"When a child my mother taught me the legends of our people; taught me of the sun and
sky, the moon and stars, the clouds and storms. She also taught me to kneel and pray to
Usen for strength, health, wisdom, and protection. We never prayed against any person…
We were taught that Usen does not care for the petty quarrels of men."
Geronimo [Goyathlay] (1829-1909) Chircahua Apache

What is a cycle?
A cycle is the amount of distance we travel in a certain
amount of time.
We could run on a 5 day cycle, where we walk
approximately 30 miles each day for 4 days, then rest.
Day 1: Walk (cycle begins)
Day 2: Walk
Day 3: Walk
Day 4: Walk
Day 5: Rest (end of cycle)
![Page 30: The Trail of Broken Promises Walk](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052912/55a0e4df1a28ab10248b460b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
What if a cycle breaks?
If we are unable to walk one day because of the weather, or
we are held up for an event, we simply pause the cycle.
When we’re ready to hit the road again, we pick up where
we left off.
Day 1: Walk (cycle begins)
Day 2: Walk
Day 3: Rest/Storm (Pause cycle)
Day 4: Walk (Resume cycle)
Day 5: Walk
Day 6: Rest (end of cycle)
