    I changed my mind tonight. I'm not going to be walking with Frodo just yet. I'm going to walk with Bilbo first and do "The Hobbit" mission before I start the journey with Frodo. I prefer (and have to) do things in the order that they were intended. Therefore, this is what I did yesterday on the journey with Bilbo: We left Bag End and ran south down the lane toward Hobbiton. Then, we crossed the bridge across the Water. After crossing, we turned east on the road to Bywater. It's not as long of a journey as Frodo went on, but still a long one nonetheless.

    According to The Hobbit mission: After we had kept walking until we reached the Great East Road, we turned east. Then, from there, we walked 2 more miles and passed Three-Farthing Stone. But, we didn't stop there. We walked another 2 miles on top of that before we finally stopped and camped. So, that's what we are doing now. Just camping and resting for the time being.

    Ok first of all you guys are amazing didn't know there were so many LOTR fans out there! I would like to join a little late. Are you guys going from Hobbiton to Rivendell first and then moving to Rivendell to Lothlorien and so on?

    Hi there! We are all actually going at our own pace; some of us are starting out from Hobbiton to Rivendell as the first leg. I plan to add the next destination on to my ticker when I indeed get to the Last Homely House. :) There's another fabulous user who is doing the Hobbit, and the strongest of heart have already set their tickers all the way to Mordor! (This was before they took non-MFP tickers out of our signatures.)

    This challenge is really what you want it to be, and completely at your own pace. As for tracking your distance; if you walk or run outside, then I have heard that mapmyrun.com is a good place to check up on your miles. Gym machines will often tell you how far you've gone, and if you're like me and walk all on your own indoors, then I have a pedometer (but intend to invest in a better one eventually).

    Please let us know how we can help you, especially if trolls waylay you or something! Welcome to the journey.

    Still hanging in there...haven't had any milage in 2 weeks, since I have been sick, but am going to be working on it again starting at lunch today. I also have a weight lifting class after work, so today is going to be killer in terms of calories burned, lol.

    Gone 380 miles. Hills are higher and steeper. We are forced north out of our way. Still raining. Camped on a stony shelf by a shallow cave.

    *kicks thread* Wake up!

    Since MFP banned tickers (other than their own) in signatures, it is hard to see one another's progress. However, I am cutting and pasting the image code directly into the body of the message, which still seems to work right now. Try www.lilyslim.com or www.tickerfactory.com for a ticker you like.

    And post back as you progress from your chosen starting point to Mordor! See you on the path. :)
