Walk to Rivendell: The Eowyn Challenge

[pegkerr]

I find this semi-hilarious, but actually perhaps not a bad idea. Gacked from theonering_net. This is an online group of LOTR fans who have hit upon a novel way to get fit--by sharing a commitment to walk as far as Rivendell. More. Anyone can join.

What a great idea!

I like walking very much, and I've been thinking of signing up to walk a half-marathon in October this year. This sounds like it could be good training, or at least a good incentive to train.

I've decided I'm going to do it

I've already been working out for a couple of years, so I keep a daily workout log. I've been doing aerobic dance and step, but my knees have been showing signs of strain, and so I've been thinking anyway I need to mix up my routine with walking. There's a little lake by my home I can walk around, and it's getting light enough in the morning when I get up (5:15 a.m., groan) that walking around tha lake is doable. I bought my pedometer yesterday. I'll probably issue an "Eowyn report" once a week to let people know how close I am to the goal.

Cheers,
Peg

Me too.

Congratulations!

I think the biggest challenge for me is going to be keeping the records.
