Decision about the AT
I’ve decided that instead of 100 miles in 2 weeks, I’m going to hike 50 miles in 1 week. I’ll be tramping the first half of the original 2 week plan. I can always go back and do the second half of the original plan at a later time, if I survive and enjoy the first experience.
I’ve got my route programmed into my gps, so there will be no guessing about distance or where I’d planned to sleep each night.

What part of the AT are you doing? 50 miles in a week sounds reasonable to me, it’s only 10 miles per day (if that’s a 5 day week) especially if you have your tent plan all made.
@Lady_Songbird - I’ll be hiking the northern half of the Shenandoah National Park between July 12-20.
