Mines of Moria, or Snows of Caradhras?

[linaelyn]

Which way ought we to go? Which path will lead us to Lothlorien?



Well, because we're such intrepid adventurers, why not take the mountainous route, followed by the Long Dark!?!? I say, adding some snowboarding time in the mountains and some spelunking (and you can do that troll-hammering thing you do so well, ell) will be just the ticket to keep our running bodies healthfully exercised.

In other words... CHECK IN! I'll be tallying our distance and posting our progress on Sunday evening, May 25.

I am up to 181 miles for May so far! And 3 hours of core work assuming I do my exercises right now which I'm just about to do.

I love mountains but right now it is thunderstorming on mine, and I don't care to get hit by lightning...

[meri_oddities]

I'm at 85 miles. And 5 hours of activity.

[semielliptical]

25 more miles, for 60 total, and 3.5 more hours of activity, for 7.5 hours total.

I am somewhat frightened of both mountains and caves, but since we're such a congenial fellowship I am willing to give them a try!

[franzi1981]

16,7 km and 4 active hours.

- Edited to update it with today's run ;-)

[temve]

61.4 miles run, including today's run, and a nice round 20 hours of biking. Which is fortunate because I'm about to go on vacation and leave my bike at home... although there might be some kayaking or hiking that could be considered Other Activity. I'll be sure to watch out for monsters in Samaria Gorge!

Only 71 miles this month so far (I'm not going to make my goal :-( The marathon took more out of me than I thought and I've skipped 3 runs so far between this week and last. I'm probably a better person for it, though. If I can count our probably 18 km hike into Samaria Gorge next week as "running" miles, then I'll just make the month's goal...)

And as for other activity, 18 hours all together of biking, swimming, aikido, and sword swinging (4060 sword cuts this month, bring on the trolls!)

(Also, it is entirely possible that I have just put Lord of the Rings on the kindle for vacation reading. Not that I don't own a very nice hard cover box set, but those are big and this is portable. I blame you, linaelyn)

:-D

And general mountain hiking in prep for my Scottish hiking vacation!

Oh, wait, it's virtual…

Mileage: 24/35 mi

Active hours: 7/7 \o/

[linaelyn]

I've managed to play catch-up on my running this week, for a total of 63.3 miles this month so far. (I nearly doubled my total for the month in just over a week's time, GO ME!) My knees are starting to complain a bit, so I'll back off from the 10 miles on consecutive days and return to short-short-long for my running schedule.

No additional active hours this week, because I put all the effort into running. total of 7.5 for the month.

[ridicully]

I only did my half since the last check in, so 21km more for a total of 53km this month.
I did go hiking and climbing after though, so at least that's 5 more hours of active time.

[liv]

As of Friday: 18 miles of my 25 mile goal, 71% complete. Active hours: just over 15 of 30, 51%. I'm going to have to be super active the last week of the month to catch up.

[ilanarama]

How did it go?

[ridicully]

It went really well. Trail running!
