I thought I'd pop in with an update!

It's been 117 miles since I left Rivendell.

You have walked 575 miles.
You have passed Misty Mountain Foothills.
It is 40 miles to the next landmark.
You have 347 miles to reach Caras Galadon.

Hi everyone! I'm still paddling down the Anduin and had some time to stop in. Pretty quiet in here!

Estelyn, I clicked on your blog link....if books were drinks, what would they be? Interesting! I shall ponder it on my walk this afternoon but my first reaction would be coffee! I have a somewhat dramatic off and on again affair going on with coffee but I find it a celebration, bracing, and a boon companion, all of which books can be

How are those walking sticks working out for you? Any difference noticed?

Anyway, I hope y'all are doing well.

Cheers, Anorial
1030 miles (does this darn river ever end?)

Hi, Anoriel and elfearz! It's nice to have you checking in and to hear that you're still walking! No, I can't say that I've really noticed any difference walking with the "ski poles", so I'll just have to take the experts' word on the additional benefits...

By the way, the current "Crazy Captions" picture inspired me to use a Rivendell walkers caption - you can see it here.

Hi again, Anorial! You're doing well! Yes, I'm still walking, though this thread has faded somewhat from its former glory, as has the original Éowyn Challenge site. I assume it's still functioning, though I haven't checked in for awhile. I should update my mileage and see how many shields I have now...

I havent been walking much lately, but next semester I am taking a power walking class for PE credit yay!

Estelyn, yes the Eowyn site is still working. There's a new Milestones page and a new Visitors page that maps the last 500 visitors by ISP address. It's very cool. The TORC site has gotten quite quiet too but the Yahoo site is booming....almost too much for some people

. Elfearz (hi!!) has migrated over there as well.

Cheers! Anorial
