Mile 332. It is Tortoise's 38th wedding anniversary, the night his sweet lady was planning to return from helping our daughter and her family at the birth of their daughter Leah. But, they are accepting a new job and will be moving from Florida back to Utah, so ... Willyne is staying a little longer to help them with the move, and you will get some magical mystery walks as Tortoise joins them to help with their drive across the country later this month.
This evening's walk is the classic walk up the hill from the office; the walking thought is by Quentin Cook ...
Cheerio!
Today's walk was 3.24 miles, done in 57:42 minutes at an average pace of 17:49 minutes per mile. This route had an average 4.8 tortoise rating earned by climbing 218 feet in the 1.26 mile uphill portion. Average elevation was 3285. This walk burned 484 calories.
And now for today's walking thought ...
"... This includes being willing to forgive ourselves and not focus on our imperfections or sins as disqualifying us from ever entering a sacred temple.
Here are the overall stats so far for 2016:
332.35 miles walked, compared with Lou's goal for this date of 340.76 miles.
23,923 total feet climbed so far in 2016, compared to a year-to-date goal of 20,972. 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 51:25 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 308 consecutive non-Sundays since his 8 missed days May 2-11, Overall he has walked on 411 of the 420 non-Sundays in 2015-16, a 97.86% consistency rating.
One step at a time can lead to great things!
And now for today's walking thought ...
"... This includes being willing to forgive ourselves and not focus on our imperfections or sins as disqualifying us from ever entering a sacred temple.
"The Savior's Atonement was accomplished for all of God's children. His redeeming sacrifice satisfies the demands of justice for all those who truly repent. The scriptures describe this in a most beautiful fashion:
'Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.' (Isaiah 1:18)
'And I will remember [them] no more.' (Jeremiah 31:34)
"We assure you that living righteous principles will bring you and your family happiness, fulfillment, and peace."
The Tortoise is smiling!
