Caitlin from The Komen Experience blog ran her first barefoot race last weekend.  She talks all about running the Race for the Cure in her Vibram 5 Fingers in this interesting post.

With training picking up for the 3 Day around the country, everyone is starting to experience some bumps and bruises along the way.  And with those bumps and bruises comes a renewed interest in keeping everyone healthy and safe along the way, something that a lot of 3 Day bloggers touched on this week.

First up in the "safety" category is Cat of the Fat Girl Walkin' blog.  In this post, Cat talks about the pitfalls of trying to multitask, including accidentally walking 4 miles.  As a follow up to that post, Cat talked to the Phoenix Police Department and got some great safety tips that she shared in this post.   

Heidi from the blog A Life Changing Journey also shared her safety tips for walking in the country in this post.  Heidi also got some moo-velous support on her recent training walk, which she talks about in this post.  

One of the biggest safety concerns for 3 Day walkers is dehydration.  Jillian, who writes the blog Chai Latte Please offered up her story about a recent bout of dehydration to serve as a word of warning in this post.  Natalie, of the Pounding the Ground blog also shared her story about dealing with dehydration on a recent training walk in this post.  

The best way to counteract dehydration is to properly hydrate during your training walks.  Amy from the Orlando 3 Day group shared her tips about hydration and reviewed the new Gatorade G-Series in this helpful post. 

In the final post highlighting safety this week, Beckie from The Divine Secrets of the Ta Ta Sisterhood talks about how to deal with injuries during training in this post.

Lauri of the 60 Mile Thoughts blog puts the idea of walking in the rain into perspective in this excellent post.
