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

Feels OK right now.  I'm hoping its still not stiff or sore in the morning. 

Logging another 7 miles for today. Felt really good!

Hi--9.5 miles today.

Haven't run in over a month but I cranked out three miles today and it felt awesome!!!

Hey all! Did 10.3 miles this morning--a new distance PR, and my first double-digit run!

I'll contact the tally team to work out a schedule.

Edit:  This may take a little while, though, since CC allows only 2 PMs a day (and one was already gone :-().  I got one off to williwigi, and I'll send to jenka and primadonna tomorrow--if one of you can send it on to wrm2105, maybe we can sync up a little quicker.

Hi jfk61,

I have already sent a message to jenka to let her know that I would be more than happy to total up mileage for the current week (Feb 13-19). 

BTW, congrats on your first double-digit run!!

Hi--20 miles today.

hi, today was the lost dutchman very fun race did the 10k so please add 6.2, came in 5th of my age group yeah!!!

Another 10.5 for me today. 

I was going to skip runnning and working out all together today, but I'm so glad I didn't.  I had a great run.  Better than usual. 

Hello!

Please add 2.6 miles for me from this weekend.

Thanks! 

I've just tallyed up all of my totals since the 8th and it comes to 66.15 miles.

I've resisted the temptation to post as I go this week...

I wish I had more time to help out on the site :( -- the desire is there, but there just aren't enough hours in the day.  If there's anything I can do to make my own contribution as easy to add as possible, I'll do it.  I've skimmed through the posts from last week, but I'm not sure I understand exactly how you guys have decided to do this.

It's just so weird that zarelha is not around at all!

On a more upbeat note, I finally managed to do a 5k in under 30'!  (29'27").  Okay, so it was partly downhill and I had the wind at my back, but still!!  It's all new!  I'm beginning to think that I might be able to do my half-marathon in April in under 2 hours.  Man, that would be sweet.

Hi, folks,

I've created a new RATW user profile and started a new thread here:

http://caloriecount.about.com/forums/post/821 16.html

It's basically the same thing, just one that we can alter because the Tally Team all has the username and password in order to update the original post. If everyone could take the discussion over there that would be good.

Thanks!

4 miles for me from this weekend yeah!

43.4 miles for this week.

4.5 miles this past week. 

I'm having trouble with hip pain.  Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

M:7 T: 6 W: 6

Thanks!
