So thanks for the inspiration, let's see how far we get Sounds good to me, we can meet at the Green Dragon and head out from there. 1 Quote Link to comment

TGP Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 the Castle of Durthang doesn't get a lot of coverage in the book; but meeting up with a crowd of orcs from this fortress on a road is one of frodo/sam's big trials. In morgul gear they were assumed to be foot soldiers and pushed far beyond their limits. I find the sparse text and the bleak description of their latter journey inspiring. often we are capable of so much more than we think we can do. this is my last update; until the moment when the quest is furfilled and the ring and frodo's finger finds its doom. I'm satisfied that the 7ish mile per day pace will bring the ring to its destruction by the End of the summer.... as for what then; lets not hasten the trip. its been quite the adventure! welcome to all that are now on the journey; I see even more hobbits are on the road. you Can do it! 4 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....

TGP Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 YAY I did it! JULY 25, 2018! from walking the Bleak winter woodlands at night, to a dedicated hiking training program (as much as I could squeeze into a middle aged modern lifestyle) and by Long hiking challenges -most notably in my attempt to Hike 100miles in 48 hours.... all of these were put together; measured and recorded by my faithful Polar pedometer. and this was all measured against an epic challenge; from the Start of 2018- to by the end of the year, to duplicate the lengthy fictional voyages of Frodo the hobbit and to walk 1779 miles to destroy the "one ring" and it is Done Today-Yay! and it didn't even take the whole Year! in fact, I've seen it done before the end of the summer and might get back mostways to shire by 2019. I'm happy as a took visiting the Green dragon Inn, I am ! .... Here's to the new King ARagorn and the downfall of a mighty evil!! 2 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....

TGP Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 Oh yeah. and Excuse me. but I swoon as the volcano goes crazy around me and nearly suffocates me in Sulfuric acid fumes. those Where-were-they-when-it-mattered birds are going to kindly safe our lives. no, I'm grateful in all... but WHY couldn't they have more available earlier? don't they realize how much EASIER they might have made the last many miles!??

IslandGirl_Becks Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 I think I'm going to hit Lothlorien today! If you were to eat something in the real world to celebrate your first bite of Lembas, what would it be? I have been trying to up my foot miles because of both things going on at home, and a hope that I can blast through an 18 mile hike in 1 day next month. The hike is in the North Cascades, which are currently fogged in by forest fire smoke (as most of the rest of the Western US is right now), but I'm really hoping to not have to put it off 'till next year.

charlomechfry Posted October 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 Hey all! I have been largely inactive on nerd fitness for quite a while now, outside of keeping the spreadsheet running for this forum. I wanted to offer the opportunity for more active users to be more involved. It has been awesome seeing so many of you keeping the forum active and adding to the story. I think it would make more sense for those more invested in the adventure and this forum to be the one to run the forum. I am also open to passing ownership of the spreadsheet to that person, in which they would be free to update or add any new ideas, if they choose. If no one is interested or able, I would be more than happy to continue to maintain the spreadsheet. I just can't promise much in terms of updates anytime soon. Let me know if you would be interested. Great job to all of you who continue on your journey to destroy the One Ring!! Hope to meet you on your travels one of these days! Quote Link to comment

TGP Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 actually, now that I think about it... if I want to keep tracking my mileage through 2019 in a shared google spreadsheet (like we have).. I (or someone) HAS to make a new 2019 spreadsheet. so... Yes! definitely!! it will still be a Thing in 2019. someone will make a new spreadsheet. I'll make sure of it. if you want to begin a new Mordor walk that would be a good time to start. ---- also if I read that right, @maegs has completed her walk all the way to Mountain and back, a little before halloween 2018. congrats! 2 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....

Congrats @maegs!! I am totally in for 2019!! With life as it is now, I probably won't make it there and back again as it will probably take the whole year just to get to Mordor, but what an AWESOME idea!! Thank you for building the spreadsheet, spearheading the coordination, spurring the imagination, and encouraging people to go out their door and step onto the road I'm really looking forward to this! 2 Quote My Epic Quest: Faith Conquers Fear Link to comment
