This is so delightful! My friend Raquel is offering this PDF of a walking guide inspired by Pride and Prejudice. It’s basically a challenge to walk 125 miles in 90 days, which is the distance from Longbourn to Pemberley. Go get it here in etsy.

I’m so happy about this! I was already planning on doing a challenge of 15K steps a day for this new year. This challenge will make it so much more fun! Also, for months, I’ve also been wanting to do a girls’ night out party in January or February because Jane’s birthday was in December, and my December was crammed full with Christmas festivities. It wasn’t just any birthday, it was her 250th birthday!

So doing this challenge fits in with both those desires!

Here’s where it gets even better…you can get this 9 page PDF over here in etsy for only 50 cents, using the coupon code ELIZABETH. If you are a Jane fan, you will love it! Be sure to give it a good review in etsy so Raquel will feel motivated to make more luscious Jane Austen ephemera!

Here’s what you get in this elegant printable PDF:

-instructions for how to do the 90 day walking challenge

-a week-by-week and day-by-day guide for completing the challenge

-a tracking page for your progress

-gorgeous images of four of the residences that you will be starting from and”walking” to if you complete the challenge: Longbourne, Meryton, Netherfield, and Pemberly.

-a list of suggested viewing if you are walking on a treadmill or walking pad

-award ribbons to print and cut out to wear with honor as you complete each phase of the challenge

May I suggest a few audiobooks and videos to add to the mix?

Here we go…

-watch the 250th birthday party for Jane above, held in her hometown of Bath, England.

-you can find her books read aloud in YouTube. Look especially for P&P narrated by Jennifer Ehle, who played Lizzie in the best movie adaptation

I’m listening to the above book this month. It combines all of Jane’s characters into one book!

Above is a tour of Jane’s Home With Lucy Worsley.

This video below shows the backstory of the book above. A guidebook to all the places Jane lived and visited, it was created by three BYU students.

This video below shows the life of Jane Austen.

Then this video below shows things you might have missed in the BBC 1995 Pride and Prejudice.

Watch the one below to see what Jane Austen looked like.

Here are proposal scenes from six Austen couples.

Then here’s a modern day adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, filmed in good old Provo Utah. My cousin’s daughter, who is at BYU now, says she went through a phase in her tweens when she watched this regularly. I first watched it when I was postpartum with Baby #4 while eating Cafe Rio at home. for a babymoon married date night, with all the other kiddos gone. It’s silly and fun so watch it when you want lots of laughs.

Every Jane Austen Adaptation Ranked from Worst to Best is in the video below.

The video over here shows Susannah Harker, who played Jane Bennet in the 1995 P&P.

Then there’s this new series, Lost in Austen. Episode 1 is below. I haven’t watched it all yet so can’t vouch for wholesomeness but it looks promising.
