"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!

Tortoise walked home from work starting a little before 9 this evening.  This is a view looking down the walking/cycling path along the side of Hurricane's 600 North street taken after walking the first mile.  He took a route with more sidewalks which got him to his daily goal at 3.24 miles walked with 212 feet climbed in 58:00 minutes.  Tortoise rating:  4.8; calories burned:  505; temperature:  88.  For a map and more, please click below to continue reading ...

Cheerio!

2014 Stats:

625.00 miles walked, which is 62.44% of my 2014 goal.
197:05:41 hours walked, which is 62.97% of my 2014 goal
29,656 total feet climbed 
99,769 calories burned
60.06% of the year has passed
I've walked 58 consecutive non-Sundays since my last missed day on May 31, and overall have walked on 177 of the 188 non-Sundays thus far in 2014, a 94.15% 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!
