[Sportsandrec] running tethered

[TNABA]

Joe

Thank You so much for sharing this with everyone on the list.

TO all who don't know me, my name is Ricky Jones I am the executive Director 
of the Tennessee Association of Blind Athletes or TNABA. We have partnered 
with Achilles Nashville for this wonderful program. It is fun for the entire 
family. TNABA members can receive added benefits of assistance with 
transportations for those who would like it.

I hope all of you will come out and join us each week.

>>> Hey guys,
>>> I hadn't run with a guide tethered before last night. We went almost 
>>> three miles around a greenway course here in Nashville. It went really 
>>> well, and I went in a little unsure. We only slipped the rope over our 
>>> fingers, which was not what I had feared and pictured. We are doing the 
>>> Achilles program. I urge anyone to find one of their (our) programs in 
>>> your city. It is a national deal where they provide guides to people 
>>> with disabilities. We had a totally blind lady complete her first half 
>>> marathon a couple weeks ago. I don't enjoy running, but running outside 
>>> allows for a better experience that also makes us more in tune and able 
>>> to function as do sighted athletes. It opens another avenue. My only 
>>> complaint is my thighs are killing me today, but I think that was always 
>>> going to be problematic smile. They won't eventually.
>>> Be well,
>>> Joe Shaw, Nashville TN
