Run The World Gobal Challenge celebrates running around the the world. RTW Challenge 12 started January 1, 2024. Monthly stats will be posted at the end of each month. We will also continue to keep track of miles from when we started as total miles since July 4, 2018. And of course our weekly log starting on Wednesday and finishing on Tuesday. The idea is to run or walk and then log those miles on your My Best Runs account. There is no entry fee. You just need a MBR account - and that’s Free too. After you sign up you log your miles on your account.

13.14 miles in Woodside, California (runner profile)
Ran over to Buck’s in Woodside from our house in Los Altos. This course has it all: roads, single track trails, wider trails, easy downhill, steep up hills, shade, sun, and even a lake. One of my fav courses. I would have never thought it was possible to run from Los Altos to Woodside until I googled it and selected walking to Woodside several months back. Sure enough there was a route!

Looks like you are recovering? Love that area of California. 8/8 9:42 am
Yes!! I have been doing yoga, icing, and small muscle workouts to get strength and flexibility back. Tightness almost gone. Still not pushing it and i'm wearing a knee brace while just walking around. Running straight is ok, just can't sprint or pound downhill. 8/8 10:52 am
Take care my friend! 8/8 9:47 pm
Honesyly I was pushing too hard. Took advice from a former military man that told me to listen to the pain.. it's telling you to ease off. I was running with emotion, as we should never do. If you are not in "that zone", you need to ease off and let the discomfort guide you hou to recovery. 8/13 8:55 pm

I think a runner needs to challenge themselves at least three times per week to improve. Actually when I am getting ready for a race I challenge myself like five times weekly. Good job today! 8/10 5:14 pm
Yes Bob, that’s the way to improve yourself. Have a nice running. 8/10 5:28 pm
I have been doing a lot of runs were I do intervals at the end. Think it is helping my leg turn over. Keep up the good work! 8/11 8:32 am
