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, August 21st



Take a hike, ride a bike. Get some exercise. There is a lot to see that you cannot sitting on the couch or at 70 mph. Walked 3 miles the AM, in the rain, vinyl poncho which does not breathe and makes your body temperature feel like 150 degrees. Hot, Hot, hot! Hope to get in a bike ride this afternoon, weather permitting. Enjoy your day!
