Its not too bad Pepper. I did my first floor last year in less than a day. The trick I discovered (after a few early missteps!) is to keep a slow and steady pace with the belt sander. Never, ever stop the machine with the belt moving or you'll end up with a nasty gouge that takes forever to sand out. Once you get the hang of it, its about as easy as mowing the lawn. The edger is harder to work and you'll probably need a few ibuprofin for your back when all is said and done.
Having said all this, the real fun comes when you poly. Its an absolute nightmare- poly, sand, vaccuum, and repeat. One sticky, smelly, grueling job!
