Hi Jon
A customer came in today to the solano store and we started talking about the races she's run, etc.  She just ran NYC marathon this past Sunday and said next time she runs a marathon she wants to be a part of the Achilles Heel training group.  I guess the Achilles Heel group is a group of runners who help sight-impaired runners train and race.  I told her about BORP and she gave me her card if you know of anyone that would need a sighted runner to train with.  I remember you told me of a blind runner awhile ago - do you know of anyone now that needs someone to train with?  I have all of her contact info if you want it.  She runs 12-13 min miles.  She works at Genentech but lives close to the Solano store.
lemme know!
