"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!

14-195


This evening's walk began at about 9 pm, once the temperature had dropped to 97.  As I covered 3.95 miles, with 72 feet climbed, in 1:18:47 hours, the temperature gradually lowered to 90.  Without the penetrating sun it was more tiring than usual but doable.  Tortoise rating;  5.7; calories burned:  622.  For a map and another picture, please click below to continue reading ...

Cheerio!

2014 Stats:

551.63 miles walked, which is 55.11% of my 2014 goal.
172:46:44 hours walked, which is 55.20% of my 2014 goal
25,032 total feet climbed 
88,109 calories burned
 53.35% of the year has passed
I've walked 37 consecutive non-Sundays since my last missed day on May 31, and overall have walked on 156 of the 167 non-Sundays thus far in 2014, a 93.41% 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!
