    Those hobbits can really cover the miles, yarmiah, but you're making good tracks yourself!

    50 miles. Hello, byrdiebee! I missed the last post where you said hello and that you could see me in front of you. Looks like you passed me and got way ahead of me. I lost my workout buddy for a couple of weeks because she hurt her leg and I kind of lost my motivation for a while. Now that I have my motivation back, I have to have surgery (nothing too serious) and can't exercise for a few weeks.

    A good lesson for all of us...walk more and eat less. Those Hobbits knew how to stay healthy! Good job, Eldee!

    You're moving right along! Have you seen Byrdiebee? I'm afraid the barrow wights have her!!!!!
  • Eldee36
    Eldee36 Posts: 109 Member
    I caught a quick glimpse of her a while back but I'm not sure I can catch up. Fear not, Jaessa. She's getting so strong now that I'm sure she can fight off those wights if need be.

    10.5 miles now. Hobbiton hidden as slopes rise and fall.

    I'm starting to feel homesick already, or maybe just hungry - supper soon when I can find some trees to rest under.

    All that walking does have a tendency to make a Hobbit hungry!
