Mile 80. Tortoise enjoyed a nice view from the top of Skyline Drive (200 East) in St. George this evening on his way back down the steep hill. Tonight's walking thought is by Arnulfo Valenzuela ...
Cheerio!
Today's walk was 2.22 miles and had a 2.4 tortoise rating earned by climbing 445 feet in the 1.11 mile uphill portion. Average elevation was 2997. This walk burned 329 calories in 41:11 minutes, a pace of 18:33 minutes per mile.
Here are the overall stats so far for 2016:
80.71 miles walked which is 11.82% of Lou's 2016 goal of 683 miles. His goal for this date is 63.08 total miles.
21:36:21 hours walked which is 10.32% of the 2016 goal (which is to walk 40 minutes a day on the 314 days other than Sunday in the year).
6,406 total feet climbed in 2016. Wounded Duck has challenged Tortoise to climb more than the 61,316 feet climbed in 2015 -- but in 40 minutes, rather than an hour daily. To accomplish this, Tortoise needs to climb an average of 196 feet on each of the 314 walking days in 2016 ... assuming he misses no days at 6 days per week all 52 weeks (definitely quite an assumption!). But playing along with Wounded Duck, this would mean climbing 5,684 feet in the 29 walking days so far in 2016. So far, so good, but stay tuned. This is a tough goal.
13,041 calories burned.
9.24% of the year has passed.
Lou has walked 230 consecutive non-Sundays since his 8 missed days May 2-11, Overall he has walked on 333 of the 342 non-Sundays in 2015-16, a 97.37% 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 of course, he also wants to keep the Boredom Committee supplied with plenty of boring numbers so those good folks will be happy ...
And now for today's walking thought ...
"Let us reach out to others with faith and with love."

The tortoise is smiling!
