    My week didn't go quite as planned, but I got in a 3 mile run on Monday and 5 today. 4.45 miles until the Edge of Farmer Maggot's field. So close!

    Don't forget to grab some mushrooms!

    Omg, I am so far behind. I’m skiing this week and have crap internet so apologies for not checking in more. Don’t quite know how to log it so I guess I’ll be chilling for the next week watching you guys go by. The road goes ever on!

    45.31 until 3 days after weathertop

    2018 has been crazy for me this year so far, but starting today I am getting back on track and will make sure I get at least 4 miles a day again, Once it stops snowing I can finally get back out hiking. I miss those 12-20 mile days!

    I'm new here -- starting today. In honor of the event, I've pulled out my copies of LotR and am beginning to read The Fellowship of the Ring again as well. I haven't read this whole thread yet -- is there anything I should know about, other than posting daily?

    5.6 miles today, and 26.4 mi to Encounter with Black Rider!

    Awesome! :)

    Yes, some of those distances seem like they'll take forever, don't they?

    Welcome to the Fellowship! :)

    It isn't necessary to post daily. However, some people find it encouraging. Whatever works best for you. :)

    I hear you, @laurenebargar! I can't wait for hiking season. :) I've done a few winter hikes this year in the white mountains in NH, but I prefer warmer days for hiking!

    5k this morning. 1.35 miles until the edge of Farmer Maggot's field. Hopefully getting there tomorrow. B)

    Snow, rain and errands. Drug through the neighborhood on several walks by two excitable dogs; I should probably rename them Merry and Pippin.

    5.7 miles today; 20.7 miles to Encounter with Black Rider

    Nice work! My family got two kittens when I was in college, and my mom and I named them Merry and Pippin. :)

    4 miles in the snow this morning, and I made it to the edge of Farmer Maggot's field. :) Now 6.35 miles until Buckleberry Ferry.

    Hi everyone. I'm doing a "Walk to Mordor" also; but, I'm not using the app. I'm using another site for tracking (see NerdFitness).

    I'm going to watch this thread, too and try to give updates as I progress.

    The NerdFitness tracking sheet only gives a few milestones in the walk; so, my updates will be different than what the app shows.

    Here goes:
    • Total Miles so far: 394 miles
    • Daily Pace: 5.97 miles
    • Distance to Rivendell: 64 miles
    • Distance to Mordor: 1385 miles
    • Distance back to Hobbiton: 3010 miles

    According to the milestones at The Eowyn Challenge, I'm near the "Stone Trolls," a remnant from Bilbo's journey in the hobbit.
