    Well I was so excited to start walking at work today. Dug my runners out and a spider has now called them home and they are all fuzzy (mold)... I have to wear heels/proper shoes at work so I can't go out for a quick walk down the street in heels. :(... nothing a quick spray of vinegar and a good b/f to dig the spider out... set back :'(... soon I will join!... I will put in the small little bits I have done but it really isnt that far

    Clearly Shelob sent one of her spawn to thwart your plan...

    (Oops, i See @Faelwyn_the_Rising_Phoenix beat me to the obligatory Shelob joke)

    My only complaint so far, only two language options, English and French. What, no Elvish?

    Welcome to the Fellowship!

    Elvish would be Awesome! Though, sadly, I would be lost. :D

    Sindarin or Quenya? Surely you don’t want it scripted in Tengwar....

    I had an Adam Ant Poster in my dorm room at Uni. That’s one fine looking man.

    The first single I ever bought was Stand and Deliver. (Or Stand on yer Liver as we used to sing along). :)

    They've got some tasty cutlery at The Barrows, might be worth grabbing a knife or two! Personally, I prefer to do all my shop at The Gap of Rohan - they've got an outlet there.

    Yeah but their cloaks and waistcoats are so mainstream. I prefer Mace-y’s in the Rohan Armory.

    Congratulations on your new milestone. Hopefully, you can get out of there quickly without too much kicking and screaming... :D

    13km since my last update.

    21.45km to the Black Rider.
    My legs seem to almost be on board with this serious increase of walking/joggin that's happening.
    Hopefully the weather will let up soon and let me outside.

    Great job! :)

    We had two nice days in a row and I took advantage of them. Now we're back below freezing. :(

    0.64 Miles yesterday

    40.74 Miles to 3 Days After Weathertop

    Yeah....my body didn't like the C25K idea... sigh I struggled with week 1. I'm not even gonna attempt week 2. At least, not at this stage. I've got to get out of this flare first. C'est la vie. At least I tried it.

    Don’t worry about that! It took me forever to finish. And I still walk faster than I run, so what’s the point? ( purely from a transportation standpoint)

    Also as I recall, the only (non-battle) runners were Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas while the were tracking Merry and Pippin after their abductionby the Orcs. Frodo and Sam just plodded along:)
