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.

May 3rd

We walked a couple of miles into Denton and had lunch. We had a late start due to rain. We walked 14 miles to Tuckahoe State Park. I got two ticks on me there. We walked through an inhospitable town called Ridgely, where JJ was refused the use of the restroom at a convenience store, the attendant stating that even she couldn't use it. Tomorrow, if its not raining, we hope to do 17 to 18 miles and make it to Queenstown, MD and spend the night in a hotel.
