Mile 171. Lou had a pleasant, meandering walk home from work this evening, accompanied by a walking thought by Dean Davies ...
Cheerio!
Today's walk was 3.45 miles and had a 5.0 tortoise rating earned by climbing 197 feet in the 1.73 mile uphill portion. Average elevation was 3257. This walk burned 547 calories in 55:46 minutes, a pace of 16:10 minutes per mile. It was Lou's twenty-third 5k walk of 2016.
Here are the overall stats so far for 2016:
171.39 miles walked, compared with Lou's goal for this date of 184.71 miles.
12,628 total feet climbed so far in 2016, compared to a year-to-date goal of 11,368. 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 48:09 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 259 consecutive non-Sundays since his 8 missed days May 2-11, Overall he has walked on 362 of the 371 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 ...
"Sharing our thoughts, feelings, and desires with God through sincere and heartfelt prayer should become to each of us as important and natural as breathing and eating."
-- Dean M. Davies, "A Sure Foundation", April 2013 LDS General Conference
The tortoise is smiling!
