    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!

    OP, I am so sorry for your loss - this is the first time I have seen this thread since returning to MFP. I would like to join - got room for a latecomer? I will be keeping track on my Fitbit. What a wonderful idea to stay motivated!
