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 to this week's MILESTONES! YEE HAW!
good morning please add 3.0 miles
166.7 to go!!!
Hi everyone--13 miles today.
153.7 miles to go!!
kscout: If I was faced with a similar situation, I would avoid running a 5K the weekend before a marathon, but only because I prefer a two week window for any shorter races before a marathon and because I know that I would want to race the 5K "all out" (6:15-6:30 pace). But before you follow this advice, you should probably consider how "fast" you want to run the 5K. If your goal is to set a PR or run an agressive pace, I would advise against it. However, if you want to include the mileage from the 5K to whatever you planned to run that weekend (if I recall correctly, I suggested that you run anywhere from 5 to 8 miles for your long run), and if you're confident that you can resist the temptation to go all out, then go ahead and participate in the 5K.
3 mile Recovery run from Sundays 1/2 Marathon
150.7 miles to go!!
kscout: Personally have cut out all races leading up to marathon for reasons WRM mentions above, although curious how fast I could do a 5K now as have not run one since June. I just cancelled 9/21 5 mile race that is part of hometown festival as it does not fit into the marathon plan, so instead of racing 5 miles for hometown glory I will be out on a 17 mile slow and easy run I think.
3.1 miles today
kscout: Eh, I've not been running so long that I really have really different speeds...if I'm training for a 5K, I tend to push everything; if I'm training for longer distances, I tend to slow down for all of them--so I'd just count it as training miles. If it were me, I'd do it. I'm never gonna break any records--I just race because it's fun, and the more fun the better!
147.6 miles to go!
I'll be better off to stay home and sleep - I'll have done an eight mile run on Friday, my last long run. I've just come to love running so much, it's difficult sometimes to take that step back and think about the long term. I did turn down participating in an adventure race on Sunday this weekend due to the marathon. My son may be running in that one as part of a team competition; however, his coach has to clear his participation, as that would mean three of the high school's varsity runners would be on different adventure race teams. Have to watch the potential for injury during the season!
This is my son's first year running cross country, but his martial arts training has served him well. - he's a black belt in tae kwon do. He has the mental endurance needed to train hard - and he is able to listen and follow through on his coaches' instructions. It's great being able to talk with my son about running and celebrating one another's accomplisments - and now there's competition for getting to the latest issue of Runner's World and Running Times in the household!
Thanks again - I really value your advice. I've learned so much since finding this thread last March. Hoping the thread will continue on in some fashion once we have made it around the world.
6.8 today
Thanks!
Woohoo, we're almost there--113.8 miles to go!!
Please start subtracting your miles from this number, not any other number. This updated total is the correct distance remaining--thanks.
2.5 miles for Tue and 3.5 miles for wed.
107.8 to go!
103.8 to go!
2.8 miles today off the bike.
It took 25 mins so looks like the other day when I was confused was likely 25 not 22 and since it was 4.5k not 5k, my 5k time going on the lower 23minute time I did not off the bike is probably closer to 26mins.
101 miles to go!
Edited miles to go cos kscout posted while I was typing so it was wrong.
6.25 glorious rain soaked, wind swept miles this morning.
94.75 miles to go!! (is today the day?)
Good morning all!
Kscout, just based on the fact that you'll be tired from working the night shift, and you know yourself well enough to realize you'll probably push yourself too hard, I'd say skip the 5K. There'll always be another one! Good luck on the marathon, by the way!
As usual, I ran out of time and couldn't do my long run yesterday as planned (this happens to me all the time!) so instead I did 4.5 miles of intervals.
90.25 miles to go!
5 miles for me this morning.
85.25 miles to go! WRM can you get this done on your Evening run ....OK!
8.1 miles today.
Sorry, rk1, I'm going to fall a little short on that 85.25 mile run for today. 
77.15 miles to go!
LOL, rk1. wrm could probably do it at a 7:00 pace :-)
Heh. Wrm would not only finish it in, like, an hour, but he'd lap the rest of us plodding along while he was at it!
7 miles done during my lunch hour today.
70.15 miles to go!
1 mile today--shouldn't run so many days consecutively, but I just don't want to be shut out if today's the day.
69.15 miles to go!
