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

Hello!  1.38 yesterday.

Please add 3.1 miles for me for yesterday please.

(BTW - I'm not underlining my mileage to show off or anything - it's only to make sure it gets counted.  There have been a couple runs that have gotten lost in all my wordiness so I'm going to underline my miles to help the people who tally the distance.)

21.25 miles for me this last week 7/30 - 8/5. 

Hi, 12.8 miles today.

48.3 miles this week. I'm home from my business trip, so I finally got to run outside again. :)

Hi, everyone! :D

2.25 miles for me. I'm getting there!

2.7 tonight.  I'm not getting as far as I want, but at least it's getting easier.

4 miles for today to wrap up the RATW week.

Just 1.4 miles off of the bike.   BTW, I wrote that my olympic was 6.1, but meant to write 6.2.  Does 100 yards count?

skinny_kitty: Yes the 100 yards does count and I will add it in. 

I am waiting for those wednesday posters to get in their miles and will be updating the totals tonight.  It looks like we have completed a little more than 10% of the remaining mileage.  Get ready for the count down!

4.25 miles for yesterday.  Week ending August 5:  9.75 miles total.

Morning all!

Joyfulake, please let us know when/if we've counted your mileage wrong.  It can be tricky to keep up with everyone, but we try to get it right.  We want to make sure everyone has their correct mileage!

Please add 19 miles for the week ending 5 August.  Thanks!

Please add 3.1 miles for me from yesterday. Managed to finish the 5K in 27:04....about 4 seconds short of my PR.

It's been hard getting back into running after my surgery in March, and I'm a bit slower than I was pre-surgery, so I was pretty excited about yesterday's run.
one sad little mile for me from yesterday...running when sick is no fun

sorry for delay ... Out of town on business.

Week End:  Aug 5th   -  16.2 miles

Hi everyone--5.3 miles today.
This week ending the 5th of August please post 18.5 miles.

************MILESTONE for Week Ending 5 August 2005!**********

400 Miles:
kscout 402.21

Congratulations, well done!!

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

Please notice we have only 2046.69 miles to go!!!

With all of the half marathons and other race events scheduled for the end of the summer we will be hitting the finish line very soon.  Remember every mile counts, every bit gets us closer to the objective!  Keep on keeping on!

please add 5, this morning thanks
