[Blindtlk] Running While Blind, How to Link to Guide

[Chris Nusbaum]

Mike,

I'd never thought about a jump rope; that's a great idea, and 
would probably work very well for me since jump ropes are usually 
readily accessible in a school's gym's storage room.  I've always 
used one of those guide tethers which I believe APH sells, but 
the jump rope idea would probably be even better!

On a similar yet slightly different note, how would I use my cane 
while running? I've always found it to be tricky to tap my cane 
like I would if I were walking when I'm running.  Does anybody 
run independently using a cane, and if so, how is it done?

Chris

I did it the same way.  In fact, a jump-rope isn't a bad thing to 
use since
it has handles at both ends.

When I have done it we used a short length of rope to which we 
both held.  I
am not an expert runner though, so there may be a better way.

p.s.  I am not even an amateur runner, just a lazy blind guy!
