Oh this is cool - something visual to help with the walk too. And since all things Tolkien will become popular again, that's even cooler. A few years back my husband went as gandolf, my young son as Frodo, the baby as a baby hobbit and me as a peasant woman... maybe NEXT time we dress up I can go as one of the pretty, thinner women in the story! At 265 that seemed stupid (when we dressed up that's what I weighed).

So, I'm in. I have only 4 miles so far as I walked 3 yesterday and 1 today. I also have a step counter, but I won't count daily walking - just workout walking as I do a lot of walking. I'll count an hour of step aerobics (which I do once or twice a week) as walking 4 miles because I walk 4 miles in an hour.

Fun challenge!

Berryblondeboys, you have a Galadriel face! I can see it now!

First day logged 4.36 miles - I'm in view of the Brandywine Bridge!

Scorbett! Hurry! Get out of the shire! I just saw my first black rider during my morning walk/jog of 4.04 miles! (I jogged 2 of those miles!) No wonder that black rider came upon us though... my baby got tired of her stroller and started screaming bloody murder for the whole 2 miles back.

At 33.75 miles now. Now a stones throw left of the road, going slower (thank goodness, Frodo, I can't keep up with you!) Time for some Leslie Sansone this afternoon.

Anyone have a lembas recipe??

7 miles logged this morning; 4 running, 3 walking

I'm so down for this!!! I plan to get a pedometer and count my steps and all forms of movement! Ah so exciting and fun

I get my bike tomorrow and then there will be lots and lots of biking to Mordor. Today I bought a bike computer (odometer - the biking equivalent of a pedometer) so I will be able to track how long my rides are. I am so excited!!!

I did strength training today, so no mileage, but cardio tomorrow! I'll be on my way to Mordor!

I walked a mile, but also did strength training today... Maybe we were throwing rocks or carrying heavy packs or wearing armor or heavy swords today.

I <3 it, Melissa! My packs were over-heavy at the start. Gained arm and leg muscles, but didn't cover much ground Today will go better.

Gatorgirl! There is only like a month of biking season left here and then 6 months of too icy/snowy roads! I wish I could do some biking, but I need to get one of those bike wagons to put my kid in... maybe I can find a used one though I probably won't get much use of it til the spring... I haven't biked in nearly 2 years now! Ugh!

Trom and Blondeberryboys, you definitely will need your strength for the walk.

I did 3 more Leslie miles yesterday afternoon for a total of 39.75, so now I'm off in the twilight beginning to sing! Going to meet the elves pretty soon! Plan to get to 46 miles today.

Another 3.39 miles yesterday - Hobbiton is behind me and I'm down the first slopes of Green Hill Country!

So I decided to not do pedometer but to just count miles done with Nike + on my shoe that involves me walking somewhre since it keeps track already I'm counting miles it's counted

Everlasting - I am lucky enough to live in the Sunshine State where bike season never ends.

OK, just updated my ticker. I'll do each journey separately. So, first one is to Rivendell - probably the nicest walk of them all.
