Getting ready for a trial run

I'm going to do a "shakedown" trip during my spring break. My itinerary is:
Day 1: Drop off at Weldon Spring, hike 11 miles to Augusta, camp for the night.
Day 2: Hike from Augusta to Marthasville, camp for the night.
Day 3: Back to Augusta.
Day 4: On to Green Bottom
Day 5: Green Bottom to Machens (if time permits)
This should give me a good idea of what to expect. The mileage will increase each day for conditioning purposes. Granted my pack will be heavier than it will be in June because I have to pack warm clothes but it's the education I'm after.
