"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!

Another beautiful morning in La Verkin, perfect to walk 4.30 miles with 314 feet climbed in 1:25:46 hours.  Tortoise rating on the 1 mile uphill portion was 3.1; calories burned were 677.  For a map, more pictures and fun, please click below to continue reading ...

Cheerio!

Another fine view along the walk

After the walk, Chloe and Abigail went with me to ShaRee's baptism.
She is pictured here with her father Tom moments before her baptism.

After the baptism, it was time for a Grandpa-Granddaughter date

Abigail enjoyed her hot dog; Chloe had chicken strips, and both
chose applesauce to go with it.  Yum!

And of course, a delicious cone to top it off!
Thanks for coming with me!
2014 Stats:

547.68 miles walked, which is 54.71% of my 2014 goal.
171:27:57 hours walked, which is 54.78% of my 2014 goal
24,960 total feet climbed 
87,487 calories burned
 53.04% of the year has passed
I've walked 36 consecutive non-Sundays since my last missed day on May 31, and overall have walked on 155 of the 166 non-Sundays thus far in 2014, a 93.37% 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!
