The All Day Pace
When we’re hiking for Philmont, the slowest person leads a what is called the all day pace—a pace that the whole crew can comfortably maintain for the duration of the day. If you have a fast crew, the all day pace may be a truly comfortable pace, but for me it is hell… My normal pace is around twice the ‘all day pace’. Consequently, when I am forcedto walk the all day pace, I feel like a cyclist who is going just fast enough to avoid falling. ( Yes, I wobble like that too! ). The pace we walked on flat ground was depressingly slow. There were two times my legs didn’t hurt yesterday during our third Philmont shakedown; one of them was when I was leading and the other was when comrade Brian was leading ( Neither of us lasted long as leader. { we were fired. } ).
I started working on a new template today… Anyone who happend to visit this morning should have seen the beginnings. ( I’m actually altering this template drammatically. ) Well… umm.. This is actually the new theme now… It is very far from done, but I’m sure I’ll finish it before summer’s end. Edit: I just changed my mind and put the old one back.
