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, Oct. 6th

A view of the River from the bluff in Hannibal, MO. Walk up about 1000 steps and you can get to this spot.
Sign along the Mississippi River wall in Hannibal, MO. I found it to be unnecessary to inform me of this.
Typical river town houses, Quincy, IL
The downtown post office in Quincy, IL.
Carl Madison in the bicycle store in Quincy, IL. He and his father went into the bicycle store in 1947. He is still there, obviously. I don't think his dog has been there that long. I finally bought some of those silly looking biker pants with the pads. Oh what a relief!
