My Challenge to All

I have 4 friends running the Greatest Race on Earth.  It's a series of 4 marathons in 4 international cities aimed at promoting a green planet.  In order, the marathon challenge began in Kenya (28 October 2007), headed to Singapore (2 December 2007), makes its way to Mumbai (20 January 2008), and finishes in Hong Kong (17 February 2008).  I was really interested in the second marathon.  My friend Kate has been struggling with injury and was scheduled to run it.  Because of her commitment to her teammates she opted to go to Singapore and run as she felt, realizing that if her body told her to "stop," she'd listen.  When her body gave her the go ahead to finish, I was really interested to find at least one activity on the TrailNetwork to show her the marathon in which she competed.  Here's that marathon below, as run by thelonelyrunner:

I then got to thinking about Emily (our first runner) and her marathon in Kenya.  I found something that really bummed me out.  Not one person in the Greatest Race on Earth - Kenya wore a device and uploaded.

My challenge to everyone is this.  I'd love to see the Mumbai and Hong Kong Marathons uploaded . . . and not by Allison (running Mumbai) nor Flora (running Hong Kong) nor me!  (I'm going to Honk Kong with my friend and teammate Flora to act as her Sherpa for the race.  Of course we'll be spending quality time in Hong Kong and Shanghai after the race!)  The first person to answer the call for each challenge will receive a year's subscription to MotionBased . . . soon to be Garmin Connect.  As soon as your activity is uploaded, comment to this post with the activity link and we'll get you squared away.

Hi guys! Happy New Year! Sorry for the delay . . . this never made it to my Inbox. Weird . . . ? Fortunately we did have an upload of the Mumbai Marathon!

Thanks for your support. We're gearing up to leave for Hong Kong on Tuesday. :-)
