Mile 534. All the pictures today were taken at the start. Lou may figure out how to put them together in a panorama yet ... It is interesting to see how much difference there is in the amount of light there is when looking in different directions from the same point!
This morning's walk was basically up Main Street again, but this time with five hills thrown in on the way up and back. The thought of the day was by Carole Stephens ...
Cheerio!
Today's walk was 3.71 miles, done in 1:03:06 hours at an average pace of 17:01 minutes per mile. This route had an average tortoise rating of 4.8, earned by climbing 259 feet in the 1.85 mile uphill portion. Average elevation was 3233.
Here are the overall stats so far for 2016:
534.90 miles walked, compared with Lou's goal for this date of 522.29.
36,274 total feet climbed so far in 2016, compared to a year-to-date goal of 32,144. 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 per day average in 2015. So far in 2016, Tortoise's walks have averaged 57:54 minutes each.
His average pace so far in 2016 has been 17:45 minutes per mile, compared with his 18:25 minute per mile pace in 2015.
Lou has walked 365 consecutive non-Sundays since his 8 missed days May 2-11, 2015. Overall he has walked on 468 of the 477 non-Sundays in 2015-16, a 98.113% consistency rating.
And now for today's walking thought ...
"It isn't enough to just be on the journey; we must be awake to our duty and continue with faith as we draw upon the comforting, strengthening, enabling, and healing power of the Atonement."
The tortoise is smiling!
