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.

Rode 42.75 miles today. Total to date: 499.75. Lodged above an old General Store, still operating since 1893. Awesome place, had the run of the store at night and was told to help myself to anything on the shelves, in coolers, etc, just write down what I take and settle up in the AM. Barb (the owner) demonstrated how to cook a pizza if I wanted one. There were about 4 house in the town. This was in Peers, MO. along the Katy Trail. This building has been flooded out many times, the last was in 1993 when the water was at the top of the entry doors.
