Redoing this mission until I clear radio mode.

I’ve been feeling like death for a week and finally was able to get a workout on today.
I’m also a Lovecraft nerd.
I started this virtual mission the same time I started walking to Rivendale. Great site. Pick your beginning and end points and plug in the distance you travel each day while working out. Google maps and street view let you see where all that running would have gotten you.

So I’ve never denied being a nerd. Tonight, I am a proud nerd. I have finally done it. I have reached Rivendale. It took 108 days of walking, jogging and biking, but I’ve covered the 458 miles from Bag End to Rivendale.
And I’m about to start the long, 462 mile trek from RIvendale to Lothlorien. I’m expecting it to go much more quickly.
When I first began this journey, I was walking each night with Zombies, Run! I walked an hour a night in July for about three miles. In September, I was getting between 4-6 miles a night and walking between an hour and a hour and a half. In October, I started cycling at about six miles in 40 minutes. That’s now up to 10 miles in 45 minutes.
I’ve lost about 18 pounds along the way, but more importantly, I feel a lot better and have a lot more stamina and I feel a lot better about myself.
So I’m looking forward to the next part of the trip.
I haven’t fallen but I can’t get down.
I had a police jury meeting after work tonight and got home too late to walk. Instead of running from zoms, I took the stairs at the courthouse and threw in a quick exercise ladder when I got home.
This taught me two things:
1: Four flights of stairs make my calves burn more than a mile run or a four mile walk.
2: My cat thinks I’m pathetic. While I was doing pushups, she kept walking under my chest and arching her back to help me up.
