At age 72, I am planning to walk across American to bring awareness of how exercise etc. can help bring about a healthier heart and vascular system, lower blood pressure, etc., and to raise funds, as well, for the American Heart Association. I welcome you to follow me on my journey! My plan for 2010 is to walk from Lewes, DE to St. Louis, MO or further if possible. In 2005 I was leading a sedentary life and weighed 201 lbs. I started walking and then running and lost 36 lbs, significantly lowered my blood pressure, my bad cholesterol, and raised my good cholesterol equally. My journey will commence on or about April 30th. Help the A.H.A. by donating thru the web site: Michianaheartwalk.kintera.org/johnwalksamerica. If all goes well I hope to be in St. Louis sometime in September 2010.

Friday May 14th

Williamsport, MD overnight for some repairs. Walked 16 1/2 miles on the C & O towpath. Ask the National park ranger about the ticks, he said he did not know of the problem as he has not been out in the woods. Wouldn't you think a park ranger would occasionally be in the woods? JJ got sold on the Waffle House Restaurant here. More ticks to pick.
