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.

Wednesday, June 16th

Have a good day! And thanks for your support and kind thoughts.

Yesterday and today I walked a combination of 8 3/4 miles. This is the week I have my physicals and class reunion. Tomorrow I should walk enough to hit 500 miles for the month and a half that I have been walking for the AHA. Should have been 750, but things just did not work as planned. There is nothing I can do about that. So I will just go on as best I can and see what happens. Need to find some sponsors or I will have to take some time off.
