"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!

2014 Stats:

753.46 miles walked, which is 75.27% of my 2014 goal.
237:55:25 hours walked, which is 76.01% of my 2014 goal
35,905 total feet climbed 
120,298 calories burned
72.84% of the year has passed

I've walked 2 consecutive non-Sundays since my last missed day on September 20, and overall have walked on 215 of the 228 non-Sundays thus far in 2014, a 94.30% 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.


Today's walking thought, from an October 1990 LDS Conference address by Elder James Paramore:

"God has not forgotten His children, even though they leave His presence for a season and come to earth. We are all on a journey to come to earth and prove ourselves, to find the Savior and the witnesses we have talked about today, and to embrace them with all of our heart. This will bring us peace and safety in a world of ever more frightening challenges."

The tortoise is smiling!
