"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!

14-3



Walked to the credit union on a fabulous sunny 60 degree afternoon (even 5 degrees warmer than St. George - how did we luck out on that one?). I then made a loop out of it to see the new high school buildings, football field, and track up close, before heading back to the office.  3.42 miles with 62 feet climbed in 1:02:25 hours.  Tortoise rating:  5.9.  For a map and more pictures, please click below to continue reading.

Cheerio!

2014 Stats:

11.14 miles walked, which is 1.11% of my 2014 goal.
3:46:11 hours walked, which is 1.20% of my 2014 goal
623 total feet climbed
1,776 calories burned

0.96% of the year has passed.  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!

  1. Wow, the high school looks so different and huge, but I'm glad Hurricane has such a righteous school now, and your 60 degree weather sounds divine, it's 15 here but weather.com says it feels like -3 which I can attest to. You know it's cold when you can barely tolerate being outside long enough to pump gas before your hands start to hurt. Can't wait for spring!
