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.

Monday, August 16th



Flying is more fun than walking, but not as healthy. Take a walk, your heart depends on it! Walked 3 miles this AM. Took a short bike ride yesterday afternoon for about an hour. I read in the paper yesterday that a man, his wife and two 10 year olds (twins) have now completed 2 and one half years into a three year ride from the north slope of Alaska to the southern tip of Argentina, 18,000 miles, yes that is 18,000 miles (thousand), makes me feel like a wimp.
