[Sportsandrec] Statistics on Fitness in Blind Community

[Audrey Farnum]

Bill,

You're right on! Thanks for telling it like it is. The difference
between being active and being a couch potato is desire. If you really
want to do it, you find a way and just do it. I have no patience for
excuses. I too am disappointed that the S&R division meetings are so
small compared to other division meetings. But I do appreciate the
enthusiasm and knowledge from the people who do show up. I think blind
people are like people in general. Americans are fat and lazy and all
want a quick fix. Blindness makes fitness a little more complicated,
but blindness makes everything a little more complicated. It's life.
Figure out a way around it an get on with life. I do like these ideas
about doing fitness info for blind people. It would be great content
for an S&R website if we had one. Of course, websites are a lot of
work and I don't have the technical know how, but it would be cool if
we could throw a simple site together.
