy, yoy yoy, there are some faaaasst runners out there.

This is my first post.  Today I ran 1.3 miles.  Thanks!

Congrats, jfk!!! It sounds like you did spectacular! And thank YOU shannymedic! I'm loving all these June challenges. This thread is really inspiring me to do better. All my recent traveling is definitely taking its toll on my stomach... meaning I have quite the nice spare tire. Blech! I'd love to make another June challenge be lose like 20 pounds, but realistically the traveling won't end until July so it'll be next month's goal.

Anywho, add 2.9 for me tonight -- a last minute run after a very trying day but worth it none the less.

please add 2 for me today, jfk there are some fast runners, that is awesome great job!! i have my next one july13th woohoo!! they are addictingly fun.

Please add 10 miles for me from yesterday. Thanks!

WTG jfk!!  And, yes, sprint runners gross me out too (I'm more like an old deisel engine -- get me going and I'll chugg along forever).

jenka:  thanks for the kind words.  Just found out it might be a stress fracture and I'm scheduled for a CT scan this month.  Rotten old bones...:P

Please add *another* 3.1 miles for me today.

skinny_kitty: So sorry to hear about your hip--you must be extremely bummed.  How long will it take to heal?  There are still some spots open in the Boulder half IM this August.....

heatherlanders: Yes, they are addicting!   I was soooo charged up after finishing Sunday.  I've got another this Sunday (a mini) and another on Father's day.  This is just the greatest time of year!

BTW you two (and any other Triathletes)--how do your sprint 5K paces compare to your straight run 5Ks?  On Sunday, my run leg 5K was exactly at my 10K pace--just wondering if you all see the same sort of degradation.

Thanks everyone for the WTGs!  Hang in there primadonna! When I was your age, traveling for work used to be glamorous believe it or not. (Of course, so were 5 pound cell phones....)

4.30 for me today.

Hey, has anyone heard from minie13? Is she on vaca?

jfk... if only my recent weight gain were a 5 lb. cell phone!! ;-) Skinny_kitty that totally sucks about your hip! I'm crossing my fingers that all works out well and you heal quickly!!!

A quick, last minute decision to run tonight. I'm trying to guage myself for both my mileage and my 5K on Friday. I'm also trying to just run more as a stress outlet. Work is FINALLY winding down, so I'm feeling good!

2.0 for me in the end.

Please add 2 mi for me today. 

Skinny_kitty I hope your hip heals quickly and your scan shows neg for a fracture. 

jfk Kudos on competitions, You are in go go go mode right now.  Take care of yourself.

fitnessfreak that looks like a good long run from Sunday!  Your knee must be better.
