Mile 721. Lou decided to drive the mile from his office to the Crosby Family Confluence Park trailhead after work and walk up the hill across the river on the Virgin River South trail. He loves this trail and would walk it even more if it had more hills. This section does!

Cheerio!
Today's walk was 3.72 miles, covering a little less than half of the Mayor's Loop, both ways, done in 1:02:14 hours at an average pace of 16:44 minutes per mile. This route had an average tortoise rating of 5.3, earned by climbing 184 feet in the 1.86 mile uphill portion. Average elevation was 2561.
This was #hike5 of Lou's 52 Hike Challenge.
Here are the overall stats so far for 2016:
721.40 miles walked, compared with Lou's goal for this date of 700.64.
Tortoise has climbed a total of 50,118 feet so far in 2016, compared to a year-to-date goal of 43,120. Lou hopes to climb more than the 61,316 feet he climbed in 2015 -- as a way to get the 125 heart rate his doctor suggests for these walks. So far in 2016, Tortoise's walks have averaged 59:09 minutes each, compared with his daily average of 1:07:04 hours the previous year. He enjoys seeing what he can do in an hour and change each day!
His average pace so far in 2016 has been 18:02.3 minutes per mile, compared with his 18:25 minute per mile pace in 2015.
Lou has walked 421 consecutive non-Sundays since his 8 missed days May 2-11, 2015. overall he has walked on 524 of the 533 non-Sundays in 2015-16, a 98.311% consistency rating.
Today's walking thought was "The Power of the Aaronic Priesthood", by Keith B. McMullin, from the October 2011 LDS General Conference
The tortoise is smiling!
