The people you meet along the way
One of the things I love about the 3-Day is the people I’m meeting. Some in person. Many online. And more still waiting for me to cross their paths in one way or another. While most are connected to the 3-Day in some manner, that’s not always the case

Take that, bike!
Friday was day number two of cross training, and this time I didn’t have any excavation to round out my time, which meant I had to pedal the entire 30 minutes. Yikes!

Safety 101
With the official training now under way for walkers all over the country, I figure now is a good time to talk safety, especially after my near-splatting by a driver who was paying more attention to her texting than her driving.

Coordination fail!
Anyway, having read the 2010 Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure Walker Handbook, I knew full well that Komen doesn’t want walkers talking on the phone, texting or even listening to headphones while training or during the event. That, however, did not stop me from doing it on my last training walk.

Hello, legs… so nice to see you again…
Today was my first cross-training day — 30 minutes according to the training guide. Unless you count the time spent unburying my recumbent bike, I didn’t quite make it.
Follow/friend the fat girl!
