Tortoise needed to drop something off at the FedEx dropbox not quite a mile from his office, and decided it might be his best chance at a walk on this off and on rainy day. (Nice and gradual, mostly. Aren't those the best kind of rainy days? We've sure been praying for this!) He made it to the dropbox OK, then about the time he passed the high school the rain started coming down pretty hard ... just in time for him to find shelter under the overhang of the school building. He took the picture above while waiting for the rain to slow down enough to continue walking.
The rain got Tortoise pretty wet, but he didn't seem to mind ... well at least not too much. He did cut his walk back somewhat when it became clear the rain was going to continue a good while. He wound up walking 2.07 miles with 36 feet climbed in 38:47 minutes. Tortoise rating: 5.8; calories burned: 325. For a map and more, please click below to continue reading ...
Cheerio!

Today is the first day of Tortoise's new string of consecutive walking days since missing yesterday. Overall he has walked on 180 of the 192 non-Sundays thus far in 2014, a 93.75% 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!
