I was watching Boston on t.v. when the wheelchair division started. There is something I don't understand about certain "runners" and that is those that need someone to push them. I think it is perfectly commendable to run the marathon in a wheelchair if you are pushing yourself but if someone else is pushing you where is the glory in that? The person doing the pushing might feel a sense of self importance but what is gained? And why not let people push baby strollers in the race? "My baby can't race himself so I must give him the opportunity" Silly you say. He will grow up and get his chance. But what if he wouldn't grow up? Shouldn't I be allowed to push him in the race? But isn't that why there are people who race in honor of loved ones? Where do you draw the line without seeming callous? I think if you can race on your own either on feet or in a wheelchair you should be allowed. Anyone else have opinions?
