Mile 747. Tortoise is now getting in to a routine of quicker walks between 2 and 3 miles to beat the rains and earlier darkness. He did pick up a couple of the La Verkin hills while doing so today. Walking thought was by Russell Ballard ...
Cheerio!
Today's walk was 2.29 miles, done in 43:00 minutes at an average pace of 18:47 minutes per mile. This route had an average tortoise rating of 5.0, earned by climbing 132 feet in the 1.15 mile uphill portion. Average elevation was 3218.
This met Tortoise's 2 mile minimum to be count this as a day walked, but was less than 5k and so he is not counting it towards his 52 Hike Challenge is what is left of the year.
Here are the overall stats so far for 2016:
747.64 miles walked, compared with Lou's goal for this date of 729.30.
Tortoise has climbed a total of 52,360 feet so far in 2016, compared to a year-to-date goal of 44,884. 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 59:08 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 18:05.7 minutes per mile, compared with his 18:25 minute per mile pace in 2015.
Lou has walked 430 consecutive non-Sundays since his 8 missed days May 2-11, 2015. overall he has walked on 533 of the 542 non-Sundays in 2015-16, a 98.340% consistency rating.
Today's walking thought was "The Importance of a Name", by M. Russell Ballard from the October 2011 LDS General Conference.
The tortoise is smiling!
