    Yeah. So getting halfway to Rivendell didn't happen.

    But, I have been adding miles. I've recently started Couch to 5K, so I'm adding in those miles. I should change my ticker since my bike and I have not been friends for a while now. :/

    Added 14 miles, for a total of 186.2.

    “And NOW to bed!” Pippin says, when BLACK RIDER is heard again (ca. 9 p.m.). ELVES arrive, RIDER leaves, and Frodo & Co. continue with Elves.

    Pippin realizes they've turned too far south as they are still in the trees.

    Have added 10 miles for 208.2 miles. Just over two centuries!

    In the story I am on the 5th day past Bree, almost up to camping by the stream, moon waxing.

    I've started working out at least 3 times a week training for a 5K.

    I'm adding 21.18 to my current mileage, which brings me up to 82.58 miles, I am on a path in the forest!

    You are doing well, scarlettvetter! You have a 100 miles in your sight! And if I get to hang out with Legolas in Rivendell, I'll be FINE hanging out there for a while. :love:

    I've added 6.66 (oh, no!) miles this week, to bring me up to 214.8. Still chipping away towards that halfway mark to Rivendell!

    Just need to point out that Bag End to Rivendell in the Hobbit was 397 Miles. In L.O.T.R it was 458 because they where running from the Black Riders.

    I started with L.O.T.R. mileage but thought I was doing the Hobbit Journey. Anyway. I have 11 miles so far.

    7 more miles brings me to 9 this week, and 36 total.

    Quick post because I have not posted mileage in here for 2 weeks. (Yikes!) From 3/25 through 4/6 did 12.15 miles running, bringing my total up to 243.43 miles. :drinker: I need to update my ticker and shield info, but can't do it right now. This week is bust because I don't feel well and haven't been forcing myself to run. Got to nip that in the bud.

    I've added in 2.2 miles today, bringing my total up to 245.63 miles. I have 9 shields at the Eowyn Challenge site - getting close to my 10th shield! :drinker: Somehow, I'm off by .06 miles on that site, so I've got to remember to take that off of my next update over there.

    In the book I am in the midst of the 1st day from Weathertop where Frodo was injured the night before. Poor Frodo - a wound that will bother him the rest of his life.

    On my first day I managed 2.2 miles which brings me to the end of the lane. Yes, that's how much I sit all day (at least during the week). I really need to walk around more... Let's see whether I will make it into Tookland today :)

    I think 2.2 miles is GREAT! The Hobbits didn't get there overnight and neither will we. Take your time and enjoy the journey.

    Hi Jaessa, thanks for the encouragement. I guess it's not so bad considering I chose a job where I sit in front of the computer. Won't be able to change that part of my day, unless they give us laptops and make us walk around in big circles... :) Not counting Saturday & Sunday I've now almost reached Stock Road. I should have counted the weekend just to see the difference.
