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.

Saturday, July 24th




Walked 3 miles early AM. Worked on my son's house for 9 hours, built a half wall around his range, paneled one side, tiled the other. Jacked up his front porch and installed a new beam. Cleaned part of his garage. Got rained on. Took my wife out to dinner, left the moon roof open on her car, really rained in. But it was a good meal and good to spend some time with her. Other than that a rather uneventful day. Hope yours was great!
