Mile 282. The LaVerkin bridge welcomed Tortoise home tonight as he completed his fiftieth 5k walk thus far in 2016. It was late, the walk home started at 23:59. At least Lou walked on this year's edition of April 15. It remains to be seen what he does when this year's biggest tax filing day hits on Monday. Tonight's walking thought was by Ronald Rasband ...
Cheerio!
Today's walk was 3.59 miles, done in 55:37 minutes at an average pace of 15:30 minutes per mile. This route had an average 5.0 tortoise rating earned by climbing 208 feet in the 1.80 mile uphill portion. Average elevation was 3285. This walk burned 601 calories.
Here are the overall stats so far for 2016:
282.14 miles walked, compared with Lou's goal for this date of 289.81 miles.
20,050 total feet climbed so far in 2016, compared to a year-to-date goal of 17,836. 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 50:52 minutes each.
His average pace so far in 2016 has been 16:24 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 292 consecutive non-Sundays since his 8 missed days May 2-11, Overall he has walked on 395 of the 404 non-Sundays in 2015-16, a 97.78% consistency rating.
One step at a time can lead to great things!
And now for today's walking thought ...
"There is a destiny that makes us brothers:
[No one] goes his way alone:
All that we send into the lives of others
Comes back into our own."
The tortoise is smiling!
