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.

Wednesday, August 25th


Last evening was so nice I took a 2 mile walk with Shelly. Walked 3 1/4 miles this AM, again with Shelly. She is shaping up, but still don't think she would stand for 100's of miles without being home. Take a walk today! There are things out there to see. I see things differently than Ronald Reagan who said, "A tree's a tree. How many more do you need to look at?" However, I agree with him when he said, "Don't be afraid to see what you see." Have a great day wherever you are.
