Mile 354. Another walk up the hill after work. This time the loop went down 200 West three blocks and east to Main before heading back up to 600 North for the return trip. The walking thought was by Dallin Oaks, the picture from the beginning of the walk shown above is for Benjamin ...
Today's walk was 3.64 miles, done in 58:36 minutes at an average pace of 16:06 minutes per mile. This route had an average 4.8 tortoise rating earned by climbing 244 feet in the 1.82 mile uphill portion. Average elevation was 3285. This walk burned 590 calories.
And now for today's walking thought ...
"God rarely infringes on the agency of any of His children by intervening against some for the relief of others. But he does ease the burdens of our afflictions and strengthen us to bear them, as He did for Alma's people in the land of Helam (see Mosiah 24:13-15). He does not prevent all disasters, but He does answer our prayers to turn them aside, as He did with the uniquely powerful cyclone that threatened to prevent the dedication of the temple in Fiji; or He does blunt their effects, as He did with the terrorist bombing that took so many lives in the Brussels airport but only injured our four missionaries."
Here are the overall stats so far for 2016:
354.55 miles walked, compared with Lou's goal for this date of 356.69 miles.
25,722 total feet climbed so far in 2016, compared to a year-to-date goal of 21,952. Lou hopes to climb more than the 61,316 feet he climbed in 2015 -- but in less time each day than his 1:07:04 hour average in 2015. So far in 2016 Tortoise's walks have averaged 52:50 minutes each.
His average pace so far in 2016 has been 16:41 minutes per mile, compared with his 18:25 minute per mile pace in 2015.
Lou has walked 313 consecutive non-Sundays since his 8 missed days May 2-11, Overall he has walked on 416 of the 425 non-Sundays in 2015-16, a 97.88% consistency rating.
One step at a time can lead to great things!
