I can usually maintain 2 mph unless the terrain/trail is really strenuous, then it kills me for the next day. I'm disappointed that I may not ever now be able to do some high and remote lakes off the PCT/JMT or see Amphitheater Lake area again. 8-10 mile days are good, but like Nancy, I pick out a destination, not how many miles I want to do each day. I'd like to do the JMT, but see my strength going downhill each year now, so not sure I could do it in two weeks. I don't care to eat a large lunch, most stuff I take does not appeal much anymore. If I could make myself take hourly breaks or at least every two hours, I might not be so tired. I'm afraid someone is going to get the last campsite if using trails. frown
