Mission: Run Around the World

OK, CC-ers!  Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is ... To help the newly-created CC World Runners Club run around the world!

Check out our new mini-website for more fun information! Please post all your discussions here - there is nowhere to post on that site, but there are links to this and the Learn to Run Thread.

www.worldrunnersclub.com

Every day that you run, whether it's 1 mile on the treadmill or the Boston Marathon, report in via a PM or a post (but not both!!!!).  If you count it as a run, so do we, but try not to include straight walking warmups/cooldowns (jogging counts, though). 

You may send your miles (or kilometers) in daily or weekly.  Updates will be done weekly as of Tuesday 11:59 PM.  Miles will be added up from Wednesday through Tuesday for our weekly totals. 

YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE MILES AT ANY TIME!  Even if you only contribute one mile, once, we'll still welcome it, so don't be shy!  As long as it's run during the week we are working on, it counts.

Not a runner yet, but want to be?  Check out the Learn to Run thread and start now!

Please see Post 1 for more information and the itinerary.

We will start 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. 

Start date of the run:  August 1, 2007, 12:00 midnight. 

Let's see how fast we can do this!!!  Please post here if you want to join and contribute your mileage!  We welcome any help we can get!

Our next challenge:  - Getting from Santa Cruz, Bolivia, through Peru and to Ecuador, then to Colombia 

Here is our Actual Progress

Countries we've run: Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador

This is such an AWESOME idea!I run about 3-6 miles every day depending on my mood and food consumption. Can you please sign me in!
Can't wait!

Thanks all who posted!  See your progress in the main post!

Check our our new website! www.worldrunnersclub.com

I'm no webmaster, and more advanced things are not part of my repertoire, but I thought this would be fun.  If someone knows a way to allow people to post their totals themselves, that would be so awesome!

To answer some of the questions:  One person (namely me right now) has to add up all the miles.  Just post or PM them as often as you want but do not duplicate.  I will update as often as possible, so we can see our progress.

Miles should be counted from Wednesday morning to Tuesday night.  Once a week, usually Wednesday, I will update the route here and the website.  If you post once a week, please post by Wednesday morning for your previous week's runs. 

joyfulake - you can still go on googlemaps, and motivate yourself with short runs in the areas we are covering!  But I think it would be too confusing to let everyone work with the maps.

Steelslady: 1 mile

Steelsdaughter: 1 mile

zarelha - 4.7 miles.

I meant to run just 4 (longest ever), but got lost, and had to find my way home! :)  Lots of hills today - whew!

LOL, you added my daughter's mile but not mine. Did you accidentally post it on the poster above my daughter's name (spacedreamer01)? 

indeed! fixed! :)

4.37 miles for me (from last night).

Thanks!!

(And I'm sorry for my previous post.  This is going to be a big job, so just do it however makes sense to you!)

the websight is super cool!! great job

Ran 6 miles yesterday. Awesome website btw!

Oh my god, the website is so slick!  Are you a web designer??  GREAT JOB!  It looks totally professional (the http://www.worldrunnersclub.com/ one).

I love the website! I am so excited about this! Thank you so much for the "challenge".

I ran 2 miles yesterday and walked 1. Do you only want our running miles?

Thanks again for doing this!

=>

3 miles from me to start off! 

I will comply with the Wednesday deadline for weekly mileage posting.  The website looks AWESOME!

zarelha: I think you meant joyfulake re: google maps. 

o.k this morning 1 mile warmup/cooldown and 4.10 run = 5.10 miles

3.0 miles at lunch today, maybe more tonight after yoga class... (I'm sure my dogs would appriciate it) ;)

Hey friends.  Good Job on doing the running.  I looked at the list and a lot of you are doing great.  I wish I could have started yesterday with you all but, while I was on vacation I stubed my toe on a eliptical trainer and bruised the bone and joint.  Ouch.  Then yesterday when I got home I steped wrong on the same foot and messed my ankle up.  I dunno what.  But ouch again.  I decided to let it heal some before I went running again.  I'll give it a go tonight though.  Congrats and pats on the backs for everyone.

Alright I'll join in:

nightc1 : 2.6miles

Hopefully I'll be able to update regularly but I may not be as much help since I'm about to change jobs and my running days will probably dwindle for a while.

I did 2 miles on 8/1

so i got 2 miles in on the 1st...ps i LOVE that website!!!

What a fun forum!  Wow, don't envy you the work keeping track....

5.3 miles for me today (8/2).

Amy

I'll contribute my 7.5 miles for today.

It was a brutal run, but I feel completely energized now, and ready to tackle the second half of my day.
