I'm back! 53 miles in.0

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 me0 -
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.0

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.).0 -
Lots of people on the road! What fun!
Mile 156- Walking through the quiet of Chetwood.
*eyes boggle* LIBBY! You've met The Doctor?0 -
57 miles.0

38.7 miles
Go on in twilight. Begin to sing. (ca. 7:00 p.m.)0 -
Mile 172 in the rain today- very hobbity feeling with my hood up! Tomorrow I enter the Midgewater Marshes, eek!0

Bring your bug repellent, Byrdie!0

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.0 -

54.3 miles
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.).0 -
61 miles. Edges of fields worked by Farmer Maggot.0

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.0

63 miles. Farmer Maggot's house.0

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!0 -
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).0 -
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.0
