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.

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010





Walked my customary morning 4 miles. Still stalled, working on some medical issues and monetary ones as well. Weight this am 159, my goal will be 155, down from an all time high of 214. I once made a bet with my father in law back when I was first married and skinny that I would never weight 200 or over, at that time I probably weighed around 150. I bet him that if I reached 200 I would paint his house, well I finally lost. Either because he was a good guy or had no faith in my painting ability he let me off the hook. Later, I did install siding on another house for him. Take your heart for a walk today. It is really easy.
