I have run a 5k before...well walked it quickly. But now I've signed on for the perfect 5k - No running (or walking) involved AND its even cheater friendly!!!
The Knit Girllls podcast is sponsoring a yarn crafting 5k starting May 27th The challenge: to craft 5,000 meters through spinning, weaving, knitting, or crocheting.
The rules for this challenge can be found in the Knit Girllls Ravelry forum: http://www.ravelry.com/discuss/the-knit-girllls/1659273/1-25
Here's the math:
5/27 – 8/15 = 11 weeks 3 days= 80 days.
5,468 yd x 3 ft/yd = 16,404 ft
205.05 ft/day
Or for all you metric people:
5 k x 1,000 m/k = 5,000 m
62.5 m/day
Wish me luck!!!
