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

59.15 miles to go (subtracted for bignate0100)

I was just going to post with the update--thanks for beating me to this ww.

Darn ... Was planning a rest day, but may have to run tommorow just to have shot to cross the Finish line!!

If someone could get us to .10 to Go I would gladly run down to my stop Sign!

2.5 emotional miles, i am going to miss this thread!!

52.35 to go!!

Hmph, I haven't gone running yet today, hope all the miles won't be done before I get to it!

Heatherlanders, I think we're all in agreement that we're going to do another mission.  The question is merely which mission!

According to our route plan, right now we're at the tip of South Africa.  See the map here: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=1174669. You know what, though?  I was thinking that we totally skipped Australia!  Who's up for a victory lap around Australia?  If so, I'll do up the route!

I think that a victory lap around Australia would be fun and something "relatively short-term".

I'll be back later to post my mileage for today. 

5.1 miles this morning,  no rain, no headwind, just cool morning breezes.

47.25 miles to go!! (jenka you had better get moving, rumor has it wrm is out for a personal distance record for today)

I am sure that manta515 could give us a great route around Australia, what a fantastic idea, then when we have finished there lets go to the South Pole!!

ww

I was just thinking about a lap around the South Pole, ww!!  Meanwhile, I quickly drew up a map of a possible route around Australia, and it measures around 8550 miles (more or less)--this is something that we could finish up in four or five months.

Hi there all you globe trotters, 10 miles today.  I figured that I shouldn't do the remaining miles on my own today . But seriously, I've never run that many miles in one day, and with the Chicago Marathon exactly one month from today, I can't risk injuring myself by trying to set a distance PR.

37.25 miles to go!!

Yay, thanks WRM for doing up an Australian route!  We can knock that out in no time.  Then the South Pole.  Wheee!

Okay, I'm headed to the gym now, wiliwigi!

4.5 miles of intervals for me today.  Actually did a couple minutes at a 6:45 pace, and felt really strong, like I could have done more.  I'm really starting to like the interval training---getting hard to do anything else on a treadmill.

And since this is likely my last post before someone breaks the tape at the finish line, I just want to say thanks to all of you.  My first post here was New Year's Day 2008 when I did my first ever 10K after one of zarelha's challenges.  If even on that day, one of you had told me I'd log over 500 miles this year and complete a half marathon, I would have urged you to cut back on the hallucinogens. Thanks, all of you, but especially jenka, wrm2105, wiliwigi and primadonna98 for stepping in at the critical time to keep this going.

Now let me get to the finish line and cheer you all in.

32.75 miles to go

3.5 for Thur and 2 for today ...

27.25 miles left to go

Jfk61, ditto on all your sentiments.  Being accountable to you all has improved my motivation so much!  And everyone here contributes to a wonderful sense of camaraderie! Thanks to everyone, and especially to my fellow Tally Team, who've really pitched in and made our mission a success!

And, may I say, we are AWESOME!

Just home from the gym, where I did 5 easy miles.

28.75 miles to go!

Yeah, only 22.25 miles to go--sweet!!

Wrm, did you run another 6 miles last night?  Heh, why don't you knock out those last 14 miles today, then?

WAIT! Wait for me! I'm going running right now!  

Back in a bit.

(By the way, for some reason the "bold" function doesn't work on my home computer.  It looks bold when I'm writing the post, but after I post it, the bold goes away.  Weird!)

I'm baaaack!  I did 7 miles.  OMG, I'm so excited how close we are!

7.25 miles to go!
