Still very new to hiking here.... Just really started not quite a year ago (Nov - Up and back down Blood Mountain) and have done some local parks since then. (Stone Mountain, Kennesaw Mountain, Fall Creek Falls TN, Guntersville SP in AL). I mostly do short day hikes right now, my longest in a day so far is 12.2 miles at Kennesaw Mountain.
I notice that many of you list how many miles you've done (200 miler, etc.). My question is, do you track your mileage every time you hike and just keep a running tally, or do only the major trails count, or What constitutes clockable mileage on this site???
I am planning to do the GA section SOBO in late May, so I am trying to spend every weekend hiking no less than 10 miles per day and walking during the week, as I have a 9 to 5 office job and 2 kids to manage as well. My son plays football, so we walk the track around the field while he practices 3 nights a week. We can usually walk about 5 miles in an hour and a half.
