Mile 612. This evening's walk took Tortoise up the hill, then looped around to the Hilton Road Trail followed by small pieces of the Santa Clara River and Virgin River Trails, then back, finishing with another hill. Lots of sweat on this one, as it was still 100 degrees past 7 pm. Today's thought was by Ronald Rasband ...
Cheerio!
Various views from near today's turnaround point:
Today's walk was 3.63 miles, done in 1:04:33 hours at an average pace of 17:47 minutes per mile. This route had an average tortoise rating of 5.2, earned by climbing 203 feet in the 1.82 mile uphill portion. Average elevation was 2634.
Here are the overall stats so far for 2016:
612.37 miles walked, compared with Lou's goal for this date of 601.91.
42,322 total feet climbed so far in 2016, compared to a year-to-date goal of 37,044. 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 17:56.1 minutes per mile, compared with his 18:25 minute per mile pace in 2015.
Lou has walked 390 consecutive non-Sundays since his 8 missed days May 2-11, 2015. Overall he has walked on 493 of the 502 non-Sundays in 2015-16, a 98.207% consistency rating.
And now for today's walking thought:
"... it is my hope and prayer that we will continue to bear nobly our burdens and to reach out to those among us who are suffering and in need of being lifted and encouraged."
