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.

17 1/2 miles walked in the last 4 days. I believe if you add up all the miles I have walked this year, in Florida, KY, Mexico and around Plymouth, as well as on the ADT trip I am around 1000 miles so far this year. Way behind where I wanted to be, but I can't change that. Looking forward to several hundred more at home and several hundred back on the ADT.
