    They like keeping busy! Seriously though you’re presumably already a pretty active person if you can one day just decide to go for a hike to the other side of the world.

      They didn’t do it in one shot though. They went to Fatty Bolger’s place first, then to Tom Bombadil’s, Bree, and Rivendell. I imagine that they gradually improved their strength and stamina with each leg of the journey. Frodo’s initial task was just to get The Ring to Rivendell, after all.

        Frodo’s initial task was just to get The Ring to Rivendell, after all.

        (Smash cut to Frodo and Sam clawing their way up Mt. Doom)

        " 'Ah, just take the Ring to Rivendell and I’ll catch up with ya! ’ he said.

        'Elrond’s pretty sharp he’ll know what to do!’ he said.

        ‘It’ll be an aDvEnTuRe!’ he said!"
