"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!

14-231


Didn't walk this morning with the steady rain, accompanied with some lightning, all morning and most of the afternoon.   Things opened up just before 6 pm and Tortoise headed off for a 2.16 mile walk up the hill from his office, near the wet practice field shown above, with the hope he could do more later.  After a busy evening, around 9 pm he did a second 1.39 mile walk in a loop around Toquerville.  Total of both walks was 3.55 miles with 190 feet climbed in 1:08:44 hours.  Tortoise rating was 5.0; calories burned were 556.  For maps and more, please click below to continue reading ...

Cheerio!

2014 Stats:

654.01 miles walked, which is 65.34% of my 2014 goal.
206:48:23 hours walked, which is 66.07% of my 2014 goal
30,969 total feet climbed 
104,398 calories burned
63.26% of the year has passed

I've walked 7 consecutive non-Sundays since my last missed day on August 11, and overall have walked on 186 of the 198 non-Sundays thus far in 2014, a 93.94% 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!
