When I was chosen to be a 3-Day for the Cure official Ambassador.. I was so excited!! I so love the 3-Day, what it does and what it stands for... and being chosen to be an Ambassador was very special to me! I don't know if they will ever need me to "do" anything.. but if they do... I'm there. You all know I talk about and wear my 3-Day gear with pride! I try and tell everyone that will listen to me about the 3-Day and what it means not only to me but to the community as a whole.
Now.. I've registered to be an official 3-Day Training Walk Leader and I've been accepted! YEAH!!! So what does that mean you ask... (I know you are thinking it...) Well, as an "official" Training Walk Leader, I can/will create different training walks of different lenghts (from a short 3 mile to a nice long 15+mile) and post them to the official 3-Day training walk site. Walkers that are in the area can "sign-up" to join my walk and we will all "train" together. As the walk leader, I will be responsible for guiding and instructing the walkers on 3-Day walk "etiquette" and the "rules of the road". You would be surprised.. we don't just "get out there an walk" ... there are guidelines in place for our safety and as a Walk Leader, it will be my job to make sure the walkers know what they are and train properly.
So to be an official walk leader, I just have to attend my official meeting to make get all of my information and instructions and to be sure that I am clear on all that I am responsible for as a walk leader.
The weather is getting warmer and I am so ready to get outside I can taste it! I'm looking forward to now not only get to train with Kelly (one of my teammates), but to meet and walk/train with others in the DC/MD/VA area! How cool is that? PRETTY COOL I THINK!!
So... stay tuned.. there will be lots of "training walk" post coming! If you are on Facebook... please be sure to check out my page (http://www.facebook.com/deborahjean.smith) for constant updates and information about the walk. Of course I'll be posting training walk information here on my blog too!

Now... Let's get walking!!!!!
