I think american miles fall short---I prefer the Norwegian miles, defined as 10km. They're based on an older unit of measurement called a "rest", which was the same as 1mi back in those days, almost 10km. It was called a rest because 1re (1mi, 10km) was the distance people would walk before taking a rest.
