And a very pleasant American Independence Day to each of you! We celebrated by borrowing a 4 wheeler and trailer, decorating it, gathering our grandchildren and headed to our hometown parade. Of course, being the Tortoise, I was more than happy to walk along side and make sure everything went OK. Following the parade, we headed to the city park and played the games there, after which I walked back home and we had a wonderful picnic lunch. The video tells it all I think ... The tortoise's walking in all of this totalled 2.34 miles with 64 feet climbed in 59:25 minutes. Tortoise rating: 5.6; calories burned: 406.

I've walked 29 consecutive non-Sundays since my last missed day on May 31, and overall have walked on 148 of the 159 non-Sundays thus far in 2014, a 93.08% 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!
