Mile 329. Another late night walk, this one in LaVerkin starting at about 23:20. At least it didn't require an extension of the military clock! Walking thought was by Todd Christofferson ...
Cheerio!
Today's walk was 2.14 miles, done in 37:14 minutes at an average pace of 17:24 minutes per mile. This route had an average 5.5 tortoise rating earned by climbing 61 feet in the 1.07 mile uphill portion. Average elevation was 3221. This walk burned 320 calories.
And now for today's walking thought ...
"Some see the good of fatherhood in social terms, as something that obligates men to their offspring, impelling them to be good citizens and to think about the needs of others, supplementing 'maternal investment in children with paternal investment in children. ... In short, the key for men is to be fathers. The key for children is to have fathers. The key for society is to create fathers. (David Blankenhorn, "Fatherless America", pages 25,26) ' While these considerations are certainly true and important, we know that fatherhood is much more than a social construct or the product of evolution. The role of father is of divine origin ..."
Here are the overall stats so far for 2016:
329.11 miles walked, compared with Lou's goal for this date of 337.58 miles.
23,705 total feet climbed so far in 2016, compared to a year-to-date goal of 20,776. 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 51:22 minutes each.
His average pace so far in 2016 has been 16:33 minutes per mile, somewhat 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 307 consecutive non-Sundays since his 8 missed days May 2-11, Overall he has walked on 410 of the 419 non-Sundays in 2015-16, a 97.85% consistency rating.
One step at a time can lead to great things!
