"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!

Here's the tortoise's view as he passes all the good folks playing basketball at the church in the 6 to 7 am hour three days a week.  Clouds are gathering for a little more rain, yay!  Walk was cut a little short when the wind and rain picked up, but he made it 3.11 miles with 64 feet climbed in 1:00:09 hours.  Tortoise rating:  5.7; calories burned:  488.  For a map and more, please click below to continue reading ...

Cheerio!

No Pine Valley Mountains this morning, they're hiding in the clouds ...
2014 Stats:

636.97 miles walked, which is 63.63% of my 2014 goal.
201:19:51 hours walked, which is 64.32% of my 2014 goal
30,275 total feet climbed 
101,708 calories burned
61.34% of the year has passed

I've walked 2 consecutive non-Sundays since my last missed day on August 11, and overall have walked on 181 of the 193 non-Sundays thus far in 2014, a 93.78% 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!
