Rain, rain go away.... all 3-Day walkers want to play!! ;)

Yes, this rain is a bit depressing, isn't it! So now we need to learn to be creative with our training time. While walking outside is optimal, sometimes Mother Nature is not cooperative. Mall walking is a great opportunity...plus it could turn into a fundraiser. Wear your 3-Day shirt and talk to everyone about what you are doing! Your training session could definitely be a bonus!

Training Reminder

Hi All~
I hope everyone is getting ready for a great 2007 3-Day season. I see we have a various of cities that everyone will be visiting this year.

As you can see, I have posted a few training walks for this month. I know several of you are very anxious to start training....which is great. Just keep in mind that I am posting walks based on the Chicago walk training schedule.

I also will not be posting walks as regularly as last year. I will post at least one walk per week through the end of June and then at least two walks per week through August 9th.

There is also an orientation for walkers and crew this Saturday at the Orange County library downtown. Check the 3 day page for more details.

Walk and talk to you soon!
