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.

2.0 miles for me today! Off to Albany. See everyone in a few days!

please add another 5 miles for me from today.

13 for me today. Woohoo! PR for distance!

Congrats on the distance PR, minie13!!

34.71 Miles for me this week please.

Hello,

15.18 for me this week. 

I may not have very many miles run, but I did a 5k on Sunday and I was thinking that 5k's were 3.18 miles rather than 3.1 miles.  Even at 3.18 it was a new PR.  When I learned however it was 3.1 miles I I realized I hit the 5k at 24:28 rather than 25:08.  I was really cruising.  I was hoping to get under 26:06 which was my old personal best, and I did!  So this for me was a great running week even though the mileage was low.

Morning, all!

I am back from Birmingham. It's a pretty cool city, I liked it a lot. Although sooooo much smaller and slower than Atlanta, it was kind of a culture shock.

Took Sunday and Monday off from running, just because. Sunday is my regular day off from running, but because I didn't go to work on Monday I just decided my body could use another day off. Color me slacker!

Welcome new people, and congrats to other people on their PRs!

47 miles for this week. Thanks!

My February miles - 17.8

8.1 Miles for me this week.

Hi everyone-- 10 miles today (including 2 miles of interval training).  

Hi everybody. 26 miles for me this week...

A  little late on reporting for me but I need to add another 10 miles to my log.  These new 5 mile distance runs are really making me feel great!

I'd love to join this thread; I've seen it around for a few months, but figured I was too late to join; then today I read, anyone can join at anytime--is that correct?  I'm training for my first Half Marathon this May..Great job, everyone!!!

Please add 7.15 miles for me today.

Nice job on the 5K rk1!   Isn't it amazing what some race day adrenaline will do for your performance :-)

Congrats on the PR bignate -- wish you lived closer by; it seems like we run a pretty similar pace..

You've made such amazing progress minie13-- 13 miles on a treadmill, Oy vey!

Yes, lebrowne, you can join at any time--I only found this thread back in January after a New Year's run challenge (hey, shouldn't we do another one of these soon?)  All you half-mary trainers are making me think I should have stretched my goals a little further this year!

Mark another 3.1  Broke my PR for the 5k today!! YEAH ME!

I really want to get back to the 10k's I was running but I think I may have pushed to hard to fast and the calfs just wont have none of it!!! 

 

Hi There,

Please add 10.5 miles for me from today. Felt really good to do a nice, long run and let my mind wander for a little bit. I now have a running list of errands and a partial grocery list started in my head :)

I did 4.2 this week. 

Today was really supposed to be longer than the very brief 0.7 miles I ran... the springlike weather lured me outside to run, and then it promptly began raining.  It's still a little cold here in the Northeast to run in the rain!!  Maybe tomorrow.

Greetings to all!

This was the biggest mileage week of the current calendar year. So far we are 21 runners posting 393.76 miles and still counting.   

Milestones Passed:

100 Miles:

bake7829 (111 miles)

200 Miles:

energygirl (202.15)

300 Miles:

tatjanaturtle (303.69)

Special Congratulations to wrm2105 who has set a new benchmark for individual distance in one week posting 68.80 miles. (edit changed from 78.80 slight miscalculation)

I am sure that there are more of you who have not posted for the week yet.  I will continue to check and update as needed.  Congratulations to everyone for a great effort.

If you are out running at night do wear white or reflective clothing.

Happy Running to all

 

 

Hey RATW mods- My total for last week was 30, not 20 : )
