Mile 292. By the light of the beautiful full moon rising over the mesa, at 20:40 Tortoise embarked on his circuitous course up and down the hills near his home. Walking thought was by Jairo Mazzagardi ...
Cheerio!
Today's walk was 4.01 miles, done in 64:10 minutes at an average pace of 16:00 minutes per mile. This route had an average 4.8 tortoise rating earned by climbing 262 feet in the 2.01 mile uphill portion. Average elevation was 3253. This walk burned 660 calories. It was Lou's fifty-second 5k walk of the year.
Here are the overall stats so far for 2016:
292.82 miles walked, compared with Lou's goal for this date of 299.36 miles.
20,682 total feet climbed so far in 2016, compared to a year-to-date goal of 18,424. 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 51:02 minutes each.
His average pace so far in 2016 has been 16:23 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 295 consecutive non-Sundays since his 8 missed days May 2-11, Overall he has walked on 398 of the 407 non-Sundays in 2015-16, a 97.79% consistency rating.
One step at a time can lead to great things!
And now for today's walking thought ...
"In my heart an immense joy and peace calmed my soul. I was filled with gratitude.
"I now clearly understood why. One again the Lord had given me knowledge and light."
The tortoise is smiling!
