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.

Only was able to walk 2 miles today, due to rain, then Cardiologist appointment. Check out how walking can affect your cholesterol and triglyceride levels, you will see a remarkable drop in Bad (LDL) and Triglyceride levels and a rise in the good (HDL) level. Any questions? Does exercise (walking) act as a good influence on your Cholesterol and Triglycerides or what? So why don't you all get out and join me in walking for your hearts sake. Also note the picture of the Plymouth City Building, this is where I hit the 500 mile mark.
