This photo is from today. This morning I did one hour on the treadmill while finger knitting. I went through one whole skein of Lion Brand Hometown USA. The scarf is 12 stitches across. I did 7 miles, which is 8 1/2 minute miles. I am in school again and things are busy but I can get to the gym 3 mornings a week. The last two weeks I have done 8 miles in an hour without knitting. Just before school started I was able to do a 14 mile run and a couple of 10 mile runs.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.
