[pct-l] Anyone plan on starting slow?

[Michael Pinkus]

Hello All,
I'm a 43 year old guy who is a fairly experienced hiker. I'm concerned about cumulative damage. Is any of the Class of 2011 thinking of going slow the first weeks? Like 10mi the first week, 15mi the second and then up to the 20's? I'd love to hear your thoughts. As of today, I've parked my truck and will walk everywhere for everything until my start date of the 26th. 

cheers,
Mike
