Mile 780. You're looking up the Grapevine Trail, about a mile from the trailhead on Washington Parkway, which is just west of Interstate 15, exit 13. One of many views that makes Tortoise smile when he is walking in the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve.
The day's walking thought was by Julie Beck ...
Cheerio!
Today's walk was 3.41 miles, done in 1:03:55 hours at an average pace of 18:45 minutes per mile. This route had an average tortoise rating of 4.1, earned by climbing 357 feet in the 1.71 mile uphill portion. Average elevation was 3233.
This was #hike17 of Lou's 52 Hike Challenge.
Here are the overall stats so far for 2016:
780.42 miles walked, compared with Lou's goal for this date of 761.15.
Tortoise has climbed a total of 55,406 feet so far in 2016, compared to a year-to-date goal of 46,844. 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 59:18 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 18:09.7 minutes per mile, compared with his 18:25 minute per mile pace in 2015.
Lou has walked 440 consecutive non-Sundays since his 8 missed days May 2-11, 2015. overall he has walked on 543 of the 552 non-Sundays in 2015-16, a 98.370% consistency rating.
Today's walking thought was "What I Hope My Granddaughters (and Grandsons) Will Understand about Relief Society", by Julie B. Beck from the October 2011 LDS General Conference.
"We know that to Him it is our caring that counts."
The tortoise is smiling!
