Mile 1,049. Tortoise walked the long way to the church for his ward's Christmas party, then decided that two miles was enough for this cold, windy day and did not walk back home afterwards. Walking thought is by Thomas S. Monson ...
Cheerio!
Today's walk was 2.10 miles and had a 4.6 tortoise rating earned by climbing 161 feet in the 1.05 mile uphill portion. Average elevation was 3229. This walk burned 327 calories in 34:46 minutes.
Here are the overall stats so far for 2015:
1,049.89 miles walked which is 104.78% of Lou's 2015 goal. On this day in 2014, Tortoise had walked 979.55 miles.
322:58:07 hours walked which is 103.18% of the 2015 goal (which is to walk 1 hour a day on the 313 days other than Sunday in the year).
57,856 total feet climbed, compared with 47,795 feet on this day in 2014.
157,782 calories burned.
94.89% of the year has passed.
Lou has walked 185 consecutive non-Sundays since his 8 missed days May 2-11, Overall he has walked on 288 of the 296 non-Sundays in 2015, a 96.97% consistency rating. This compares with 284 days walked in the same period in 2014 (a 95.62% consistency rating).
The purpose of the percentages is to have a higher percentage of both distance and of 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 walking record up until 2013 with 2014 or 2015 ... for him, it is what it takes to be consistent. He hopes you find what works for you).
And now for today's walking thought ...
"May we -- all of us, here and elsewhere -- be filled with the Spirit of the Lord and be uplifted and inspired as we listen and learn.
-- Thomas S. Monson, "Welcome to Conference", April 2014 LDS General Conference
The tortoise is smiling!
