    My hobbit name is Lobelia Proudfoot (which I'm not going to use because it makes me think of Lobelia Sackville-Baggins).

    My elvish name is Galadriel Culnamo.

    I'm Bethea, and I'm 24. My first goal is to get to Rivendell (like most others!). I started today and I've almost entered Tookland! I will probably follow Pippin's path, because he is my absolute favorite hobbit!

    This is the most brilliant thing I've ever heard, and it makes me giddy inside to exercise!

    Good morning. I'm Sheelagh. Currently residing in Edmonton, AB, Canada.

    I've been tracking my walking for the past few weeks and just found out about this group. Seems an awesome way to keep me motivated AND my get my geek on.

    My first goal is to walk from Hobbiton to Rivendell (468 miles) and I've already managed 129.3 of those miles since Feb 6th.

    Hi, all!

    I'm Sammybunny and I ADORE all things "Tolkien". I came across the Eowyn Challenge website about a year ago, but have not started to walk from Bag End to Rivendell yet. I was SO excited to see this group! Can't wait to start walking down the road in Frodo's footsteps!

    Hi I'm DanOhh, 42 from Kansas City! Not much of a hobbit myself... more of a dwarf. In fact my middle name is Oren which gave me the nickname 'Oren Oakenshild' back in the day.

    Hi All! I'm SaharaZara, 38 and I am planning on setting out from Bag End to Rivendell tomorrow. I just finished reading the books this past spring, and am so excited about this challenge. I will be biking the whole way. This looks like a great challenge to keep me on my bike and moving. Looking forward to it!

    Hail and well met all fellow travellers! I'm Katie, sometimes called Key, and I've been on the road to Imladris since the last board. I'm a little over 95 miles in, but wasn't able to walk due to some health problems.

    Then I discovered a hobbit-ish pasttime that I could handle, and my FitBit will help me track my steps... I'm going to finish the leg to Rivendell by dancing! And we'll see how it goes from there.

    Welcome! Dancing your way is a great idea! How are you going to track it? Are you doing a specific kind of dance? (Sorry for the questions - I'm a former professional dancer, and I cannot believe it never occurred to me to dance to Rivendell, LOL.)
