GUIDE RUNNER

If I haven't already told you how AAAHHH-MAZING Cruisin with Cricket is - then I haven't done my job. Really. She's THE most inspirational person I am privileged to be friends with and work along side of.
Becky wanted to start running again. The issue at hand - sight. Becky needed a little help in the vision department. Usually Cricket does the guiding for her- but in the circumstance of running... I filled in for Cricket. It was an absolute HONOR to be Becky's eyes during our run.

The night before our first run, I was a little nervous. So I did my homework. I researched websites on how to be a guide runner. It's awesome. N'uff said.

This little "snippet" might give you a tiny glimpse into the world of Becky's view each day. Told you she's incredible. I can't wait for our next run.

Shan, That is so touching that you would do so much 'research' to run with me! I love you and feel very blessed that you are my friend. You were/are an amazing guide. Thank you! Look forward to the next time. Steve and I decided this clip is me a few years back ... such a great way to have someone understand. Thank you! I'm excited to be able to share with others that would like to understand. See you on Monday.

I agree with you that Becky is an ispiration & I feel blessed to call her my friend. I wish I could run with the two of you, but I live in Oregon. I started adding a very slow jog into my daily walking rountine, just to spice it up & to burn more calories. By the way, nice to meet you. Debi
