Training Walk Leader

I am going to be a Training Walk Leader. Woohoo! When I signed up to do the 3 Day I checked a little box on the registration form saying that I was interested in being a training walk leader. I didn't really know what that was at the time. Basically I will plan official training walks and serve as a safety monitor. I can plan as many or as few walks as I want and hold them wherever I want. I think training walks are a great way to meet other 3 Day walkers and find people to walk with so I don't have to walk by myself. I had my training walk leader training today via conference call. I learned a lot of good information about safety. There is a website called roadid.com where you can purchase an id bracelet with emergency contacts an medical info about yourself on it. If you carry a cell phone you should program an ICE (In Case of Emergencies) number in it and first response people will know to call your emergency contact. Hopefully there won't be any emergencies but you should always be prepared. The picture at the top of this post is the training walk leader legacy pin. If I organize 2 or more training walks I will get one of these pins and an orange safety bandanna. I plan to organize my first training walk this weekend.
