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.

Ok, some points here

• You walked seventeen miles man!


• You're depressed because fictional characters who could just as easily have walked 1450 miles with a simple tick of a pen walked more than you did,


• You walked seventeen miles man!


• Even if lotr was an accurate historical account, the hobbits walk everywhere, every day, and did a lot of physical labor. 450 miles to them is probably 40 miles to you.

Ok -- no more atlases for you when you're tired. :)
