Hello everyone!!

Congrats to all on your achievements (and I see there have been many). I'm still on the Road. I reached Mt Doom on March 25th, the same day Frodo did (it was very cool though I had to push like mad for a couple of months to get there in time). I threw in my "ring" and starting walking out again. I didn't want to use the Eagle Emergency services since I wasn't in an emergency

. It's taken me AGES to walk the 100 miles out of Mordor. Over 2 months!! But finally I am out of that blasted land and heading to Minas Tirith for the coronation (thankfully they are waiting for me lol....maybe I"m the one getting crowned??). So far this leg I've been averaging just over a mile a day.....ah how the mighty have fallen!! (I was averaging a whopping (whopping to me!) 3.5 miles per day on the push to get to Mt Doom). And that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Nurumaiel, long time no see! Your new miles are really adding up, good job!

Welcome Farael! I hope it isn't the last we see of you! Keep adding up those half miles....you'll be surprised how well they do add up.

HerenIstarion, any walking is better than no walking. Congrats on passing Rivendell!!

Tuor, hang in there....the Anduin IS powerful boring but you'll really feel like you've achieved something when you're done. Congrats on your 1000th mile!!

Estelyn, congrats on your 3000th mile!! That's alot of miles

Elfearz, good job on trucking along! How's the Yahoo group doing? I haven't been there in months.

I'm glad to see some life on the board. Sparse though it may be, it's life! Happy trails everyone. Happy spring and upcoming summer too.

Good cheer, Anorial
