Mile 994. Tortoise began the first of three short walks today at the Riverside Trailhead in St. George. Both pictures were taken there, seconds apart. The difference was the angle of the camera with respect to the bright light of sunset.

Cheerio!
Today's walks totaled 2.34 miles, with 51 feet climbed in 36:06 minutes, giving it an overall average 5.8 tortoise rating. 384 calories were burned on these walks.
Here are the overall stats so far for 2014:
994.11 miles walked, which is 99.31% of my 2014 goal.
311:59:29 hours walked, which is 99.68% of my 2014 goal
48,448 total feet climbed
157,454 calories burned
96.49% of the year has passed
96.49% of the year has passed
I've walked 76 consecutive non-Sundays since my last missed day on September 20, and overall have walked on 289 of the 302 non-Sundays thus far in 2014, a 95.70% consistency rating.
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, initially presented in April 1994 ...
" ... obedience to these laws will help you to be better in everything you undertake in life, whether it be your activity in the Church, yourfamily, education, business, profession, science, athletics, or any other worthwhile endeavor. You will be a better son, a better brother, and a better friend. You will enjoy your life more; you will be happier and at peace with yourself because you will know that your life is acceptable to your Heavenly Father and His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ."
