Mile 688. Lou enjoyed last night's walk enough to do it again today, but just enough earlier to see things a little better along the way. The Boredom Committee will have fun distinguishing the minor differences in the two walks. Perhaps Tortoise is in danger of receiving a green card. He is quaking in his boots on that one, ha! Today's walking thought was provided by Boyd Packer ...
Cheerio!

| Rachel, here's another park to add to your list to check out. :-) |
Today's walk was 3.39 miles, done in 57:58 minutes at an average pace of 17:06 minutes per mile. This route had an average tortoise rating of 4.4, earned by climbing 294 feet in the 1.70 mile uphill portion. Average elevation was 3302.
Here are the overall stats so far for 2016:
688.16 miles walked, compared with Lou's goal for this date of 668.79.
47,818 total feet climbed so far in 2016, compared to a year-to-date goal of 41,160. 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 59:03 minutes each.
His average pace so far in 2016 has been 18:01.1 minutes per mile, compared with his 18:25 minute per mile pace in 2015.
Lou has walked 411 consecutive non-Sundays since his 8 missed days May 2-11, 2015. overall he has walked on 514 of the 523 non-Sundays in 2015-16, a 98.279% consistency rating.
And now for today's walking thought:
" You may in time of trouble think that you are not worth saving because you have made mistakes, big or little, and you think you are now lost. That is never true!"
-- Boyd K. Packer, "Counsel to Youth", LDS General Conference, October 2011
The tortoise is smiling!
