"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!

14-99



Got on the first flight out of LAX this morning for Vegas, then headed to Mesquite for a couple midday appointments and on to the Hurricane office for more there.  About 8 pm I headed out for my walk, just in time for evening bible study at my new neighbor, Calvary Chapel.  They are in the space Ross Lindsay used to have his karate studio in, and they get a pretty good crowd.

My walk was 2.63 miles with 62 feet climbed in 47:23 minutes.  Tortoise rating:  5.6; calories burned:  409.

2014 Stats:

289.05 miles walked, which is 28.91% of my 2014 goal.
90:31:01 hours walked, which is 28:92% of my 2014 goal
13,778 total feet climbed
46,528 calories burned
 27.16% of the year has passed
I've walked on 80 of the 85 non-Sundays thus far in 2014, a 94.12% 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.
