    I'm new but this is awesome. I think this could keep me motivated to walk. I've got some catching up to do but this little hobbit will meet you there.

    I've been slacking. I'm still on that same path uphill in the forest. *sigh*

    I am camping in some thickets. I guess it's the boring part of the journey because there is next to no details about it. 266 miles in.

    I'm approaching Farmer Maggot's house; I'm wandering along in his fields right now. Mushrooms, anyone??

    Half a mile from the Midgewater Marshes.

    I really need to pick up the pace if I'm gonna make it to Weathertop before snow flies up here in Central NY

    I've been slacking, but right now I am journeying through the Barrow-downs. Just stopped Midday, ate & fell asleep! Oh no!

    We were just saved by Tom Bombadil and are spending a few days at his house. Then, on to Bree!

    I am pretty sure they have Giant Eagles to fly you into Mordor. Walking is a pretty good idea, but in the interest of time and saving the world and all, let's take a flight this time

    But what an excellent idea, It made me chuckle ;)

    Finally hit 100 miles! We just left Tom Bombadil's house....headed for Bree! But, we have to get past the Barrow-wights in the gloomy Barrow Downs first.

    Ahhh this is so cool! I want to start (even if a little late). I've run 13 miles this week. Is there a place where you can figure out where you are at a given time? Thanks!

    Silly, if you did that only the eagles would lose weight.

    Farmer Maggot just dropped us off at the Buckleberry Ferry and we met up with Merry there...any second now we're going to look back at the bank and see a Black Rider!

    No such thing as too late; welcome! We all have our different paces and favorite exercises to get us to Mordor. This is totally for you, but we like to tell each other where we are every few days in case a Nazgul gets you so we can mount a rescue mission.

    :)

    Please post back if you have questions about the websites, tickers, etc. and any one of us would be glad to help!

    Ok, I'm 119.22 miles in....I have been such a SLACKER!! I need to get moving more, but I do zumba and classes w/ my trainer so don't get as many miles in as I want :(

    I am currently riding north through a gap. Soooooooooooooooooo close to Bree!! Only 16 more miles!

    I'm just past Crickhollow!

    I'm pretty sure I'm walking more than I put in my ticker, but because all I have is a cheap pedometer and I do 85% of my walking indoors in my office building, I have no accurate way to know how far it is.

    Tips for a better system?

    I'm planning on joining this journey, but I need to buy a thing or two first. LIke maybe one or two of the Walk Away the Pounds dvds by Leslie Sansone. There's several of them. I think each of them are divided into miles, too. They're also based on levels of difficulty and what you want out of it. Like if you want to burn fat or walk away your hips and thighs. Just different things or a combo of things. They usually come with the bands and such that you need for them and you can do them at home. Not too expensive either. ^_^
