    8 mile bike ride puts me at 34.25- I've seen the trees of Woody End across the fields to the south and am currently camping. Ah, rest... now if only the dwarves would stop singing.

    This is lovely! My grandmother introduced me to Middle Earth, she's been gone for 20 years now, but I bet she would have loved something like this!

    So sorry about your grandfather! I think it's wonderful that you read to him and even more so as it was The Hobbit!

    I printed out the Eowyn Challenge that you referenced. While I don't think I will be joining your challenge now as i already have my training schedule for the rest of the year (over 700 miles...not quite there and back again to Rivendell), I am going to see if I can incorporate this into the schedule I do for next year starting Jan. 1st. It's so interesting especially for a geek like me!
