As for [@Gordian Nought]'s question regarding a short rest... I don't think one can rest on a march for an hour, can they? After all, you are actively doing something. I'm not stopping you from taking one now, but that's another hour spent.

No, marching does not count as a rest action. Reading a book or sitting at an inn drinking and chatting does though, so take that as you will.
