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

[David Andrews]

You shouldn't assume that it is the blind guy who is holding the 
sighted person back.  Maybe the blind guy is a better runner, and the 
sighted guy is holding him/her back.

What little of this I have done it works best if the people run side 
by side -- so if the runners aren't matched then someone has to slow 
down, or someone has to speed up.
