Mission: Run Around the World--MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!


Quote  |  Reply

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

5.6 miles in glorious RAIN today.  Ahhh...

wiliwigi:  you could always set up spots along your training route where you hide bottles of water (in a bucket with ice and sponges, maybe?) and whatever electrolyte drinks offered on race day.  You'll want to get your body used to any gator-junk they might be serving beforehand.  If it's really hot, you'll need the electrolytes to keep you going.  And don't forget gels -- they come after an hour's worth of effort.  Wear white and have fun!  Don't forget your hat!

Morning all!  Please add 10 miles for me for the week ending 22 July.  Hmph.

please add 6 miles this morning, thanks have a good day! 14.35 to go :-)

3.0 miles for yesterday.

Miles for week July 16-July 22:  23.7        ;      Fell short of goal of 30 miles - missed a run on Sunday and had car trouble yesterday that cost me training time.  Did get bootcamp in at the pool and am feeling the effects of both Monday's and yesterday's workouts.  Everything is sore!!!

July Challenge Goal:  100 miles   Miles to Date:  75.8 miles

Planning an 18 miler for Friday.  Do you think I would benefit from putting trash bags filled with ice on my legs after this run?  I will not be able to get home to soak in a tub. 

0.5 for me yesterday.  thanks!

Folks, please stay tuned.  Updates will occur this afternoon!

Hey--14 miles for me today. Temps today are in the low to mid 70's w/ low humidity--a very nice break from typical July weather.

Sorry for this late entry for last week. Did 3.2 miles yesterday.  Ended up being about 5 miles less than I had wanted to do for the week, but oh well. Today's a new day! And if I feel like skipping a run due to heat and humidity again, I'll just drive to my mom's (the stupid gym is closed again this weekend!!) and NOT PROCRASTINATE anymore.

wiliwigi - I had to laugh at your calling me a runner after my little semantic debate on that topic:-)

Please add a measly 2.5 miles for me from today. I had the most incredible side stich, and despite my efforts to exhale with great force and rid my body of the excess C02, I just couldn't get rid of it, and couldn't run through the pain.

Oh well....will try and do a "long-ish" run tomorrow.
5.5 miles today in 80 degrees, 80% humidity.  It was like jogging in a cloud (a hot cloud), but at least it wasn't on a treadmill!!!

***************MILESTONES (Week ending 22 July)***************

400 Miles: skinny_kitty (412.02)

1800 Miles: Wrm2105 (1834.30)

2100 Miles: Aezell1 (2115.80)

 

Congratulations to this week's MILESTONE ACHIEVERS!  Good job!

********************************************* *************

Good morning, all!  GREAT JOB on the milestones, everyone!  We are collectively impressive!

Not much to report here.  I've been running 2.5 miles a day on the treadmill and feeling fine.  Next week, I'll up it to 3.5 miles a day.  If that goes well, then I'm back in the game!  Crossing my fingers!

5.45 miles for me yesterday.  Was pretty fatigued after an hour of bootcamp in the pool.  Instructor is trying to do us in this week!

5 miles today. I thought I was going to finish in 35-40 mins the way it felt - it felt fast. I even got a bit excited and when I was on a quiet road did some simulated hurdles! I thought wahoo-I'm finally improving on that time when however little distance I ran it was 6mph/10min-mile. I finished in 45 minutes in the end. Hmm, oh well.

Hi everyone--11 miles for me today. 

MTD: 221.2 miles. It looks like I'll barely make my goal for July.
Please add 7 miles for me from today. Still seem to be battling the side stitch issue...but at least today, it was somewhat bearable.
3.7 miles for me on the week ending 21st.

4 miles today

Hi, 6.5 miles today.

please add 6.25 for me this morning, 8.10 to go
