Scott Jurek follows the Running Commentary Way

[El Gordo]

I've been following the blog of this blind runner for a while. The post to which I've linked there just gave me a little jolt as to how we take for granted that we can go out and train: "Now I do usually run into objects that are placed on my route, there is nothing I can do about this I accept the fact I may run into the odd street cones, roadkill or man at work sign.
