    Took me a little longer to earn my frugal supper than I thought it would, but I finally got to eat!
    I am now 11 miles along. Yay me :)

    55 miles. I'm out of the woods and the sun is shining! I think I'll try to reach Bree by New Year's Eve. Only 80 miles to go and 15 weeks left would put me at a goal of 5.3 miles per week. As long as I work out at least twice a week, this goal should be too easy.

    I'm now at 33 miles...

    Road ahead runs fairly straight and level. Behind them it curves slightly. BLACK RIDER. Sam and Pippin hide in a hollow. Frodo behind tree by road (ca.5 p.m.).

    44.8 miles.

    Wood more dense, and lane went lower, running in a fold of hills, with hazel on the slopes alongside. Pippin quickly becomes sleepy.

    Still in the trees, they stop for lunch (ca. 2:00 p.m.). Their singing is cut by the cry of a Black Rider, and they leave (ca. 3:00 p.m.).

    Mile 199- Leaving the Marshes behind, yay! I can see the Weather Hills ahead. I think I will tackle walking some bigger hill to celebrate! I hope to walk the trail up and down Stone Mountain for my Weathertop walk. :)

    Mile 210- next mile I will "Camp by a stream, among stunted alder trees. Moon waxing."

    I've started walking a long hill near my home to prepare for the Weathertop climb. To celebrate walking 240 miles, I will walk up Georgia's Stone Mountain as my Weathertop-on or about mile 240. I am looking for steeper and steeper hills between now and then.

    What thrills me is that the hill I am walking now is so much easier than it was back when I started. Walking and squats are really changing me for the better! Now to find an even steeper hill!

    You're doing great Byrdiebee! I love the idea of climbing a mountain as you go up Weathertop,

    I'm now 63.8 miles... Farmer Maggot's house (yay!) and buildings: brick with thatched roofs, surrounded by a high wall cut by a wooden gate from the lane. Eat. (Est. time there: 5:30 - 7:00 p.m.: full dark when they leave).

    Mile 73 - Crickhollow - YAY!!

    Spend the night. "A Conspiracy Unmasked"

    I will leave Crickhollow soon after 6:00 a.m. Foggy. Ride ponies slowly.

    I never realized just how large the Shire is.
