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.

Tuesday, August 10th




I don't think anyone reads or looks at this blog anymore. That is depressing. 4 and 1/4 miles walking today.

    Hey John, don't let it get you down, my man. There are a lot of us "lurkers" out here that drop by to check up on you from time to time but don't post comments. Great blog and some excellent photography. Have you read "A Walk in the Woods" by Bill Bryson yet?
