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

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

 No I didn't. We were at 32.75 MTG after jfk's post (1653). Egrabowski's mileage (5.5) dropped us to 27.25 (post 1654). So your 5 miles (post 1655) should have lowered us to 22.25, right??

Original Post by hecticred:


Who's going to bring us home?????

 

Me!! Me!! I'll have the exact total shortly (as soon as I map out my route on gmap pedometer), but I'm absolutely certain it's enough to bring us over the top!! Stay tuned...

Are you ready?????

18.1 miles today

 LADIES AND GENTLEMEN

 We have done it!!

WE HAVE RUN AROUND THE WORLD!!!!!!!!

*****************CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!****** *************

Bummer! My miles for the day are redundant! lol

CONGRATULATIONS everyone!

Even though we may have reached our goal, this is just the beginning. Stay tuned for our next challenge...

Meanwhile, continue to keep track of all of your miles, since you will be able to apply those miles to the next challenge.

wrm - It just seems fitting that you were the one to break the tape! 

Congratulations everyone!!

Looking forward to the next challenge.  My marathon miles will get to be included in the next go-round.  I did stay home and sleep in today - son had a good race, but no new PR.  There were only 96 people (runners and walkers), so chances would have been good for me to place in my age group - however, I want to be focused and energized for next Saturday's milestone. 

Happy Running :-)

WOOOOOHOOOOOO!  We are so AWESOME!  I can't even tell you all how fantastic this is!

 

Huh?  It's over that's pretty cool.  Well good job guys.

Yes, you're right, I think I must have posted at the same time as Egrabowski or something.  Good eye!

Nate, do not fear, it's not over!  There's a new MISSION in the works!

ALLLRIIIIGHT!!!!

I've been MIA since about the end of May/beginning of June and have slowly morphed from super-runner to super-lazy...But here I m again...Trying my best to get back into.

I ran 3 miles today : ( 

Hopefully next week will allow me to run at least 10 miles over the week. 

Recovery from injury sucks!

I missed you all....How did you all do in your marathons, halfs, etc?

EDIT: How sad am I that O came back the day AFTER you reached the end : (

{{minie13}}!  Long time no see!

I think yours should be the first posted miles of the new mission.  What is it guys?  Austrailia?

Congrats All!

Ran 15 miles today on sunday long run.  5 weeks to Marathon and now I know why they say running a Marathon is easy ... Its the training that killls You

A week after 1/2 Marathon the legs really were not looking forward to 15 miles this morning but grinded it out.

 Who says that running a marathon is easy?   Actually I think that the first 15-20 miles of a marathon are easier than the training, but the last six miles are worse. Great job on the LR!

Welcome back, minie13!! I'm extremely happy to see you back--please remember to keep the progress slow and steady (one of those "Do as I say, not what I do" suggestions).

 

Hi, a nice and easy 6.4 miles today.

11.9 miles today.  Don't know if it was the intervals or the cooler weather, but there was a new spring in my stride today, and I finished with plenty to spare.  It was a pace PR for a >10 mile run, not that far off my mid-summer 10K pace :-)

Wow!  Crazy that it's done!  So, since my last post and for the next challenge:

4.3 Friday

5.0 Saturday

5.0 Monday

And Minie13--yep--recovery from injury totally sucks!  I'm just finally getting back to more normal runs since last October!  Ugh!

Hi, Minie13!  Welcome back!  I was just wondering about you the other day!

Okay, I'll try to get a route around Australia up later today or tomorrow.  VICTORY LAP!

Also, I'd just like to report that I'm an idiot.  I'm taking today as a second rest day because I haven't been cross training at ALL since my knee pain incident and also ramped up my mileage too sharply the past could weeks.  Consequently I'm having knee pain again.  Yep, I'm not too smart.  Sigh.

Great job! that was awesome!! so i guess keep logging miles and they go towards austalia?? please add 5 this morning, thanks!! sorry about your knee pain jenka that is a super bummer!! hope it gets better soon

2.8 miles just after wrm finished the ratw and 6 miles today so 8.8 towards the oz run.
