Mile 310. Today brought another answer to prayers for rain, so when Tortoise finished some errands in St. George, he picked a time when the rain let up, and a place he could retreat from quickly. Lou started his walk at the Sullivan Soccer Park in Washington and took the Virgin River Trail upstream from there. The walking thought was by Dieter Uchtdorf ...
Cheerio!
Here are the overall stats so far for 2016:
310.27 miles walked, compared with Lou's goal for this date of 315.29 miles.
22,053 total feet climbed so far in 2016, compared to a year-to-date goal of 19,404. 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 51:24 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 300 consecutive non-Sundays since his 8 missed days May 2-11, Overall he has walked on 403 of the 412 non-Sundays in 2015-16, a 97.82% consistency rating.
One step at a time can lead to great things!
And now for today's walking thought ...
"It may be a gradual work, but it doesn't have to be a cheerless one. In fact, at the risk of stating the obvious, divorce rarely happens when the husband and wife are happy.
"So be happy!
"And brethren, astonish your wife by doing things that make her happy."
The tortoise is smiling!
