Walk to Rivendell - and Beyond!

Gaaah! I think my mistake was in believing, despite what the calendar was telling me, that summer would somehow be the less-busy time of year for me & mine. Yellowstone was wonderful, even when Beamer (my daughter) passed her cold on to me. We went fish - er - practiced casting our lines in Idaho, saw the sights and animals in the Park, caught up with friends along the way. No sooner had we gotten home, and Girl Scout Day Camp started. I'm the advisor for the older girls who help run the camp. All 24 of them. With a co-leader, thankfully. Keeping track of 24 teenaged girls for a week definitely helps with the Walk mileage! So, how go your walks? What's keeping you active these days? My progress: Miles covered (three weeks): 71 Cumulative miles: 609 Goal: Bag End to Rivendell So I'm now climbing mountains with the Fellowship, on our way to Lothlorien by way of Caradhras. Not the route I'd have chosen, but Gandalf was adamant. The old grumpy-gus. The good news is, I'll be sticking close to home for the rest of our summer, so my posts should be more regular - and I might even be able to check in on other threads here - yay! I'm hoping to add some gardening and cleaning miles over the next few weeks. Arandiel Resources The Walk with the Fellowship Challenge The Eowyn Challenge Useful links, including mileage charts compiled by the late Karen Wynn Fonstad, are on the Tools page. grammaboodawg's awesome site includes helpful activity conversion charts, mileages for Bilbo's Hobbitty journey home, and the Walk to Rivendell's TORn-up Postcards Notta's Super-Duper Walking-Equivalents Chart Eowyn Challenge Login Page is useful for keeping track of mileage, though be sure to keep a backup record, in case Warg attack, Wizard-induced blizzard, or other fell calamity causes the Shields page to crash. The Eowyn Challenge/Walk to Rivendell - and Beyond! is a Middle-Earth-related fitness group that began in March 2003, and has been going on with walkers around the world ever since. TORn's Walk is open to all people and healthy types of activity.

We're still on page 1, so let's post our updates here this week! My progress: Miles covered this week: 11 Cumulative miles: 620 Goal: Bag End to Rivendell I had a slow week, mileage-wise. Weirdly, sorting through my stuff involved a lot of being still. But I'm working my walks back in for this week, so I should make better progress on the Walk - even if it means taking longer to do the clearing-out. - Ara

I missed last week's update, which means I have two weeks worth of miles to note down this time. I've been spending a lot of time sitting behind books and/or computer screen lately, so I've made it my mission to balance it off with as much physical activity during the breaks as possible. Miles covered this past two weeks: 92 Cumulative miles: 920 + 172 = 1092 Goal: Lothlórien to Rauros In Middle-earth, I've reached the North Undeep as I continue south along the Great River. Happy walking, everyone!

I'm starting to see a correlation in my own life between 'busy' and 'not as active' - worrying trend, that... So I hope your new mission is successful, and you're inspiring me to do the same. Have a good next week!
