Kieffer Walks Across America - Via Virtual

On January 1, 2004, I began my virtual walk across America following U.S. Route 50 in my road atlas. I tranfered to this on-line journal in Jul 04. The trip started at Ocean City, Maryland, and ended in San Francisco, Dec 14th, 2009. (3,127) miles. Recorded in this weblog was miles walked, destinations reached, interesting links, and personal reflections. Stopped and restarted a few times, but enjoyed the trip - venturing along this transcontinental Main Street.

Heart rate 50 this morning. Walked 5 miles on trail. 735 miles to date. Got lab results of blood test today. 137 cholesterol, 67 HDL, 63 LDL, and 41 triglycerides. Doctor said it was very unusual for HDL to exceed LDL and was amazed. Two years ago, 158 cholesterol, 81 LDLs and 41 HDLs. Walking and food selection must be helping! Quote of the day -
"I have two doctors--my left leg and my right leg."
