I would walk, but me and pedometers just don't agree with each other.

I mean I would walk anyways (try not to...), but without measuring. I suppose I can use google maps to measure out my long trips, but what about, you know, up and down the school hall?

Funnily enough, I thought of this just a few days ago. I am tempted to take part.

I guess I will try to revive my measurement habits (unless I forget and if I manage to locate my old pedometer ) to walk with Bilbo
Oh, it would be great to see you walking again for this! My old pedometer has been lost to the mists of time, but my family will shortly be investing in new ones.

P.S. It's nice to see you again, Heren.

I will have to Google Maps my walk today to measure how far I went. You should invest in a new pedometer. The last time I checked, they weren't very expensive.

You should. Then you can be Fili, or was it Kili that you wanted to be? I always forget. I am going to be Bilbo in this party. Brother will probably be Bombur, because he thinks that Bombur is the most hilarious.

Anyone want to join our company of dwarves? I am only four or so miles in, and I would love some Downer company for this.

I feel like I should link my facebook posts with here, but as I stated on FB, I would be Gandalf so I would show up some times, but when I do I am saving your lives.

I'm still counting miles after all these years, though I've been to Mordor and back several times, I'm sure. I usually forget to update on the Éowyn Challenge site - I'll check to see if it's still working.

Yup! Just updated my miles (6250 now). Here's the site: Éowyn Challenge
Newcomers should be able to register to the Barrow-Downs group - we have lovely black shields!
