Mile 167. Fred and Sue, that is quite a makeover over at 90 West ... Congrats! Amazing what can be found, even on nights Tortoise has to push himself simply to finish on a minimum walk day. Time for sleep!
Cheerio!

Today's walk was 2.03 miles and had a 5.3 tortoise rating earned by climbing 84 feet in the 1.02 mile uphill portion. Average elevation was 3228. This walk burned 309 calories in 42:10 minutes, a truly tortoise-like pace of 20:46 minutes per mile.
Here are the overall stats so far for 2016:
167.94 miles walked, compared with Lou's goal for this date of 181.53 miles.
12,431 total feet climbed so far in 2016, compared to a year-to-date goal of 11,172. Lou hopes to climb more than the 61,316 feet he climbed in 2015 -- but in 16 minutes less each day than his 1:07:04 hour average in 2015. So far in 2016 Tortoise's walks have averaged 48:01 minutes each.
His average pace so far in 2016 has been 16:18 minutes per mile, slightly more tortoise like than his goal of 16:05 minutes per mile, but a noticeable difference from his 18:25 minute per mile pace in 2015.
Lou has walked 258 consecutive non-Sundays since his 8 missed days May 2-11, Overall he has walked on 361 of the 370 non-Sundays in 2015-16, a 97.57% 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 ...
"I have come to know that faith is a real power, not just an expression of belief. There are few things more powerful than the faithful prayers of a righteous mother."
The tortoise is smiling!
