Default Misery! - Continuing Adventures of the Hiking Historian

While I have your attention, folks, I have a Fitday question. Are the
suggestions for calories burned considered accurate, or excessively
high? Fitday suggests I burned a thousand calories in my two hours or
so of hiking. Even with all the climbing, that seems high.

Oh, and any advice on sore quads? :-)

Have you compared the Fitday numbers with www.caloriesperhour.com ?
I've only compared cycling calories and they are very close between the two
sites.

Sorry - no advice for the sore quads except a day or two of rest and then
try it again! Gentle exercise of the sore muscles often helps me.
