Mile 694. Look at that orderly line of ducks! They waddled right past Tortoise in that line; the fact that he was standing right there did not bother them in the least. What a joy!
The day's walking thought was by David Bednar ...
Today's walk was 4.07 miles, done in 1:10:32 hours at an average pace of 17:20 minutes per mile. This route had an average tortoise rating of 5.0, earned by climbing 240 feet in the 2.04 mile uphill portion. Average elevation was 3235.
Here are the overall stats so far for 2016:
694.52 miles walked, compared with Lou's goal for this date of 675.16.
48,179 total feet climbed so far in 2016, compared to a year-to-date goal of 41,552. 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 59:01 minutes each.
His average pace so far in 2016 has been 18:01.0 minutes per mile, compared with his 18:25 minute per mile pace in 2015.
Lou has walked 413 consecutive non-Sundays since his 8 missed days May 2-11, 2015. overall he has walked on 516 of the 525 non-Sundays in 2015-16, a 98.286% consistency rating.
And now for today's walking thought:
"Troy stated, 'I used to come to church and just sit there, but now I realize that I need to go home and do something. We can all do family history.'

"Jason reported that as he learned more about family history, he realized 'that these were not just names but real people'."
The tortoise is smiling!
