Walk To Rivendell" aka "The Eowyn Challenge"

[Neferchoirwen]

They spent a miserable day in this lonely and unpleasant country. Their camping-place was damp, cold, and uncomfortable; and the biting insects would not let them sleep. There were also abominable creatures haunting the reeds and tussocks that from the sound of them were evil relatives of the cricket. There were thousands of them, and they squeaked all round, neek-breek, breek-neek, unceasingly all the night, until the hobbits were nearly frantic.

The weather's been nasty, with the typhoon and all, and the a/c at work has just been working just fine---at the cost of my poor nose---caught a sore throat yesterday, and I feel really bad.

I haven't been walking lately, save for a mile on the elliptical, and a walk all around the mall with my brother last night.

And bit of confession: the family had a buffet dinner last night---one that crosses over three restaurants...I am gaining rotundity, but I've been having buttered hot corn *erp* and salad for lunch everyday (I skip rice as much as possible for lunch--we're Asian [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img])

But my goal on the elliptical is 5 miles a day...Weathertop, here I come.
