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.

OK, what is it. You will win a day of walking with me if you guess correctly! email me: jrwraight@hotmail.com
Rolling farm land in north central Indiana.
Walked a short 7 3/4 miles today. Would have done more but thunderstorms chased me off the road. Had lunch in a small cemetery out in the country. Power bar, apple and beef jerky. Wow!! Walked through some rolling farm land, picture attached. Also, I have added a picture of a flower or whatever it is. If you can identify it, you will be awarded a free day of walking with me. Come on now, lets have your best shot. I know you want to walk with me. Total mileage: 468 1/4 miles.
