We started in the rain (and it stayed with us for five hours), but it couldn’t dampen our spirits! We handed the umbrella to a spectator at Opening Ceremonies, and walked with plastic grocery bags tied around our feet until they wore away. . This gang cheered us on all thru the 3 days. There were enthusiastic [...] Have you heard of “the butterfly effect”? It has to do with chaos theory; for example, that something as seemingly inconsequential as the flapping of a butterfly’s wings can have far-reaching impact on weather patterns.

Early on in my 3-Day experience I decided that I was going to take advantage of every official [...]
Welcome to this week’s 3-Day Thursday, er, Friday post! I had planned to post about the shoe-fitting clinic I attended, along with some tips for choosing the right training/walking equipment ….

The folks at the Breast Cancer 3-Day noticed some of my earlier posts about the walk I’m doing, which will be held in the Boston area in July.
