Mile 378. Tortoise tried a different way to quickly climb a hill in La Verkin ... drop down to the river in Confluence Park from State Street, then turn around and go back up. From there, continue walking wherever you like, in this case through Pheasant Glen and then across town on Center Street including its hill before looping back to complete the walk. The day's walking thought was by Christoffel Golden, Jr.
Cheerio!
Today's walk was 3.54 miles, done in 1:01:32 at an average pace of 17:23 minutes per mile. This route had an average tortoise rating of 5.0, earned by climbing 210 feet in the 1.77 mile uphill portion. Average elevation was 3200.
Here are the overall stats so far for 2016:
378.48 miles walked, compared with Lou's goal for this date of 375.80 miles.
27,697 total feet climbed so far in 2016, compared to a year-to-date goal of 23,128. 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 54:12 minutes each.
His average pace so far in 2016 has been 16:54 minutes per mile, compared with his 18:25 minute per mile pace in 2015.
Lou has walked 319 consecutive non-Sundays since his 8 missed days May 2-11, 2015. Overall he has walked on 422 of the 431 non-Sundays in 2015-16, a 97.91% consistency rating.
One step at a time can lead to great things!
And now for today's walking thought ...
"The Father and the Son are distinctly separate beings, but They are perfectly united and one in power and purpose. Their oneness is not reserved for Them alone; rather They desire this same oneness for everyone who will, with devotion, follow and obey Their commandments.
"How is the earnest seeker of God able to become acquainted with the Father and the Son? Our Savior promised, 'But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, ... shall teach you all things."
The Tortoise is smiling!
