Now that I have been training for knitting a marathon for a few weeks, I have noticed a few things that happen when you are running and finger knitting at the same time. And I want to tell you on my NYC Marathon Diary. It is all true, I swear. 🙂
This week, I ran my longest distance yet: a half marathon! (13.1 miles)
I can confirm that all five of these things happened while I was running this week.
1. People stare at you
You really can’t blame them. I am knitting and running, after all.
2. You drop the yarn.
Sometimes the yarn ball just slips out from under my arm and I can’t help it!
3. You get really sweaty.
Like I have said before: when it’s summer and you are running with wool, you are bound to get pretty hot out there.
4. You get yarn EVERYWHERE.
Seriously. I have been finding yarn on my clothing, my arms…I can’t escape it!
5. You feel so proud of yourself when you finish a run.
Not only did you run those miles, but you knit them too, and that’s pretty impressive.
Every week I am one step closer to the marathon, and WAK is one step closer to reaching our goal for fundraising for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society! You can help by donating here: http://pages.teamintraining.org/nyc/nyc15/MParmalee
See you next week!
