Can I get there by candlelight? Yes, and back again.

annathepiper, how many miles is it to Rivendell? I need to convert it into kilometres.

Mainly because I did three and a half this evening, rowing and jogging, and I think your idea rocks and I want to join you.

EDIT:

Kilometres done: 3.5
Kilometres to Rivendell: 729.3

Woot! Glad to have you aboard!

It's 458 miles to Rivendell. If you go look up on the EowynChallenge site and scroll down to the link that says something like 'original Walk to Rivendell' or something to that effect about halfway down, you can find links off to mile counts for all of the major legs of the travelling in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. I'll be going there soon to get my mile counter for the next leg, which is Rivendell->Lothlorien. :)

So 732.8 km. Whoo, that's a slog and a half.

*updates post*

Yeah, but it'll look like you're chugging through your numbers at a much more impressive rate than I'm doing mine, since your units are smaller! ;)

That's true!

My goal is to get an hour at the gym three times a week. I'm thinking Saturdays and after work - so Saturdays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. Half of that is doing weight work, and the rest is the rowing machine and the cross-country-skiing machine - hooray for low-impact stuff. (I have a knee which complains occasionally, occupational hazard of being a goalie since we twist them in ways knees really shouldn't be twisted).

Plus stretching, of course. It's important to stretch.

Sounds like a good plan to me! Go you for taking this on! :)

Hey that looks like fun!

[framlingem.livejournal.com]

The walk to Rivendell? It certainly does! Ask me in a couple of months whether it actually IS fun, though. ;)

It is a very long way. Do you have a deadline in mind for it?

[framlingem.livejournal.com]

Nope - I have a good idea of how long it _should_ take me, given 10.5 kilometres a week average (or planned average, at any rate - assume Christmas won't be so good, or exam periods) at the gym, but I don't have any particular deadlines.

Not like I've got a ring to destroy in order to save the world or anything ;)
