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!

 

5 miles today.

That makes 15 this week.

22 miles for the past week. 

Unfortunately, I have had a nagging back injury (did it picking up my 2 year old) so had to skip a run and shorten then others.  Its finally STARTING to feel better, so hopefully I can go back to increasing again.

3.5 miles for me today which makes 40/40 for my June challenge!!

yay!!

And because that was not terribly hard to accomplish I am going set a goal of 50 miles for July.

Double bummer. I've worken up and my knee is so swollen I can barely walk let alone run a half marathon. July challenge isn't looking good so far. :(

5 miles for me for yesterday.  Weather was beautiful for running - the actual run was really difficult.  I felt very fatigued for the first couple of miles.  Last mile and a quarter felt a whole lot better.

June Challenge -  after subtracting mileage for the last three days of May that was inadvertently added in, I finished 109.40 miles for June 1-June 30.  Hit 29.4 miles over my goal of 80 - time to do a happy dance!!!

July Challenge - I'm going to up my goal to 100 miles and hope I beat it by a few as well. 

please add 2.25 for this morning, goal for july 50 miles woohoo!! we are a month away from being done, i haven't wanted to say anything but this has been a big part of my life for a year i love it, we should do it again or pole to pole something!!!

Hello everyone!

Sorry for the delay.  If you can still take last weeks totals, mine was 29.73 for WE 06/24/08.

For this week, WE 07/01/08, my mileage is: 37.08.

Thanks!!

~Tatjana

Had my first 50+ mile week!!!! 51.8 miles. Woohoo. :)

6.25 miles of relaxing after-race hills :)

I logged 1.45 miles today. Not much but I'm feeling tired. I'm SO not used to running!

New month new goals.

This week 4 miles -

I completely bonked the June goal - finishing only 25 of 60  The last two weeks were a complete washout.

The goal for July is 60 miles

2 miles for me today!

2.5 very tired miles for me yesterday.  Wanted to get in 5 and break the 30 mile mark for the week - but better to listen to the body.  It looks like my decision to halve my mileage this week is going to be a good one - feeling very, very fatigued.  Focusing on protein, carbs, and sleep.

Keep at it! We didn't start running 5 or 10 miles a day overnight.  It takes practice.

3.13 for last night (ran with a friend who has that nike thing so we knew precisely how far we went).  Should make a total of 14.13 for the week.

And I think I did 12.1 for the previous week.  I think my 4 mile run might have gotten missed when the additions were made.  Please include that.  If it's too late to add to last week's totals, please add in 4 miles to this week.

Thanks!

Week End 7/1/08:  12 miles

please add 1.2 today, tired.

Hi everyone. Please forgive me, for I have been a total slacker. It has been several days since my last run (I didn't run on Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday). The good news is that I still ran 239.8 miles in June, crushing my challenge goal of 200 miles and setting a new monthly distance PR.

I finally ran today (13.5 miles), which I found grueling thanks to the heat and humidity (85 degrees with a dewpoint reading of 67 degrees)--it's the start of my challenge to run 280 miles in July.

Great job everyone with your distances this past month.

Hey ladyfirelyght--I totally agree with what ness757 says. It took me a couple of dreadful months on the treadmill before I felt comfortable finishing 3 miles. Hang in there.

Don't feel bad about not breaking 30 miles this week, kscout. After four consecutive weeks of increasing mileage, you were due for a cutback week. You made a very smart move by holding back.

Congrats on your first 50+ mile week, aezell1!!

Hello, family in town, haven't been running too much! I plan on changing that this week.

In the meantime, I did get in a 2.6 mile run yesterday.

Please add 4 miles for me from today.  Had a great vacation, but am equally glad to be back to my normal routine.
