[at-l] Big miles and hikin' my own hike.

[Felix <AThiker@smithville.net>]

Before JipC left on her trip, she sent me her itinerary. I looked at her 
planned miles for the first week or so and thought "I go crazy (crazier) 
if I only did 7 miles a day for two weeks" Then I read Jason's (Is that 
the journal in question?) journal and thought " Thats exactly how I hiked 
that section" I am more comfortable doing 13-18 miles a day. I don't do 
it for any other reason than that is what I feel most comfortable doing. 
Not testosterone. Not what someone else thinks of me (I usually am 
alone). And not for the money. I don't think Jason was in anyway bragging 
or anything else. I agree with Rosie's suggestion to not be intimidated 
by someone elses miles, but don't slam Jason, or the rest of us, in doing 
it.

As far as hiking your own hike: What you consider to be your own hike 
will change several times on the trip. Do whatever feels right at the 
time. If there is someone you like hiking with, you'll change your pace 
to keep hiking with them. That has become your hike...

So, I sez to Lulu, I sez "You see those two dogs yonder?" Lulu perked her 
ears a bit and asked...
