    You're really doing well! That's a good system you have going as well. :)

    Someone told me about the "Run Zombie" app. It's very cool too.it tells a story as you walk.
    So I am running (well walking actually) away from zombies and also following Frodo and Sam's journey at the same time!

    Zombies and LoTR combined...that sounds quite interesting. :D

    Whoa, there's an app for this? I've been using a spreadsheet.

    09/23/2016 - Started the Challenge
    7/18/2017 - Destroyed the one Ring
    9/29/2017 - Returned to Isengard
    10/29/2017 - Part way back to Rivendell (last time I manually updated the spreadsheet)

    So far I've walked/ran 2480.10 miles, going from barely finishing couch to 5k sessions to completing my first 1/2 marathon in 1:56:58 last week.




    Wow! Great job! B)

    Hey everyone! So, I started using this app called Walk to Mordor and I'm loving it! So far I've walked from Hobbitton to Tookland and am now 12.42 miles away from Encounter with the Black Rider.
    With the app you log your miles (or km) and it calculates them into where you would be on the journey that Frodo and Sam took in LOTR. :) The whole journey is 1,932 miles which is gonna be over a year for me. :o
    Who wants to travel with me?

    Y'know, I could literally do this, because I live in New Zealand ;). In fact, I used to be able to see the location for the encounter with the Black Rider from my bedroom at my old house (spoiler, it's in the middle of Wellington city). It would take a hella long time to do for real though, those locations are spread all over NZ, with a lot of back and forth!

    Does anyone just input their miles from your fitbit at the end of the day for this?

    Hahaha Really?!? Right in the middle of a city? :D

    So, would it be more or less miles if you were to travel to all the filming locations?

    I input my Garmin Vivofit miles at the end of the day. :)

    That’s what I do.

    I have 4.33 miles in today. About 1/2 way to the encounter with the black rise.

    Still at walking speed, but I could reach Tookland today if I really push myself! Only 1.78 miles; I normally average 1.46 so hopefully I can get myself there.

    So, would it be more or less miles if you were to travel to all the filming locations?

    Yep, was maybe a 3 km walk from my house, in a little pine forest above one of the inner city suburbs.

    It would be way more miles if you did them in order. For example, Hobbiton is in the Waikato, which is ~500km/300 miles from Wellington, where the encounter with the Black Rider took place.

    Here's a handy list of where various things were filmed: https://www.newzealand.com/int/feature/the-lord-of-the-rings-trilogy-filming-locations/

    Thank you! I did lose more weight. :) Though, I need to make an adjustment; for the second week in a row I lost more than 2 lbs - not healthy. I switched the goals to 1lb a week instead of 2 lbs. We'll see how that goes. I don't wanna ruin my metabolism or get sick from losing weight too fast.
