[Sportsandrec] runners and joggers

[Rachel Kuntz]

Hi all,

 

I am a new list member so don't know if the topic of running & jogging has
been discussed recently. I have been running or rather jogging for a couple
of years now but still haven't figured out a good system for running with a
sighted guide especially when participating in 5K's. Anyone have suggestions
that have worked for you?

 

I have held a shoestring while running with a sighted guide during a 5k.
This worked okay but never could get the right arm rhythm with my partner.

 

Other questions, I am not sure how to go about getting another person to
train with. My original buddy moved out of the area. 

 

Should I run with my cane? I have some sight so I usually don't have the
cane when running. I found that I couldn't keep the tapping up and remember
to breathe. I tried carrying it folded but didn't like how heavy it was. 

 

Eager for ideas,

 

Rachel Kuntz
