[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

Last night I did four miles with my friends as we walked about waiting for people to go away from the school so we could climb onto the roof. We eventually did it, and then we almost got caught by one guy. In doing so, we had to crawl army-style back to our hiding spot. To add to our uncomfortableness, the roof was extremely rough and scrapy and it had rained HARD the previous night and the night before that. So by the time we got to our hiding spot, we looked like we had gone wading. Lovely.

Yesterday we walked 6 miles! I congratulated us all on a job well done. The last time we walked that much was when we got out of Bree, and that was for fear of the Black Riders. We are now approximately three miles from the Midgewater Marshes, and we are all dreading the crossing. But maybe I'll rub sugar water on the others while they're sleeping so I won't be bothered as much. Heh heh heh...
