Mile 422. Tortoise did a short late evening walk up and down the hills of LaVerkin, accompanied by Shayne Bowen's thought ...
Cheerio!
Tonight's walk was 2.32 miles, done in 41:40 minutes at an average pace of 17:58 minutes per mile. This route had an average tortoise rating of 4.9, earned by climbing 143 feet in the 1.16 mile uphill portion. Average elevation was 3231.
Here are the overall stats so far for 2016:
422.60 miles walked, compared with Lou's goal for this date of 417.20.
29,660 total feet climbed so far in 2016, compared to a year-to-date goal of 25,676. 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 55:48 minutes each.
His average pace so far in 2016 has been 17:18 minutes per mile, compared with his 18:25 minute per mile pace in 2015.
Lou has walked 332 consecutive non-Sundays since his 8 missed days May 2-11, 2015. Overall he has walked on 435 of the 444 non-Sundays in 2015-16, a 97.97% consistency rating.
One step at a time can lead to great things!
And now for today's walking thought ...
"I would like to speak to those who have lost a child and have asked the question, 'Why me?' or maybe even questioned your own faith in a loving Father in Heaven. It is my prayer that by the power of the Holy Ghost, I may bring some measure of hope, of peace, and of understanding. It is my desire to be an instrument in bringing about a restoration of your faith in our loving Father in Heaven, who knows all things and allows us to experience trials so that we can come to know and love Him and understand that without Him we have nothing."
The tortoise is smiling!
