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.

Sunday, June 20th


Have a great day!!
Saturday and Sunday I added 10 1/4 miles to the total. Hope to get back in high gear soon. Even if I have to lay out for a couple of months I plan to walk at least 4 miles a day to keep the old ticker ticking. Still looking for a major contributor to fund my walk. Are there any out there? Went to my 55th class reunion, it was good to see and talk with the 22 others that came. Always good to see old friends.
