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, June 11, 2010

Was only able to squeeze in 6 1/2 miles today. Met people I knew and have not seen for a long while, sooo, we had to talk. Mileage to date = 460 1/2, got to get to that 500 number before long. The next 500 will surely be much easier!!?? Hope to have a good walking day tomorrow. Somehow I was able to patch son Michael's tin porch roof today. DON'T FORGET TO TAKE A WALK, YOUR HEART IS COUNTING ON IT! No pictures today!
