I think you turned yourself around and am now in or near The Shire. while the inhabitants a bit on the small side; there not good creatures to upset. I suggest you seek an inn immediately, quit trespassing on private roads and leave their mushrooms alone anyways. happy voyages 1 Quote https://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/116426-im-awake/ the "NEW" normal is good with me! as Life was Never really Normal anyways....

nianjufe Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 This week is just a penalty ridden mess. I may need a back up system to track my daily miles because I either don't wear or haven't charged and then wear my fitbit. Anyone have good phone options for tracking steps/miles during the day? I always have my phone on me since my job revolves around constant communication, so maybe an app for that?

Artemis Prime Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 Hello, fellow Middle Earth travelers! I just posted a new thread about starting my walk to Mordor on 9/1 and a kind soul pointed me in this direction so I thought I'd come say hi and sign up on the sheet.

Caius Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 This seems like a nice and interesting challenge to partake in. I often go ruck marching and mountain hiking (pre-corona days). I wonder if there is extra credit (or a multiplier) for wearing a heavy pack? Or is it simply total distance. Would walking to the store count? Steps around the house?

Ann of Owlshire Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 I restarted this journey back in May, currently about 550 miles in. This is just by walking and pottering about on my daily day. There’s an app on iOS called Walk to Mordor that I’ve been using to tally my mileage and milestones. 2 Quote “If you're reading this, you must be in dire need of a change.

The OP indicated that you could decide what counts for mileage. Personally, I just put in whatever mileage my FitBit reports at the end of the day because I’m all about keeping it simple. That is pottering around the house, errands, “rucking” my toddler, actual rambles and hikes, etc. 1 Quote “If you're reading this, you must be in dire need of a change.
