Mile 573. Office moving day. After over 15 years in the same location, Tortoise's office is moving a couple miles west to new quarters. As they say, "adventure is out there", so off he is going to find it!
It was still quite warm close to 10 pm, when Lou called it a day at the office and started walking up the hill before heading home. This evening's walking thought was by Jeffrey Holland ...
Cheerio!
Today's walk was 3.25 miles, done in 56:40 minutes at an average pace of 17:26 minutes per mile. This route had an average tortoise rating of 4.6, earned by climbing 255 feet in the 1.63 mile uphill portion. Average elevation was 3285.
Here are the overall stats so far for 2016:
573.11 miles walked, compared with Lou's goal for this date of 557.32.
39,107 total feet climbed so far in 2016, compared to a year-to-date goal of 34,300. 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 58:09 minutes each.
His average pace so far in 2016 has been 17:45.3 minutes per mile, compared with his 18:25 minute per mile pace in 2015.
Lou has walked 376 consecutive non-Sundays since his 8 missed days May 2-11, 2015. Overall he has walked on 479 of the 488 non-Sundays in 2015-16, a 98.156% consistency rating.
And now for today's walking thought ...
"I testify of the renewing power of God's love and the miracle of His grace. His concern is for the faith at which you finally arrive, not the hour of the day in which you got there."
The tortoise is smiling!
