Mile 575. Nothing like a hometown Pioneer Day parade to bring out folks for a pancake breakfast and water games on a warm morning! Tortoise walked to the parade start, then up the hill and over to Wanlass Park to the activities there, and then back home. A thought was provided by Robert Hales ...
Cheerio!

Today's walk was 2.44 miles, done in 51:41 minutes at an average pace of 21:11 minutes per mile. This route had an average tortoise rating of 5.4, earned by climbing 92 feet in the 1.22 mile uphill portion. Average elevation was 3222.
Here are the overall stats so far for 2016:
575.55 miles walked, compared with Lou's goal for this date of 560.51.
39,199 total feet climbed so far in 2016, compared to a year-to-date goal of 34,496. 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 58:07 minutes each.
His average pace so far in 2016 has been 17:46.2 minutes per mile, compared with his 18:25 minute per mile pace in 2015.
Lou has walked 377 consecutive non-Sundays since his 8 missed days May 2-11, 2015. Overall he has walked on 480 of the 489 non-Sundays in 2015-16, a 98.160% consistency rating.
And now for today's walking thought ...
"Whether we are young or old, what we do today determines the service we will be able to render and enjoy tomorrow. As the poet [John Greenleaf Whittier] reminds us, 'Of all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are these: 'It might have been.' Let us not live our lives in regret of what we did or did not do."
