While I have your attention, folks, I have a Fitday question. Are the

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.

With that in mind, I walked 2.4 miles this morning. The terrain was
hilly, and although allegedly a "road" only a third of it was paved.
The rest was gravel. Can I include it as a hike? :-)
