    Making slow progress, but I'm happy that it's progress. Finally out of Bag End and into Tookland! Only 26.1 miles until Encounter with Black Rider. That must seem so long ago for many of you!

    Made it to Redhorn Pass!

    27.49 miles until I am attacked by Wargs. :o:o

    @TEQWAR have you decided what trip to take next? The trip back to the Shire from Minas Tirith and then to the Grey Havens is not documented in detail even by JRRT, although it's cheerier than the walk to Doom...

    Nothing springs to mind. I need to find something as I'm racking up some serious miles this month (17 miles just today) and I'd like them to be going towards something.

    I might go shopping, I know they've got a Gap at Rohan. Do they have an UnderArmor or a Nike?

    :lol:

    Not sure, but if you are looking for a car I understand there's a Ford of Bruinen up by Rivendell -- that's a dealership right?

    Hi everyone! I was deep inside for grid for a while hiking the John Muir Trail - got some serious miles in but even more perspective oh what a job it would actually be if all these miles to Mordor were mountainous and wilderness- those are some stout hearted hobbits

    Maybe do a virtual hike of the Pacific Crest Trail or the Appalachian Trail (or something like that)? Those are really well documented with all many stops inbetween.

    Over several days (because I am only counting intentional exercise not real-life and incidental steps) I got 6.1 miles and am now beyond Tom Bombadil's, and 11.3 miles from being captured by the Barrow Wight.

    I only ever log intentional exercise as well. I feel it's more "real" than incidental miles. :smile:

    2.49 miles today!!! I wish I paid more attention to the distance (rather than length of time) - I was so close to 2.5 miles!

    19 miles until Encounter with Black Rider!

    Another 2.93 miles down. Only 13.19 miles until Encounter with Black Rider.

    Also, I have my first 5K coming up in about two weeks. I'm really nervous (pacing is still something I'm struggling with on my runs). Does anyone have any tips or advice?

    Don't start in a rush with the rest of the crowd, try to stay on the outside in the starting corral as everyone goes to the middle and pushes. All of those peeps that rush past you in the start, you will have the pleasure of passing later! Make sure you hydrate well the day before, don't wear anything new on race day, and have fun!! It is an awesome experience that will leave you wanting to sign up for more!
