"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 witnessed another beautiful La Verkin sunrise while listening to Henry B. Eyring and other speakers at the opening session of the October 1989 LDS General Conference.  Amazing what technology can bring to your earbuds.  The walk covered 3.71 miles, with 100 feet climbed in 1:06:02 hours.  Tortoise rating was 5.6; calories burned were 578.  For a map, more pictures, a thought Tortoise liked from Bishop Eyring, and more, please click below to continue reading ...

Cheerio!

2014 Stats:

661.87 miles walked, which is 66.12% of my 2014 goal.
209:14:30 hours walked, which is 66.85% of my 2014 goal
31,196 total feet climbed 
105,627 calories burned
63.90% of the year has passed

I've walked 9 consecutive non-Sundays since my last missed day on August 11, and overall have walked on 188 of the 200 non-Sundays thus far in 2014, a 94.00% 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.

"Many of you have had the same experience I have had. And if you haven’t, you will: you will go to a hospital or to a house to comfort someone, and instead they comfort you. Or you try to encourage someone who seems to you to have so little, and yet they will express gratitude for things you take for granted." - Henry B. Eyring www.lds.org/... #sharegoodness


The tortoise is smiling!
