Mile 435. Water the garden. (Thanks, Sharon!) Check. Walk up and down various La Verkin hills. Check. OK! Tortoise is ready to go this fine Monday morning! Walking thought was provided by Russell Ballard ...
Cheerio!
Today's walk was 3.50 miles, done in 59:15 minutes at an average pace of 16:56 minutes per mile. This route had an average tortoise rating of 4.7, earned by climbing 255 feet in the 1.75 mile uphill portion. Average elevation was 3245.
Weigh-in: 224.1, a 1.5 pound decrease compared with Lou's last weigh-in on April 27.
Here are the overall stats so far for 2016:
435.73 miles walked, compared with Lou's goal for this date of 429.94.
30,496 total feet climbed so far in 2016, compared to a year-to-date goal of 26,460. 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 55:59 minutes each.
His average pace so far in 2016 has been 17:21 minutes per mile, compared with his 18:25 minute per mile pace in 2015.
Lou has walked 336 consecutive non-Sundays since his 8 missed days May 2-11, 2015. Overall he has walked on 439 of the 448 non-Sundays in 2015-16, a 97.991% consistency rating.
One step at a time can lead to great things!
And now for today's walking thought ...
"The Savior's words are simple, yet their meaning is profound and deeply significant. We are to love God and to love and care for our neighbors as ourselves. Imagine what good we can do in the world if we all join together, united as followers of Christ, anxiously and busily responding to the needs of others and serving those around us -- our families, our friends, our neighbors, our fellow citizens."
The tortoise is smiling!
