charlomechfry Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Walk to Mordor and Back Again All who dare step outside The Shire will likely encounter many nasty adventures. The journey is not for the faint of heart, as the typical traveler must endure years of commitment. There will be other brave souls making the trek, providing much welcomed support and company, but only you can put one foot in front of the other. The fate of Middle-Earth hangs in the balance... are you prepared to walk to Mordor to destroy the One Ring? Open the spreadsheet, click on the 'Sign Up' tab at the bottom of the page, fill in all fields labeled in yellow, and begin tracking and logging your distance in the appropriate monthly tab.

GolfCart34 Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 This is right up my alley. I'm training for a half marathon in October so I need some motivation to get out there. :-) Also, I'm going by CheekyNando for this challenge. Because why not have some fun?

Your over half way to Mordor!! I am hoping to start on my way to Rauros starting next month, but I am really gonna have to pump out the miles if I am gonna make it to Lothlorien by the end of this month. 1 Quote Link to comment
Ann of Owlshire Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 I've been trying to do this challenge for 10 years and always fall down on the tracking and then start over again later XD But the elves have given this hobbit a magic bracelet (aka my FitBit) that tracks it for me... so I'll give it another go as long-distance walking/hiking is my current challenge. Maybe with a Fellowship will be the time it sticks! 2 Quote Sometimes you have to wander to find your way home… 🇺🇸 Adventurer 🇬🇧 🌳🦉🌳 Epic Quest: Tales of Owlshire Link to comment
Jord Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 I totally forgot about this and don't really do much in the way of "distance" cardio anymore. But I'm going to try get this back on my radar. I'm only hiking/walking like 1-2 week anymore. But I can try to estimate distance based on time spent. Also, I used to be fitjulia, so you can change my name in the spreadsheet to Taddea Zhaan. Thank you! It was really weird to see that February was when I was tracking this last. I can't believe how time flies! I do probably need to start making walking a thing again.... #lifting #gainz Quote Jǫrð, Delvian Nomad - Level 12 { Battle Log } Link to comment

I just did a month and a half of updates at once and it was super easy thanks to the fitbit app. 2 Quote Battle Log Challenges: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 Fitbit, Epic Quest Character Link to comment

Even if you take some time off, my hope is that the spreadsheet will always be here to start up again.

It is always said that slow and steady wins the race right? Name change complete.

Welcome!! Glad that you can join us! Keep at it and you will be in Rivendell in no time. One of these days I will add additional destinations along the way, that way the distances do not seem quite so overwhelming. On 7/23/2016 at 10:15 AM, maegs said: I'm back!
