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

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CONGRATULATIONS!!~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~
1.75 miles yesterday! Yay, I'm increasing! Thanks so much to wrm2105 & primadonna98 for your thoughts and encouragement! The couch to 5K program is how I even got up to 3 miles so maybe I should just get back down where I'm kind of at now and finish it back out. Thanks again!
This week is totally dragging. I can't believe it's still only Thursday! Don't know what my problem is.
Nothing to report, just checking. As primadonna mentioned, the heat wave is over! We're back down to very reasonable upper 80s. Also, we got a sprinkling of much needed rain. I'm still going to the gym this week, though, despite the pleasant weather. Still waiting for my new sneakers to arrive, and in the meantime, the treadmill is easier on my knees.
Happy running, people!
I expect to be out of touch for the next few days. My birthday is tomorrow (I turn 39 this year), and we're heading to Boston tonight for a few days to celebrate. Oddly enough, my mother-in-law also celebrates her birthday tomorrow, so we'll be having a cookout tomorrow evening at the in-laws, before taking the rest of the weekend for some big-time celebrating. I might post any mileage I complete while I'm away (planning to run a total of 29 miles over three days), but more likely than not, I'll post my miles when I return on Monday night.
Have a great weekend!!
3.0 miles for me!
please add 2, happy birthday!! wrm2105.
can you add 3.8 for me today?
After dealing with a hip injury, I've finally gotten the green light to run, so I've stared back. I'm slow, its still painful, and I have lost a lot of the endurance I built up, but at least I'm running again. So, please take me off the hiatus list! :-)
So far this week: 3 miles
Last week: 7.1 miles (did a 5K race - and had my worst time yet!)
Week before: 12 miles
Week before that: 10 miles
Hope that's not too many weeks for you. I've been away from this website too so I had no idea a new Run Around the World was set up. That to whomever is doing it (I can't read all these posts!) Would someone mind briefing me on where we supposedly are now? Africa? I can't believe how far you've all gone in the past few months! Great job, everyone!!!
Joyfulake - Welcome Back!! Glad to see you're feeling better and back on your feet again!!
Hi everyone!
My laptop's been broken so I haven't been on in a while... could you please add for me 9 miles for last week and 5 miles for me so far this week?
Thanks and enjoy the beautiful weather!!
Still waiting for my new sneakers to arrive, and in the meantime, the treadmill is easier on my knees.
Mental image of Jenka running on her knees on the treadmill (lol) Had to read it twice. Here's to great weekend running!
Wiliwigi, heh, I even had a dream last night that my sneakers had arrived and I suddenly became a running gazelle! Hee hee!
Joyfulake, YAY, welcome back! Glad you're all healed! Don't worry, your endurance will get better, all you gotta do is keep at it. Um, we have no idea where we are. Someone needs to update the map, but no one wants to volunteer. Still, we're three quarters around the world, that counts for something!
Wrm, no WAY, my birthday is on Monday! Have a happy birthday, and say "hi" to Boston for me (my hometown)! Geminis rule.
Hi, leafsfan!
June challenge update: so far I've run 43 miles toward my 100 mile challenge. My original plan was to run 20 miles the first week and 25 the second week, but I ended up running 24 both weeks (or will have, after tonight's run, and taking tomorrow off). Next week I will shoot for 30.
Other June Challenge updates? Just about halfway through now!
Please add 3.1 miles for yesterday. Did a "Stroke and Stride" duathlon--the swim was a little slow for me, but the 5K was *really* close to my flat-out 5K, so I was quite pleased with the run.
jenka, I am currently at 17.5 miles against my 50, but the late surge is part of my strategy :-)
And yes, Geminis rule.
I'm just taking a quick moment to check in with my mileage from this morning's run (10.3 miles). But before I leave, a few things:
1. YES, Geminis rule.
2. Glad to see joyfulake and leafsfan back again!!
3. Jenka--I absolutely love Boston. I lived there between 1987 and 2006, and while I'm very happy to be back in Chicago and closer to my immediate family, as the song goes, "I love that dirty water." I try to make it out to Boston as frequently as possible.
4. Because I hadn't had a chance to comment on it--ultrarunner2--you are one crazy mofo, running the SD RNR Marathon and the SD 100 on back-to-back weekends. Although I'm shooting for a BQ time this year, the ultra distance is calling again. Hopefully once I have earned the BQ and run Boston, I'll move onto ultra distances on a fulltime basis.
5. Hi primadonna98, congrats on your 5K PR.
6. Congrats on your AG win, jfk61.
It's great to see everyone step it up.
1.3 on the treadmill today. welcome back joyfulake!!! glad you are doing better and back in the game!!
1 mile yesterday
Plan for June was 5,25,25,25 and so far it's been 9.1,14.5 but today I should be doing 5 again so on for 9.1,15.5....not quite on track. But there ARE slightly more than 4 weeks so I should make it up. I'm going home to wales today so fresh running ground. I have 3 runs planned for the next 3 days - 5,7and6.2 miles and after that I'm home for all the summer with no job so exercise galore!
Hey there. 3.1 pain-free miles yesterday (!).
(Had the scan on Thursday and will get the results in three weeks. Ugh. Gotta love universal health care.)
Happy birthday WRM!!
WTG JFK! How's the view from up there?
Welcome back joyfulake. (From someone who's living the hip injury thing right now.)
A hearty thanks for all of the well-wishes. I really hope this injury is behind me.
And wiliwigi thanks for the laugh -- jenka running on her knees...*rofl*...
