Mile 632. Let's walk back to work in the relative cool of the morning! Here's a view at the 3 mile mark looking at the remaining walk down Hurricane's 400 South Street and the hill to climb beyond that. Tortoise enjoyed himself! Today's thought is by Russell Ballard ...
Cheerio!

Today's walk was 5.35 miles, done in 1:36:17 hours at an average pace of 18:oo minutes per mile. This route had an average tortoise rating of 5.2, earned by climbing 254 feet in the 2.68 mile uphill portion. Average elevation was 3288. Its over 5 mile length qualifies it for a Benjamin Category Override to a 5.0 tortoise rating.
Here are the overall stats so far for 2016:
632.79 miles walked, compared with Lou's goal for this date of 617.83.
43,950 total feet climbed so far in 2016, compared to a year-to-date goal of 38,024. 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 58:30 minutes each.
His average pace so far in 2016 has been 17:56.0 minutes per mile, compared with his 18:25 minute per mile pace in 2015.
Lou has walked 395 consecutive non-Sundays since his 8 missed days May 2-11, 2015. Overall he has walked on 498 of the 507 non-Sundays in 2015-16, a 98.225% consistency rating.
And now for today's walking thought:
"So what can we do to not become lost? First, may I suggest that we prioritize. Put everything you do outside the home in subjection to and in support of what happens inside your home."
