miles per day

[lmorris]

Hi Andrea,
        Interesting question, how many miles or K's to walk a day? I have often
wonder that as well. Right now, on my two days off a week I walk 30 K's
a day with a 5 kg pack and for the days that I work,  I walk 5 to 10
k's. I hope this will get me in shape for May when I will be walking the
Camino.
