"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!

14-22


Walked to lunch and to the bank this afternoon.  Finished my walk in the 44 degree cool of a clear evening after week 2 of my 3 week class at the Hurricane Family History Center.  I've agreed with my sweetheart to limit my walking to a couple of well lit streets, Hurricane's State Street being one of them.  Hard to avoid streetlight glare, and this picture of the Southern Utah (Offroad) Adventure Center is the best one I managed ...  Total of all the walk segments was 3.43 miles with 39 feet climbed in 1:10:37 hours.  Tortoise rating:  6.0.  Calories burned:  545.

2014 Stats:

66.39 miles walked, which is 6.64% of my 2014 goal.
21:29:43 hours walked, which is 6.87% of my 2014 goal
  3,039 total feet climbed
10,485 calories burned 
6.07% of the year has passed.
I've walked on 18 of the 19 non-Sundays thus far in 2014, a 94.7% 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!
