I’d first like to say, thanks for so much info. on joggling. I’m thinking about starting a joggling club in New York City. No matter how small, I think it would be worth it and certainly fun. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

Hi,

Great site, thanks for making the resource available.

I exercise most days including running and I have come accross the problem of my ear buds (headphones) getting very smelly and therefore also making my ears stink! Not a nice problem.

Have you heard of this problem and are there any good solutions???

Thanks

Don

Hi Perry,
thank you for your Email. Yesterday I arrived in San Francisco.
Unfortunately I did not find the time to joggle in Atlanta.

I am considering buying a laptop so I can post from my Bike Tour to Istambul (starting in Germany) and from Moscow Marathon. I will send you the posts when I have written anything.

In the meantime you might want to have a look at my blogspot page – I did all the posts in English and German, maybe I’ll add french later on.

Have a nice joggling day,
Jonas

(thanks again for the contact with Runner’s World for the NYC Marathon 2006 – too bad it didn’t work out…)

Hello, I can run a sub 5 mile while juggling, and am currently a distance runner at Carthage College north of Chicago. I would like to get involved in the Joggling community and would love to compete in some sort of joggling race.

Tyler,

Send me an email. I’d like to do an interview with you.

Perry, 44
