Walk to Rivendell Challenge
In honor of my 29th birthday (and in fear of facing my 30th birthday still overweight, out of shape and unhealthy), I'm kicking off a personal and very nerdy challenge.
Being a huge fan of Lord of the Rings *and a HUGE nerd*, I am embarking on the Walk to Rivendell challenge.
**I, apparently, don't have enough posts to include a link to the original challenge page. You can easily google it. And when I do the ability to add links, one will be edited in here**
I'll be following the path of Frodo and Sam from Bag End to Rivendell, then on to Lothlorian, Rauros Fall, and finally the dark path to Mt. Doom - a total of 1,779 miles. I plan to throw my excess weight and unhealthy habits into the fiery chasm of Mt. Doom by my 30th Birthday - 9/20/2012! Tune in for periodic updates of where I am on my journey!
Anyone who is interested is welcome to join me. There are many paths that could be taken - pick the right one for you. Walk, run, bike, swim, rollerblade, do whatever it is you do and post your totals!
"'But in the meantime what course am I to take?' said Frodo. 'Towards danger; but not too rashly, nor too straight,' answered [Gandalf]."

I admire your enthusiastic geekiness (where I come from that is a compliment!)
