well, the bottom line is this: regardless what you *plan* to do in the 
abstract world of pre-hike theorizing, once you get on the trail, you'll 
  end up doing what feels best. you may find that 20-25 mile days work 
for you, and you end up extending your trip by taking more zero days 
either in town or on the trail. if you've never done a long-distance 
hike like this, it's hard to guess for certain what's going to work for 
you. you just have to go and find out!
