When a book chooses you

Photo by D A V I D S O N L U N A on Unsplash It began as just a regular bimble, nothing unusual. Then we bumped into a friend from church, who was running, which was unusual for him, especially when he said where he was running to. He was running to Mordor. Yes, that really is what he said, and no, he's not been delusional. In fact, I've started running there myself too. Let me explain... We've taken on a virtual quest through a company called The Conqueror. You can go anywhere. From John O Groats to Kilimanjaro. From the Great Wall of China to The South Downs Way. And you get medals too! An excellent added motivation to exercise. And with 1,1067k to go before my next medal, I'm going to need that motivation! And what else will help with motivation? The book. Of course! As I began this challenge, I decided it would make total sense to read the novel. I read the Hobbit, a few years ago and it took me ages. It was a bedside book, so I only read a few pages at a time
