City power plant with holiday cheer

Road construction approaches. Tortoise will turn left at that point.

Widening 600 North Street east of 200 West.  Will be nice.

2014 Stats:

949.85 miles walked, which is 94.89% of my 2014 goal.

299:27:53 hours walked, which is 95.68% of my 2014 goal

46,480 total feet climbed 

150,563 calories burned
91.69% of the year has passed

I've walked 61 consecutive non-Sundays since my last missed day on September 20, and overall have walked on 274 of the 287 non-Sundays thus far in 2014, a 95.47% consistency rating.

This is now Tortoise's longest consecutive days walked streak, passing the previous record of 60 accomplished between June 1 and August 9, 2014.

The purpose of the percentages is to have a higher percentage of distance and time walked than of the year. This tells Tortoise that he is on track. Yes, this is more numbers than you are likely interested in, all Tortoise can say is he's really good at setting high goals and having them slip away because he doesn't do them every, every day.

And now for today's walking thought, originally presented in October 1993:

"The atonement of the Son of God opened the possibility that all mankind could return to the presence of the Father. Now He teaches us, “Follow me, and do the things which ye have seen me do” (2 Ne. 31:12)"
