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.

Mileage

I hit 400 miles at or near Lexington, and am at 410 overall. I think walking is something everyone should do as part of a healthy lifestyle. I started off 5 years ago with only a few blocks and added a little each day until I could walk 15 or 20 miles in a day. A few steps, followed by a few more and soon you will be able to walk a mile and then 2 or 3. Take your heart for a walk, your heart will love you for it!! Peace, John
