"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!

2014 Stats:

512.09 miles walked, which is 51.16% of my 2014 goal.
159:45:36 hours walked, which is 51:04% of my 2014 goal
23,542 total feet climbed 
81,846 calories burned
 49.84% of the year has passed
Weigh-in:  238.1, up 2.3 from my last weigh-in on June 23.  I guess with l'll be happy with that given all the yummy food we had at the reunion ... and keep on walking :-)
I've walked on 145 of the 156 non-Sundays thus far in 2014, a 92.95% 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!
