We came, we saw, we tweeted.
After the success of our Fundraising Tweet Chat on May 29, we followed up on July 9 with another Tweet Chat all about training. Dozens of 3-Dayers and coaches met in cyberspace to tweet about training schedules, blister prevention and other walking-related tips and tricks. The hour-long conversation flew by, and we all came away with some fantastic ideas and inspiration.
Some highlights are posted below, and you can see the whole conversation by visiting the 3-Day Twitter page (www.twitter.com/the3day), or searching for the hashtag #the3day, then scrolling to the July 9 posts.
Keep the training conversation going on all of the 3-Day social media sites!
@The3Day usually alone…my team is made up of people from all over the us. We keep in contact over Facebook 🙂 and twitter

@The3Day I do a combo, just depends on my mood. I love company but walking alone is great thinking time! #training #the3day

@The3Day @msaubrey26 You have to be able to dance at #The3Day why you ask #DanceParty that’s why.

@The3Day It is also very important to train with anything you plan to carry during the walk.#The3Day Things weigh more than you think 🙂

@The3Day Don’t do all your miles on a treadmill! On event you’ll be stopping at lights and stepping up and down off curbs. Train outdoors!
