This walk was a quick night loop up LaVerkin's east hill while Lou's lady was helping with the Young Women. The walking thought has a charming personal example of the benefits of consistent, persistent, follow-up. It's worth clicking on the link to give it a listen ...
Cheerio!
Today's walk was 2.31 miles and had a 5.3 tortoise rating earned by climbing 99 feet in the 1.16 mile uphill portion. Average elevation was 3229. This walk burned 382 calories in 35:51 minutes, a pace of 15:31 minutes per mile.
Here are the overall stats so far for 2016:
10.13 miles walked which is 1.48% of Lou's 2016 goal of 683 miles. His goal for this date is 8.70 total miles.
2:55:42 hours walked which is 1.40% of the 2016 goal (which is to walk 40 minutes a day on the 314 days other than Sunday in the year).
602 total feet climbed in 2016, compared with his goal of 487 feet.
1,557 calories burned.
1.27% of the year has passed.
Lou has walked 205 consecutive non-Sundays since his 8 missed days May 2-11, Overall he has walked on 308 of the 317 non-Sundays in 2015-16, a 97.16% 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.
And now for today's walking thought ...
" ... no matter how good your message is, you may not get a chance to deliver it without consistent, persistent follow-up."
-- M. Russell Ballard, "Following Up", April 2014 LDS General Conference
The tortoise is smiling!
