Running, kicked a rock, tripped, caught myself deep in stride, and kept running, not hardly missing a beat. So nothing cool unfortunately lol. Didn't hurt or even feel it at the time. I actually ran 12 more miles. Next day it was swollen a bit, and just never went away. Nothing painful or anything, just nagging. 3 weeks later I finally realized it was serious. Now I have 6 weeks in a boot and no marathon to show for it :-( All will be good though. I will make up for it when I am freed from this confounded contraption. I will make it back home to The Shire!! How is everyone holding up? I would almost trade the weather with some of you, with me being mostly grounded anyway. Because it has been REALLY super nice here in Phoenix lately! My daughter is loving it though, so sorry... *knock on wood* (things like this are probably what gets me in trouble, jinxing myself, and breaking things) 1 Quote Link to comment

mom2sjm Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 Yeah! My son is going to join me on my walk to mordor. We walk alot playing pokemon go and he's thinking about doing x-country next year as a freshman so I suggested that it might be interesting to see how long it would take him to get to mordor. I signed him up with my nerd fitness name/his name (mom2sjm/max). 2 Quote mom2sjm Rock Gnome Rebel Level 28 current challenge Link to comment

I likely won''t be running for at least another month. The foot turned out to be more of a problem that I thought. Great job to the rest of you! Keep racking up those miles!! 3 Quote Link to comment
Dav Ghtroc Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Hooray, other people walking to Mordor! (Thanks @maegs for pointing me to this thread!) I've been working on a capstone project for engineering school to develop an app to track your progress to these locations. It's currently in alpha testing, and hoping to have it out by late summer if all goes well. I've gotten the map directly from Emil over at the LotR Project site, and I'm working on figuring out what I can safely use under fair use versus what I need to get permissions (licensing?) for. Anyway, it's a work in progress, and I'm looking forward to getting it out for public use as soon as possible. Is this something that you all would use on your journeys? While I'm working on some (optional) gameplay mechanics, the point is to avoid the necessity of staring at the screen all the time a la Pokemon Go. I'd love to hear any thoughts you all have on this. P.S. Here's an early version of the main screen: 3 Quote Anyone not willing to risk being left behind? Link to comment
maegs Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Happy to help! I like the idea of having a visualization of your progress as you go. Something that I would like is if it synced with e.g. Fitbit, Strava, etc. so that you don't have to manually enter your steps/distance. I don't know how hard it is to do that though, or if any licensing/agreements would be required 1 Quote Current Challenge Goodreads|Instagram|Ravelry Link to comment

I don't know how hard it is to do that though, or if any licensing/agreements would be required I actually wrote to Fitbit requesting a device for project development, but they never got back to me. I'm fairly certain that most of those devices are open to application-syncing/use of an open-to-the-public software development kit so people can build software for their units, and that is on the table for later releases (we've discussed integrating with Google Fit, etc., as well). Haha, forgot to mention: this already does auto-logging. It currently pulls step-count data from the phone. I wanted this to be as simple and intuitive as possible and get rid of manual logging for everyone currently using spreadsheets. (Although, I must say, the one for this tracking is possibly the nicest spreadsheet version I've seen in my research of Walking to Mordor logging.) This is currently based on an average stride length, but we've discussed integrating other, more accurate ways to track. 1 Quote Anyone not willing to risk being left behind? Link to comment
Kalitraz Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 So I'm fairly new to NF but this look like just my thing! I love LotR, I've read the entire trilogy 9 times including once in German (Btw the german dubbing of the movies hit the voice for treebeard just right imo). I just started 7/1 and while it may not be the most impressive goal I think I'll be happy if I can stay consistent and make it to Rivendell by the end of the year or ideally by Dec 25 so I can set out with the fellowship. This will average out to about 2.3 miles a day. I think I can make that. I want to keep my start a little conservative, and then build on that. Also, one thing I want to do is keep track of my kayaking distance and use that towards the Lothlorien - Rauros Falls section. This may be the part that takes me the longest, but I'm curious to see how much watertime I can log for this. So any kayaking I do in the meantime I am going to set aside for that leg of the journey even if it is out of order. Water Distance to date - 1.5mi / 389mi 3 Quote Challenges: 1st [B-], 2nd [NA], (6 years away), 3rd[A-], 4th [B-], 5th [C], 6th [Current] Walk to Mordor - (spreadsheet) "Do the best you can, with what you have, where you are." - Theodore Roosevelt (Don't wait for the ideal circumstances, get to work NOW) The most important step a man can take.

mom2sjm Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Could someone check my numbers on the spreadsheet? My numbers for July and my totals overall match (1189.95 km) but the distance to my next destination don't match up. My total number shows 291.05 km to Lothlorien but on July it's showing -452.95 to Lothlorien. Thanks for fixing! The negative number is getting in my head Quote mom2sjm Rock Gnome Rebel Level 28 current challenge Link to comment

Mallorey Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 I just found this thread My girlfriend and I have been doing our own Walk to Mordor for a while, although we did occasionally go a month or so without updating... The link is my signature, I believe we are somewhere around a combined 700 miles. It's been good though, since we have a long distance relationship (Washington and France) it feels like we're doing something together! 2 Quote 4 Week Challenge 22.10.17 Walk to Mordor Progress 698/3664 Miles Link to comment
