You Have to Read This
I just want everyone to read the story below. This young woman is so inspiring. It just made me really appreciate that I can run. By myself. With my dog. With a friend. On a treadmill. On a trail. On the sidewalk In a race. Wherever. Whenever. The only boundary I have is ME.

This is a local high school in my town. The story is awesome, and very motivating.

Wow, fantastic story. Sniff, sniff. Inspiring.
That's a great story.
I just read this! Thank you for sharing. Truly inspirational and amazing. There are no excuses for a person such as myself!
That is great! My father-in-law was diagnosed with Parkinsons early last year and it has slowed him up in various ways. Since I started running this spring, whenever I want to give up I just tell myself “Gary can't do this… you might be tired, but at least you can…” and I keep going. Thanks for the reminder – the battle is with ourselves alone.
as the mom of a little guy with significant special needs, including being legally blind, I extra loved this. THANK YOU for posting it! 🙂
This is awesome!At the Kaua'i Marathon there was a blind man who wanted to run the half and they put out a call for a guide to run with him. I said I would but they already found someone. He ran with his “running” stick and had the person by his side for any additional support he may need. Love that she has a dog to do that for her!
How inspiring – not just her but everyone who supported her and let her do what she loves.
seriously…doesn't it make you pause and think I will never complain about a crappy run!
She is such an inspiration. It's such a great reminder of being Thankful that I CAN see. Thanks for the post!
