"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!

14-265


Another excellent late night walk today, this one up the hill from Tortoise's office to just past the radio towers.  2.07 miles with 140 feet climbed in 36:00 minutes.  Tortoise rating was 4.8; calories burned were 322.  For a map and today's walking thought by J. Ballard Washburn, please click below to continue reading ...

Cheerio!

2014 Stats:

751.38 miles walked, which is 75.06% of my 2014 goal.
237:19:00 hours walked, which is 75.82% of my 2014 goal
35,853 total feet climbed 
119,974 calories burned
72.52% of the year has passed

Today is the first day of Tortoise's new string of consecutive walking days since missing Saturday. Overall he has walked on 214 of the 227 non-Sundays thus far in 2014, a 94.27% 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.

And now for today's walking thought from J. Ballard Washburn in the October 1990 LDS General Conference:

"Today there are thousands who have had a spiritual awakening because they are studying and following the teachings of the Book of Mormon as the prophet has admonished us to do. There are thousands who are better people today because they have stripped themselves of pride, as counseled by this great prophet."

The tortoise is smiling!
