Mile 741. Good evening to you from Stout Memorial Park, a fun place for you to play, especially with children or animals! The weather has improved greatly today, so Tortoise enjoyed a most excellent walk through the neighborhood, including a couple nooks and crannies not previously traversed (such as the aforementioned park). Please join Lou on the other side by clicking below to continue reading ...
Cheerio!

| A nice play area, with a view of East Cinder Knoll |

| The park is high, affording it nice views of the surrounding terrain, near and far |

| See the little hook just above the mile 3 marker? That's the park. |
Here are the overall stats so far for 2015:
741.64 miles walked, which is 74.02% of Lou's 2015 goal. On this day in 2014, Tortoise had walked 739.22 year-to-date miles.
226:54:34 hours walked, which is 72.50% of the 2015 goal (which is to walk 1 hour a day on the 313 days other than Sunday in the year)
38,176 total feet climbed, compared with 35,395 feet on this day in 2014.
111,193 calories burned.
70.93% of the year has passed.
Lou has walked 110 consecutive non-Sundays since his 8 missed days May 2-11. Overall he has walked on 213 of the 222 non-Sundays in 2015, a 95.95% consistency rating. This compares with 210 days walked in the same period in 2014 (a 94.59% 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 ... for him, it is what it takes to be consistent. And Tortoise feels much more vibrant when he is consistent. He hopes you find what works for you)
And now for today's walking thought by Chi Hong (Sam) Wong ...
"In order to assist the Savior, we have to work together in unity and in harmony. Everyone, every position, and every calling is important. We have to be united in our Lord Jesus Christ.
"Finally, the sick, palsied man was laid before Jesus. 'When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.' (Mark 2:5) Jesus showed mercy on him and healed him--not only physically but also spiritually: 'Son, they sins be forgiven thee.' Isn't that wonderful? Wouldn't we like that to happen to all of us too? Certainly I would."
