    Am I cheating? I round down to the nearest mile according to my Fitbit- so I am including some milling about and not just walking for exercise....we each make our own rules I suppose?

    Anyway 32 to the trollshaws!

    I enter the mileage from my tracker. Most of my steps come from intentional exercise anyhow. Besides, it’s a long trip :)

    I love this app and this group of people!! Everyone is so upbeat and encouraging. :):)

    3.3 miles on the treadmill tonight. 16.45 until the edge of Farmer Maggot's field.

    Great walk!

    I include everything my Garmin says. I figure a step is a step.

    Midgewater Marshes West has been left behind, now 22.45km to Midgewater Marshes East.
    I also include everything from my Fitbit so I hope it's not cheating!

    The only reason I don't include all of my daily steps is because it encourages me to run more. I just started training this week for a half marathon, and knowing that my training run will help me get that much closer to the end of this journey is a fun motivator for me. :)

    I don't include my daily steps either. Since I started logging with mfp, I've also been logging all my exercise walks with MapMyFitness. Since I've been doing so, my exercise walks have been hitting 200 to 250 miles per month - I'm up to 164 in February (Januhairy's total was 223). I figure it's going to get me there soon enough.
    I've also recently taken up cycling in the past couple of weeks - I don't log those miles either (122 in February so far). Once I finish walking to Mordor, I think I might then restart and only map my cycle rides. Pedal to Mordor! Of course, now I've got a strange mental image of some kind of E.T./LOTR crossover where E.T. is replaced by Smeagol in the basket. :D


    You’d better have a pretty robust off-road bike to make it across Emyn Muil. :)

    You'll soon be through the Trollshaws and meeting up with Bilbo's Trolls! Nice going!

    Weekends, I do a bit of both - 12 miles cycled yesterday and 16 today. Really feeling it in the thighs and calves now though so I'll probably just have a walk tomorrow. Part of me wishes I included my cycling miles as I'd almost be done!

    6.04 miles this morning - and a good morning it is too!
    8.32 to Desolation of the Morinnon

    Might go out again this afternoon if the weather holds and put another 4 or 5 miles on the total.
