    Sorry, I've been MIA everyone, I haven't been feeling too well. You are all doing great! Keep adding those miles! :)

    @sarahmsmith78704mfp Welcome to the Fellowship! :smiley: I too would much rather make this journey than being chased by zombies! :wink:

    Hopefully you'll soon be feeling well enough to get out there evading wraiths and racking up those miles! Tx

    6.02 miles today and another milestone topples. Now it's 7.52 miles until Sam and Frodo Escape Orcs.
    I'm more interested in the fact that I've got 86.52 miles until the ring is destroyed and in 14 days it's my natal anniversary. If I average 6.18 miles per day between now and then, I'll destroy the ring on my birthday!
    IT'S MY BIRTHDAY PRESENT, MY PRECIOUS!

    Thank you @TEQWAR I'm feeling better today than I did yesterday, so hopefully, that trend will continue. :smile:

    Congrats on the new milestone! :star: 14 days to completion, huh? What a PRECIOUS birthday present! :wink:

    There is a good zombie app that I think is similar to this called Zombie Run or RunZombie - something like that.

    The app goes on for a little longer after the destruction of the ring, but what a milestone!
    Got another 6.89 miles today so now .63 miles from escaping those orcs!

    Sorry to hear about all the sick folk! Feel better!

    I’m still dragging along past Rivendell- 44 miles to “9 days after”

    Some of the milestones seem a (3rd) age apart! They're much better when they're 10 miles or so. Still, you'll have that one done soon enough and then on to the next one!

    You're really doing great! Are you going to walk back to The Shire then after you destroy the ring? Or what are your plans after the ring is destroyed and you complete the little bit after that?

    Some of the distances between milestones are really really long! You'll get there! You're doing great!

    I'm thinking of starting again but logging my cycling on it instead of walking.
    One does not simply pedal into Mordor!

    Being grabbed by the wights is no fun, let me tell you! :)

    6.34 miles today, and that's March's exercise over with. 230 miles added in total this month with two days rest and 2 days of under 5 miles with the rest all over 5 miles per day. I'm now 42.92 miles away from The Dreadful Nightfall.
    I put the old LOTR BBC radio play on my headphones for my walk today and the Hobbits had just met up with Strider at the Prancing Pony when I got home. More tomorrow!

    Fantastic month, @TEQWAR!

    My favorite thing about Saturday morning runs is that I get to eat a second breakfast afterward. B)

    7 miles today, and captured by the Barrow Wight! But I escaped and am on my way to Bree. 19.7 miles to go.

    Nice going! It doesn't pay to hang around the Barrow Wights too long - they spend too much time wearing crushed velvet and lace and listening to the Smiths!... Oh, wait a second, that's Goths, isn't it? Easy mistake to make. Pale, hide in the shadows and like to hang around tombs and graveyards. :smiley:

    Here's my totals for this year so far. These are all deliberate walks, I don't log my day to day moving about steps.

    Hahaha love it! Second breakfast on Saturday. It's like the adult's version of Saturday morning cartoons. :grin:
    Great job!

    I LOVE that radio play——used to have it on cassette (yes, I am ancient). Is it available digitally?

    There was a cd release - it's where I ripped mine from - it doesn't appear to be available from the usual sources as MP3 - the cds are available on Amazon. LOTR On Amazon
    there's also someone who's put it on Soundcloud. LOTR on Soundcloud
    Another 8.26 miles today. 34.66 miles until The Dreadful Nightfall
    In the Radioplay, Gandalf just fell into Darkness in Khazad-dûm.
