Our Walking Journey

OK so we had 11.75km left in this leg, that's the last view of Hobbiton. On Wednesday we walked 2.18km and on Thursday we walked 2.36km. That leaves us with 7.21km. Good thing that Frodo doesn't have to wait for us!

I've Been a Little Behind

We started this week needing 1.48km to finish our first leg of our journey. Yesterday, we managed .79km leaving .69km to go. This morning we were able to go 2.94km on our walk. So we were able to get 2.25km on our next leg of the journey which is the last view of Hobbiton.



Hopefully we can keep adding to our journey. It would be my luck that just as I set up something as cool as this journey for motivation that I miss more days of walking than I have since I started. Sigh. But, with 11.75km to go in this leg, there will be no more slacking.

Almost to the Brandywine Bridge!

Well, our trek missed one day, because yesterday I was recovering from what I can only assume was heat exhaustion. So, our first leg has 8km in it if you'll remember. And the first day we put in 3.88km. Today we managed 2.64km. I have an awesome program that I am using to measure my distance, and will hopefully show some screen shots, when it works the way I want it to. ;-)

So, we have 1.48km to go and I am sure we'll hit that tomorrow and get going on the next leg, for our last view of Hobbiton.

On the Road to Brandywine Bridge

Well, we officially left "The Shire" this afternoon. It was 98d.



No, Gandalf wasn't with us, but hey this is a good picture. According to our document there is 8km in our first leg. We traveled 3.88km today. It was not fun, or pretty. But we did it. More tomorrow!

One Does Not Simply Walk Into Mordor

Ah so, I'm a geek. I just recently re-read the Lord of the Rings books. I am working on exercising more, and am doing this with a daily walk. So, I've been wanting to do something kind of fun with my walk, and thought about measuring a distance from here to Disney World or something, but thought this would be more fun, as I remembered reading a blog post about it before. So, then I decided, before trying to do a map or something myself, that I would use my best Internet friend: Google. And, I found some great stuff!!!

I am doing this challenge because he already did all the work for me. Including some handy dandy documents. There are links for maps if you want to mark it down on a map even! So neat. And of course you can always use Google Maps.



So, now I just need to remember how to convert miles to kilometers...oh wait, I have Google! Ha! So, everyday I will do at least one post to let you know how much closer to Mordor I am, and how the boys are doing in their stroller for the trip. ;-) Just think if Samwise and Frodo had to push whiney toddlers or babies. Yikes!
