Hi Jenine,

Well, this isn't really a lot of help, but there was a guy in my class at
Leader last time around who was going to start training for the Boston
marathon when he got home from class.  We kept in touch for a while, and he
told me that he and his dog were training together, and that the dog showed
great stamina for it.  He emphasized that he would never push the dog beyond
his limits, but at that time he had said that his dog was doing very well.
He told me the marathon people were giving him a real hard time about
running the marathon with his dog and no other sighted assistance.  I don't
know if he was ever successful in his bid to run the marathon independently
though.  That was almost 5 years ago now, and we haven't been in touch for a
long time.  The guy's name is Dwight, and last I knew he was still living in
MA.  I have no idea if he is an NFB member or not.  If anybody here knows
him, perhaps they could chime in.

AnnaLisa and Sundance
