Walking to Mordor

High heat and/or humidity is my Achilles Heel. It's been as high as 90 in the afternoons here.
Tuesday and Wednesday I was up in Kentucky, and it was about 20 degrees cooler. Got a couple good runs in.

Dear lord. Those Hobbits walked FOREVER!! I've still got over 200 miles to go just to get to Rivendell...

I know, right?! No wonder most Hobbits never left the Shire, they probably didn't fancy all the walking needed to get somewhere interesting

Its kind of crazy to think that I used to make a journey that is as far as I've walked in the past 3 months at least once a week via car to get to somewhere interesting. How the world changes...

Cirestan! Congrats on reaching Rivendell! You've got the first leg of the journey done. Just a few more miles until the ring is destroyed.

While we were in London/Paris, we walked more than 10 miles per day! That did some nice things to my total distance. Here's my fitbit's weekly average since March. Which week did I travel? haha.

Woohoo, I've reached the Midgewater Marshes!

... no. Wait.

Nooooo I don't want to be in the Midgewater Marshes! I hate midges...

Sinus infection, cold, and whole body aches. Just in time for my race this weekend.

I can now vouch for the 'going on holiday'-method of putting in the necessary mileage! 45 km in three days, at a conservative estimate, which for each day is almost four times what I usually walk on a working day. And so, so, SO much climbing... I have calves of steel now.

Bulletproof calves of steel? Or just regular calves of steel?
