wow, thats pretty amazing. that would be so incredibly hard to do. all of his training is on a treadmill.....that would be so boring.
it says in the article he is 4 guides that switch in and out to help him finish. they are connected by a pipe which they each hold. the guide tells him where he is on the course and if there are any potholes, bumps, etc.

Wow! That's pretty cool, being blind, not seeing where you are, and running a marathon, that's just amazing.

yeah, not cool to be blind, but cool how he can still run a marathon. many people who can see cant even run a marathon.
