"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!

Mile 868.  Today's walk took Tortoise 2.99 miles to work this morning along the most direct route to 600 North in Hurricane in 51:57 minutes.  There was 188 feet climbed in 1.50 miles along the way, giving that section a 4.9 tortoise rating.  The rest of the path was flat or downhill.  Lou burned 438 calories doing this.  The picture above was taken by the Hurricane Cemetery, about 1.2 miles into the walk.

Please click below for a map and today's walking thought (a scripture that makes me think of Willyne and smile) ...

Cheerio!





2014 Stats:

868.03 miles walked, which is 86.72% of my 2014 goal.
273:44:28 hours walked, which is 87.46% of my 2014 goal
42,727 total feet climbed 
138,355 calories burned
83.07% of the year has passed

I've walked 34 consecutive non-Sundays since my last missed day on September 20, and overall have walked on 247 of the 260 non-Sundays thus far in 2014, a 95.00% consistency rating.

The purpose of the percentages is to have a higher percentage of distance and time walked than of the year. This tells Tortoise that he is on track. Yes, this is more numbers than you are likely interested in, all Tortoise can say is he's really good at setting high goals and having them slip away because he doesn't do them every, every day.

And now for today's message, from 2 Nephi 32:3 ...

"Angels speak by the power of the Holy Ghost; wherefore, they speak the words of Christ. Wherefore, I said unto you, feast upon the words of Christ; for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do."

The tortoise is smiling!
