Crocheting a one row for every 3 miles (5K) walked to make a "Life-ghan" with Cris.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Total Miles This Week: 10
Total Miles in 2013: 34
Rows allowed: 11
Rows completed: 11
If you remember, I only had nine colors in my basket last week. As I was walking one day, I started thinking that it would be cool if I used 10 colors. That would mean that every repeat is 30 miles and would make it easier to track the amount of miles I walked. So, after a trip to the yarn store, I'm now using 10 colors.

I is easy to see that I've walked at least 33 miles. I need 2 more miles in order to add another row. I am finding it to be an amazing motivator now that I'm over being sick!

I bet that is a good motivator.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of your coming up with a new crochet idea while out doing your walk. LOVE it - really merges the two: crafting and health. I do think it would give you a better visual, a quick reference, as to the distance on changing to 10 colors.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work!
What a unique idea! Love it! Would you mind helping me spread the word about Fitness Friday and using the FF button in your post or on your sidebar? Thanks so much!
