Mile 605. Tortoise found some sparkly lights to brighten his late night walk around a couple of La Verkin's hills. He was accompanied by a Dieter Uchtdorf thought on mercy ...
Cheerio!
Today's walk was 2.29 miles, done in 43:13 minutes at an average pace of 18:52 minutes per mile. This route had an average tortoise rating of 5.0, earned by climbing 134 feet in the 1.15 mile uphill portion. Average elevation was 3216.
Here are the overall stats so far for 2016:
605.16 miles walked, compared with Lou's goal for this date of 595.54.
41,323 total feet climbed so far in 2016, compared to a year-to-date goal of 36,652. 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 57:53 minutes each.
His average pace so far in 2016 has been 17:53.1 minutes per mile, compared with his 18:25 minute per mile pace in 2015.
Lou has walked 388 consecutive non-Sundays since his 8 missed days May 2-11, 2015. Overall he has walked on 491 of the 500 non-Sundays in 2015-16, a 98.200% consistency rating.
And now for today's walking thought:
"May I add a footnote here? When the Lord requires that we forgive all men, that includes forgiving ourselves. Sometimes, of all the people in the world, the one who is hardest to forgive -- as well as the perhaps the one who is most in need of our forgiveness -- is the person looking back at us in the mirror."
