Mile 124. Two walks today. First one was a short loop near the office pictured above. The second was from the house up Main Street to the church and back. Total of both was 4.17 miles.

Cheerio!
Tortoise completed today's walks in 1:11:12 hours. Tortoise ratings of both were 5.6, based on a total of 108 feet climbed in the combined 2.09 mile uphill portion (average elevation 3229). 619 calories were burned along the way.
He was greeted by this surprise when he got home:
The Beehives love their advisor, as do I ...
Tortoise's walking map provider, www.mapmyfitness.com, has changed formats and the maps haven't transferred to this blog as well since. (Lou keeps trying without success.) Instead of embedding the map, let's try these links and see if that works better for you to see where he walked today:
And here are the overall stats so far for 2015:
124.97 miles walked, which is 12.47% of Lou's 2015 goal. On this day in 2014, Tortoise had walked 125.43 year-to-date miles.
37:22:42 hours walked, which is 11.94% of the 2015 goal (which is to walk 1 hour a day on the 313 days other than Sunday in the year)
5,783 total feet climbed, compared with 6,884 feet on this day in 2014.
18,624 calories burned
11.18% of the year has passed
Lou has walked 43 consecutive non-Sundays since his last missed day on December 22, and overall has walked on 333 of the 348 non-Sundays since the beginning of 2014, a 95.69% 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. (If you doubt this, compare Tortoise's 2013 walking record with 2014)
And now for today's walking thought, initially presented in October 1995:
"A return to Christ by an individual will bring peace of mind in place of turmoil, tranquillity to replace strife, courage and optimism in place of fear.
"This Christ-centered way of living is not only for individuals but for families, entire governments, and nations, and will bring about similar results"
