Mile 615. Lou finished his work day a little early at 4 pm, when he got his hair cut. In between that and a 7 pm church meeting, he took advantage of the clear skies and free sauna weather and did a walk up the first mile and three-quarters of the Hurricane Cliffs trail loop towards Gould's Wash. He had great fun with his camera, mostly pointing it in every direction from the top, and also enjoyed the walking thought by Julie Beck ...
Cheerio!
Today's walk was 3.43 miles, done in 1:07:43 hours at an average pace of 19:45 minutes per mile. This route had an average tortoise rating of 2.6, earned by climbing 599 feet in the 1.72 mile uphill portion. Average elevation was 3720.
Today's weigh-in: 221.8, a 2.o pound increase compared with Lou's last weigh-in on July 15.
Here are the overall stats so far for 2016:
615.80 miles walked, compared with Lou's goal for this date of 605.10.
42,921 total feet climbed so far in 2016, compared to a year-to-date goal of 37,240. 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 58:10 minutes each.
His average pace so far in 2016 has been 17:56.7 minutes per mile, compared with his 18:25 minute per mile pace in 2015.
Lou has walked 391 consecutive non-Sundays since his 8 missed days May 2-11, 2015. Overall he has walked on 494 of the 503 non-Sundays in 2015-16, a 98.211% consistency rating.
And now for today's walking thought:
"... increase faith and personal righteousness, strengthen families and homes, and seek out and help those in need."
