Mile 550. Lou is walking down the 320 East hill in La Verkin at about the halfway point of this pleasant morning's walk, accompanied by a thought by Thomas Monson ...
Cheerio!
Today's walk was 3.69 miles, done in 1:02:35 hours at an average pace of 16:58 minutes per mile. This route had an average tortoise rating of 4.7, earned by climbing 259 feet in the 1.84 mile uphill portion. Average elevation was 3236.
Here are the overall stats so far for 2016:
550.14 miles walked, compared with Lou's goal for this date of 535.03.
37,320 total feet climbed so far in 2016, compared to a year-to-date goal of 32,928. 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 58:05 minutes each.
His average pace so far in 2016 has been 17:44.3 minutes per mile, compared with his 18:25 minute per mile pace in 2015.
Lou has walked 369 consecutive non-Sundays since his 8 missed days May 2-11, 2015. Overall he has walked on 472 of the 481 non-Sundays in 2015-16, a 98.129% consistency rating.
And now for today's walking thought ...
"There is much that is difficult and challenging in the world today, my brothers and sisters, but there is also much that is good and uplifting. As we declare in our thirteenth article of faith, 'If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.' May we ever continue to do so."
The tortoise is smiling!
