Yep. That sounds about right.

Ha ha. Just kidding. It's very individual, but I'd say if you can  
hike 10 miles with the pack you intend to carry and wake up the next  
day wanting to do it again, you're good to go. Of course, if you are  
planning to hike the whole trail by mid-August, you might want to be  
a bit more in shape than that.
