Mile 766. Tortoise arrived a little early to meet with his friends at 3gr.la, which gave him the opportunity to go for a little walk in Koreatown. Walking thought was by Randall Bennett ...
Cheerio!

| Yes, the Thrifty ice cream is still good here years after Lou went here with the boys after a Clippers game at the Sports Arena. They still talk about that one! |
 |
| Don't see many references to the 84 Olympics any more, so this was more fun! |

| Didn't know that Little Bangladesh snuggled right up next to Koreatown ... |
Today's walk was 2.08 miles, done in 35:44 minutes at an average pace of 17:11 minutes per mile. This route had an average tortoise rating of 6.2, earned by climbing 72 feet in the 1.04 mile uphill portion. Average elevation was 296.
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:
766.66 miles walked, compared with Lou's goal for this date of 748.41.
Tortoise has climbed a total of 53,954 feet so far in 2016, compared to a year-to-date goal of 46,060. 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 59:07 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 18:07.2 minutes per mile, compared with his 18:25 minute per mile pace in 2015.
Lou has walked 436 consecutive non-Sundays since his 8 missed days May 2-11, 2015. overall he has walked on 539 of the 548 non-Sundays in 2015-16, a 98.358% consistency rating.
Today's walking thought was "Choose Eternal Life", by Randall K. Bennett from the October 2011 LDS General Conference.
The tortoise is smiling!
