Welcome to Fit to Knit!

This is a blog for knitters who are beginning a running program, or who are currently running regularly and would like some additional support and motivation from fellow knitting runners* (or runners-to-be!).

You are welcome to sign up to join this blog by e-mailing Cyndi at cyndilu2 at gmail dotcom. Sign ups will continue through September 1.

There are a few ground rules for joining this blog:
1. You must be a knitter (preferably with a knitting blog, although I will make exceptions) who is beginning a running program or would like motivation to continue a running program.

2. You must post an introductory post - tell us who you are, why you want to start/continue running, what training program will you be using, what are your running goals, etc.

3. You must post updates on your training progress regularly, (ideally once a week). Even if you don't run during a week for some reason, post and tell us why. It doesn't have to be a long update - just tell us how many times you ran, how far, how it felt, etc. [this rule is meant to provide you motivation to run - I'm not going to be checking regularly, but please try to participate]

As an additional motivator, at the end of the year I will have a drawing for some knitting goodies. To qualify for the drawing, you must post a progress report once a week between September 1 and December 31.

*Note: I use the phrase "knitting runners" loosely - I do not encourage knitting while running!
