Don Almy, who at age 67 jogged 3,100 miles across the United States after retiring from the Air Force with a heart condition, has died at age 71.

Almy, who died Friday, retired as a colonel in the Air Force in the early 1970s. In 1974 he vowed to reverse his condition with a fitness program and a strict diet. Almy soon shed 50 of his 200 pounds, reduced his blood cholesterol level and blood pressure and was able to toss out the four prescription medicines he had been taking daily. In 1979, Almy and his wife, Camille, undertook the journey across the U.S. mainland.

The jog began in Los Angeles, crossed most of the Southern states, and ended in Washington, D.C.
