Nurumaiel,

Hobbits and elves are both good at math. (Even Sam, who is really adept at estimating food supplies and the phases of the moon.) Just divide it out. 458 miles divided by (number of weeks left til Dec 17). To me that looks like roughly 33 weeks or so which would be 458/33 = 13.88, or call it fourteen miles per week: that's two miles per day every day.

My tactic is to do more than that daily (I do 3 or 4 or more) so that when I need a rest I can have one. I took this weekend off as my knees were starting to complain a little too much. Tomorrow morning, it's back to Mount Tom (Bombadil??) and the Troll Trail again!
