Rivendell of the evening

[annathepiper]

Tonight's music of choice: assorted Celtic ditties, courtesy of the Fables, Altan, Solas, the Irish Desendants, La Bottine Souriante, and Great Big Sea! There would also have been Heather Alexander if I'd opted for 40 minutes instead of 32, but I'd forgotten what all I had in my Celtic workout playlist, and I'd decided after GBS was done belting out the Fire in the Kitchen version of "Lukey" that 1.5 miles was enough.

In terms of the Walk, I'm out in the marshes out on my way to Weathertop. Wish I could talk that unkempt-yet-fetching-looking Ranger type into dumping those four short companions of his and escorting me on to Rivendell, but he brushed me off by looking all angsty-eyed about the sparkly trinket he's got on a chain around his neck, and babbling excuses about the Nazgul being after the short guy with another sparkly trinket on a chain. Humph. What IS it with the males in these parts and their sparkly trinkets, anyway?

Monday miles: 1.5
Miles out of Hobbiton: 180.9
Miles to Rivendell: 277.1

I'm doing what's called the Eowyn Challenge! It's a whole site that was founded to encourage folks to motivate themselves into exercising by providing extremely detailed charts of the mileage between bunches of different locations all throughout the LotR books as well as The Hobbit. I'd seen my friend mizkit doing this, and thought it was BEYOND COOL, and since I wanted to get back into exercising I decided to take it up. :)

I'm hoping to make it all the way to Rivendell by the end of the year.

You are most welcome! Not only is it geeky, it's a great way to track your exercise progress. Good luck!

Darned Middle Earth men and their sparkly trinkets! Better just hope those Nazgul pass you by, too...

You're making some serious progress to Rivendell!

Seriously. I mean, I asked the little guy if I could have a look at that gold ring he was carrying around, and he looked like I'd just asked if I could stab his puppy! Geez! What was up with THAT?!

Better just hope those Nazgul pass you by, too...

FUCKING Nazgul!

You're making some serious progress to Rivendell!

solarbird's numbers are looking better, but I'm quite pleased with mine! It's just like writing, a little bit every day eventually racks up. :)
