To Mordor!

I'm still camping... it's getting old. Reached 325 miles. 28 miles until Strider finds an Elf Stone! Whoop!!

What a great idea. I'm in.

I'm in.

I'm in the Old Forest, currently in the Bonfire Glade. Rumor has it that this is the home of Old Man Willow...I have several miles to go before I meet up with that old tree.

I haven't posted in a while, been busy and did something funky to my knee :sad: But here I am now and I'm just a hair under 100 miles!

I spent a rainy day at Tom Bombadil's.

I changed my mind tonight. I'm not going to be walking with Frodo just yet. I'm going to walk with Bilbo first and do "The Hobbit" mission before I start the journey with Frodo. I prefer (and have to) do things in the order that they were intended. Therefore, this is what I did yesterday on the journey with Bilbo: We left Bag End and ran south down the lane toward Hobbiton. Then, we crossed the bridge across the Water. After crossing, we turned east on the road to Bywater. It's not as long of a journey as Frodo went on, but still a long one nonetheless.

Oh my god MFP has other LOTR geeks! Count me in!

I havent updated on this for a loooooong while, i was at about 80 miles i think, anyway this is where i am:

I have travelled a total of 204.4 Miles.

Swam 1.48 Miles
Cycled 72 Miles
and Run 130.87 Miles

I am on my 5th day from Bree; Reach eastern edge of the Marshes. Can see Weather Hills ahead. Land starts to rise. Land drier and very barren. A few birds.

Ok first of all you guys are amazing didn't know there were so many LOTR fans out there! I would like to join a little late. Are you guys going from Hobbiton to Rivendell first and then moving to Rivendell to Lothlorien and so on?

Also I don't have a HRM or anything so how can I track my distance?

Hi there! We are all actually going at our own pace; some of us are starting out from Hobbiton to Rivendell as the first leg. I plan to add the next destination on to my ticker when I indeed get to the Last Homely House. There's another fabulous user who is doing the Hobbit, and the strongest of heart have already set their tickers all the way to Mordor! (This was before they took non-MFP tickers out of our signatures.)

This challenge is really what you want it to be, and completely at your own pace. As for tracking your distance; if you walk or run outside, then I have heard that mapmyrun.com is a good place to check up on your miles. Gym machines will often tell you how far you've gone, and if you're like me and walk all on your own indoors, then I have a pedometer (but intend to invest in a better one eventually).

Please let us know how we can help you, especially if trolls waylay you or something! Welcome to the journey.

Last week I walked the equivalent of 24.88 miles.

Miles walked to date: 246.04

222 Miles in. Heading toward the foot of the Weather Hills.

How did you get your ticker to stay? Mine disappeared.

Still hanging in there...haven't had any milage in 2 weeks, since I have been sick, but am going to be working on it again starting at lunch today. I also have a weight lifting class after work, so today is going to be killer in terms of calories burned, lol.

You all may be part way there already but I will join up! To Mordor!! How are we keeping track?

*kicks thread* Wake up!

Since MFP banned tickers (other than their own) in signatures, it is hard to see one another's progress. However, I am cutting and pasting the image code directly into the body of the message, which still seems to work right now. Try www.lilyslim.com or www.tickerfactory.com for a ticker you like.

And post back as you progress from your chosen starting point to Mordor! See you on the path.
