Here is a poster I made for my Facebook page. For me, it's kind of a Merry Xmas to myself and a chance to reflect on the progress I've made. I haven't quite reached my goal yet.

Left: I'm standing in front of Bag-end, Bilbo and Frodo Baggins' house Middle: the day before my birthday. Right: taken before my Round the Bridges run

You look great! What awesome progress!!

Whoo, congrats, your progress is totally awesome!

Did you actually go to New Zealand and visit Hobbiton? If so, that is so very awesome as well, I'd have loved to have been in your shoes right then! /such a hobbit geek

I live in NZ Just up the road from Hobbiton too. It's only 30 mins away

Thank you
