Mile 701. Tonight was an opportunity for one of Lou's favorites: a shaded walk through part of Confluence Park. There's a map, a picture revealing the reappearance of "Grandpa's Island" in the Virgin River just before the confluence, and the day's walking thought by Ian Ardern for your reading pleasure this evening ...

| The island has reappeared! Let the fun begin! |
Today's walk was 3.45 miles, done in 1:04:49 hours at an average pace of 18:47 minutes per mile. This route had an average tortoise rating of 4.5, earned by climbing 295 feet in the 1.73 mile uphill portion. Average elevation was 3134.
Here are the overall stats so far for 2016:
701.20 miles walked, compared with Lou's goal for this date of 681.53.
48,639 total feet climbed so far in 2016, compared to a year-to-date goal of 41,944. 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 59:02 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 415 consecutive non-Sundays since his 8 missed days May 2-11, 2015. overall he has walked on 518 of the 527 non-Sundays in 2015-16, a 98.292% consistency rating.
And now for today's walking thought:
"Time is never for sale; time is a commodity that cannot, try as you may, be bought at any store for any price. Yet when time is wisely used, its value is immeasurable."

The tortoise is smiling!
