"The Blog Almost Too Boring To Be The Most Boring Blog in America ... for Over 5 Years!"

until it got too many red cards from Wounded Duck and the Boredom Enforcement Committee ... now the tortoise's goal is to get to 10 red cards so he can get Big Dog to drive down and take a good long walk with the tortoise

P. S. This blog listens to its readers. We have the Benjamin Category Override for 5+ mile walks and now, it humbles Tortoise to say he has been named "Lou", by Doug Jr, in memory of Mr. Consistency himself, Lou Gehrig. Tortoise can hardly type the words to think he is in any way comparable to the noble Iron Horse. Thank you!

14-20


Here's where today's walk gets a little steeper, just past 600 North and Main in Hurricane ... but no worries, the Scouts still were able to post the flag this fine Martin Luther King, Jr. Civil Rights Day ...

3.36 miles with 154 feet climbed in 59:58 minutes.  Tortoise rating:  5.4.  Calories burned:  522.

And just 1 1/2 minutes after the earlier picture, the road opens up to this.

2014 Stats:

60.78 miles walked, which is 6.08% of my 2014 goal.
19:37:58 hours walked, which is 6.27% of my 2014 goal
2,892 total feet climbed
9,599 calories burned 
5.43% of the year has passed.
I've walked on 16 of the 17 non-Sundays thus far in 2014, a 94.1% consistency rating.

The purpose of the percentages is to have a higher percentage of distance and time walked than of the year. This tells me I am on track. I'm sure this is more numbers than you are interested in, all I can say is I'm really good at setting high goals and having them slip away because I don't do them every, every day.

 The tortoise is smiling!
