Leave your current mileage and active hours in the comments :)

Week 1:
ell: 34/130 miles, 6.5/20 hours
franzi1981: 9.5/25 km
ilanarama: 12.6/70 miles
linaelyn: 0/25 miles, 8/35 hours
liv: 7/40 km, 7/25 hours
meri_oddities: 40/120 miles, 2/8 hours
ridicully: 7/75 km, 0/25 hours
semielliptical: 21/85 miles, 1/8 hours
blnchflr: 14.3/50 km, 1.5/2 hours
temve: 19.5/70 miles, 9/20 hours

Together we travelled 264.3 miles or 425.5 km, or 24.4 % of our collective goal!



We started off at the northern-most tip of Denmark, temve and franzi1981 kindly doing the ceremonial "one-foot-in-each-sea" on all of our behalf :)

We headed down through the Jutland peninsulae, passing Aalborg, Denmark's fourth biggest town/city, and Aarhus, Denmark's second biggest city.

Point of interest: While we were passing through Aalborg, it was actually Denmark's fifth biggest city, due to the tent camp at the Roskilde Festival being Denmark's fourth biggest city for that week.

We made it past the Danish/German border, and almost to Schleswig, Germany.

So, where do we want to go next? Keep on south and see if we can make it all the way to the German/Austrian border? Or head west for the Benelux tour and [ba-ri], or maybe east for Eastern Europe - Budapest, maybe?

I'm at 27 km and still 1.5 active hours.

[franzi1981]

19.7km and 2 active hours. Also, if I remember to, I'm sure I can find pictures of Aalborg from the last trip. We were on the "wrong" side (Hjoerring) for the sunset pictures to be of any "use" ;)

[meri_oddities]

I'm at 84 miles. And 3 active hours.

[ell]

I've got 9 active hours and 65.5 miles run so far :-)

[semielliptical]

42 miles, 2.5 hours, so far for the month.

It's fun to imagine running through different countries rather than the same old paths and trails at home!

[franzi1981]

The Budolfi Kirke in Ålborg.

[ilanarama]

No change for me thus far this month. I will be running again towards the end of the week, I hope!

[temve]

29.5 miles and 19 active hours... yep, wearing my triathlete hat again this month I'm afraid!

[ridicully]

25km and 3h of active time for me so far.

[liv]

11 / 40 km (27%). 10½ / 25 hours (42%). I missed some runs the first half of the month, but hopefully will pick up again in the second half.
