Walk to Rivendell - and Beyond!

Can't Post

We're walking... and biking, hiking, cleaning... and whatever other types of exercise come along! How's it going this week? My progress: Miles covered this week: 20 Cumulative miles: 700 Goal: Bag End to Rivendell It's been an up-and-down week for me - and not just because I'm climbing the Misty Mountains with the Fellowship! Some days have been bursting with activity, others, I felt like a slug. But I managed to stay in the ballpark, mileage-wise, so I'm choosing to focus on improving this week. Happy traveling, everyone! 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.

It was a slightly slower, but still a pretty good week for me, with most of my miles being walking miles this time around. My progress: Miles covered this week: 48 Cumulative miles: 1310,5 Goal: Rauros to Mt. Doom In Middle-earth, the Fellowship is no more. I've decided to go with Sam and Frodo (and Gollum) in an attempt to conquer Mt. Doom. We've began our journey by crossing the Anduin and entering the eastern Emyn Muil. Happy walking, everyone!

Impressive strong start on biking!! I think fate is taking care of you, actually, by limiting an aggressive start. I knew someone who ran marathongs regularly, and he would say he'd have a strong run one day, then ease up or rest the day after, then repeat. So until you find your balance with nutrition, sleep, and activity... don't worry about building up nice and easy so as not to risk fatigue or injury. *high five* Well Done!!! See you on the Road :D

It's September, already?! Summer flew by even faster than usual, it seems. Days are already getting shorter and so are my walks -- school and work take most of my time nowadays. My progress: Miles covered this week: 42,5 Cumulative miles: 1353 Goal: Rauros to Mt. Doom In Middle-earth, I'm still wandering amongst the hills and ravines of Emyn Muil. I'm beginning to think that *nervous sigh* I may be lost. Happy walking, everyone!

Hi, everyone! It was great to see your updates - cooperative weather, life changes and a strong start - way to go, team! How's it going this week? I apologize for the delay this week; I kept getting an error message when I tried to get on TORn's site yesterday. And today, I'm down a finger for typing (mandoline plus zucchini plus tired operator equals small gouge out of operator's fingertip ). And I had a slow week, exercise-wise, owing in part to the insomnia that contributed to my little misadventure this morning. Maybe I'm unconsciously fighting Gandalf's insistence that we take the pass over Caradhras... yeah, that's what I'll go with. My progress: Miles covered this week: 15 Cumulative miles: 715 Goal: Rivendell to Lothlorien Have a good strong week! - Ara

I hope you have tons of fun walking those miles! and that you get to enjoy NOT moving. My finger's doing better this morning. I can't type with it, which is throwing me off my rhythm, but so far, so good. And on the plus side, it means Beamer and my Hobbit will be doing dishes for a while - no excuses! And where would we be without Sam's spidey-sense? Even bigger trouble, that's where! Have fun, gramma!
