Mile 565. The colorful sunrise clouds rising over the horse corral caught Tortoise's eye! The clouds were a treat throughout today's walk. A thought was provided by Dallin Oaks ...
Cheerio!
Today's walk was 3.70 miles, done in 1:03:38 hours at an average pace of 17:12 minutes per mile. This route had an average tortoise rating of 4.7, earned by climbing 264 feet in the 1.85 mile uphill portion. Average elevation was 3236.
Here are the overall stats so far for 2016:
565.91 miles walked, compared with Lou's goal for this date of 550.96.
38,526 total feet climbed so far in 2016, compared to a year-to-date goal of 33,908. 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 58:04 minutes each.
His average pace so far in 2016 has been 17:45.1 minutes per mile, compared with his 18:25 minute per mile pace in 2015.
Lou has walked 374 consecutive non-Sundays since his 8 missed days May 2-11, 2015. Overall he has walked on 477 of the 486 non-Sundays in 2015-16, a 98.148% consistency rating.
And now for today's walking thought ...
"Just as the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ is at the center of the plan of salvation, we followers of Christ must make our sacrifices to prepare for the destiny that plan provides for us."
The tortoise is smiling!
