Milestones 0-18
Day 2
28 Miles
Milestones 18-46
For those participating from other countries, I created the first 50 KM award. After that, I switched to miles, so the next would be 70 KM. (Just about 50 Miles). Since we only do the challenge on Kindspring.org for 21 days, most people are able to walk between 50-70 km in three weeks. Some (like me) a lot less, and some much, much more! The company is always grand. No matter our pace or where we are on Earth (or Middle-earth), we still get to talk daily. It’s quite magical! ♡
MILESTONE 50 KM AWARD (Milestone 32)
“For the past few miles, the road looked like it was fairly straight and level, but when I look back I see the meandering way it turns. (Later) Nazgul!”

MILESTONE 100 AWARD
(Milestone 98)
“We’ve reached Tom Bombadil’s house. The stars are out. The strangest thing happened. Tom knows all about us. He even tried on the Ring, but it didn’t change him at all. It didn’t even make him invisible! Mr. Frodo tried on the ring then to see if it was still working, and Tom Bombadil could see him even though Mr. Frodo was invisible to the rest of us…”
