Mile 708. It was a late one tonight, starting a little after 9 and heading north after the special needs activity program called it a wrap. This path included a jog over to the neighborhood overlooking the north end of Confluence Park (very dark this time of day). It also featured a drop down into the Riverwoods neighborhood, specifically so as to climb the hill back out. Tortoise does love his hills.
This met Lou's over 5k (3.1 mile) criteria for the 52 Hike Challenge, this one is number 2. Walking thought this evening was by LeGrand Curtis ...
Cheerio!
Here are the overall stats so far for 2016:
708.92 miles walked, compared with Lou's goal for this date of 687.90.
49,421 total feet climbed so far in 2016, compared to a year-to-date goal of 42,336. 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 59:13 minutes each.
His average pace so far in 2016 has been 18:02.6 minutes per mile, compared with his 18:25 minute per mile pace in 2015.
Lou has walked 417 consecutive non-Sundays since his 8 missed days May 2-11, 2015. overall he has walked on 520 of the 529 non-Sundays in 2015-16, a 98.299% consistency rating.
And now for today's walking thought:
"The effects of this redemption include the overcoming of physical death for all of God's children. That is, temporal death is overcome, and all will be resurrected. Another aspect of this redemption by Christ is the victory over spiritual death. Throught His suffering and death, Christ paid for the sins of all mankind on condition of individual repentance.
"Thus, if we repent, we can be forgiven of our sins, the price having been paid by our Redeemer. This is good news for all of us, 'for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God' (Romans 3:23)"
The tortoise is smiling!
