The Eowyn Challenge, Week 2

[samyazaz]

I walked about 19 miles this week. --Actually, I walked more than that. I forgot my pedometer at home one day this week. After a fair amount of wailing and gnashing of teeth and trying to figure out ways to game the system, I decided that if/when that happens, I'm just going to have to deal with the loss of those steps. I could have manually added the ~4 miles to FitBit's total distance, to compensate for it, but then I'd have to do that forever. And that kind of defeats the purpose of having the pedometer manage all that for me. Suddenly, I'm back to having to keep track of things myself again!

So, I'm not counting those steps. This week's distance brings me to a total of 46.23 miles. I've reached Woody End, a green floor in the wood roofed by boughs of trees, with a view that overlooks the river valley and the lights of Woodhall. In the three weeks I've had my pedometer, I've made it the place where the hobbits made camp at the end of their second night. XD

Also, apparently we are traveling with the elves now! Whoot!

I am really looking forward to crossing the 50-mile threshhold.

God, that is SO much walking. I have a super-sedentary desk job and then I come home and sit on the computer some more. You are GOING PLACES! I'd probably still be at Sam's house or something.

I haven't been at my normal work schedule the last couple weeks so I actually have been going out for walks more. Sometimes it's hard to get myself out the door but it's been lovely listening to podcasts and podfics and Les Miserables and getting to know my neighborhood a little better.

I would be so pissed if I left my pedometer at home for a day. I admire your grace in giving up those 4 miles!
