Post race now. I am still training, yet tapering down in distance and intensity. I decided to run at 8mph which was my half marathon average from Saturday. I ran for around 6 and a half miles. This time I did the double knitting and put in a new word, "I'LL REM..." is as far as I got. Double Knit means that it is reversed in colors on the back side and very thick yet stable. I worked with 14 loops on my fingers, more than most other training scarves that I have done, yet half as wide with the finished product.
The training blog for David Babcock AKA "the Knitting Runner" who broke the Guinness World Record for "Longest Scarf Knit Whilst Running a Marathon". David describes his progress and training here for future escapades in knitting while running and fundraising for Alzheimer's.
