Demoralizing

[mikailborg]

I was feeling really good about the 17 miles I've walked this month, until I looked up a reference in the Atlas of Middle-Earth.

In one month's travel from Bag End to Rivendell, Frodo & Co. walked 450 miles!!!

Okay, they walked all day everyday, and were motivated by Black Riders on their tail. But still... I'm not quite so proud of myself.

Don't forget... being halflings their legs are shorter too... so they would probably take 2 steps or 1 1/2 for every 1 you take.

But to make you feel better... umm it's just a story... they didn't actually walk that far... you actually walked 17 miles. So you should still feel good.

Good point!

But I think now one of my long-term goals is to "walk to Rivendell", so to speak. That will give me a good goal after I'm comfortable walking more than five miles every week.
