Thanks for that information. Does anyone use a pedometer? Do the crazy things work, or is it just better to estimate miles? I've actually done a fair amount of walking in my life but never kept track of miles.

As the elves would say, both yes and no. It's almost impossible
to get one precisely right. I also tried using a car's speedometer, but
a better way, if available to you, is to use a trail marked out (there
are several in Southeast Pennsylvania- the Wissahickon and Pennypack
Creek walks- that have mileage by 1/2 and miles. You can get close
to accurate that way, but I also try to slightly understimate the
amount walked, rather then overestimate.
And has anyone had the courage to try to formulate a Walking
to (through?) Beleriand? It would, like the latter LOTR walk, be
broken up but, if possible to even generally calculate, would be
interesting, perhaps starting with the flight of the Noldor from
Aman through their initial encounters with Morgoth and the death
of that hothead Feanor.
