Blind runner to compete in London Marathon
BODY:
When blind runner Maria Williams needed a new running guide, she never imagined a world champion runner would put her hand up.
EXTENDED BODY:
When blind runner Maria Williams needed a new guide, she never imagined a world champion would put her hand up.
Williams has been vision impaired since birth and lost her sight 13 years ago when she was in her early 30s. She started running just three years ago with a work colleague from the Ministry of Social Development.
When she moved to Wellington last year she needed to find a new running guide; champion runner Melissa Moon took up the job.
"I'd reached a time in my career where I felt I'd done enough for myself. I've had 20 years competing for New Zealand internationally and I was ready to jog for fitness and fun. But then someone said to me Maria was keen and I thought, yes!" Moon said.
It became a lot more than fitness and fun. Moon realised just how talented Williams was and instead of taking her on a once a week run as a guide she became Maria's trainer. They've competed in several races and are now off to the London Marathon on April 26.
Williams said the training was not easy and Moon pushed her hard.
"She really knows how to train. Now I'm tackling it like a professional. Sometimes I have thought about falling over so I wouldn't have to do this. But then I just focus on other things like my posture and breathing."
Her times have improved dramatically. She can now run a kilometre in 4 and a half minutes and recently completed a half marathon in 1 hour and 53 minutes.
Moon said Maria had what it took, not just physically but mentally.
"She gets it, she's tough, not afraid to put herself on the line."
Williams is the first blind New Zealand woman to compete at the para-athletics world marathon championships.
Maria Williams and Melissa Moon spoke to Kathryn Ryan on Nine to Noon.

Marty Duda's artist of the week: Jimmie Dale Gilmore
BODY:
Texas-based singer-songwriter Jimmie Dale Gilmore is just one of many excellent artist to emerge from the Austin music scene. Gilmore got his start in the early 1970's when he teamed up with his buddies Joe Ely and Butch Hancock to form the now-legendary Flatlanders. They barely released one album in 1972 (it only came out on 8-track tape) but it cemented Gilmore's reputation as a premiere songwriter thanks to his tune Dallas. All three men went on to have acclaimed solo careers with Gilmore finally releasing his first album in the late 1980s. With the re-issue of The Flatlanders' album in 1990, Jimmie Dale's legacy was enhanced even more and his album, After Awhile, released a year later is considered his finest. Since then, The Flatlanders have reunited from time to time and Jimmie Dale Gilmore has continued to record and perform as a solo artist. His latest, 2011's Heirloom Music, features a collection of old-time country and bluegrass tunes. Jimmie Dale Gilmore will perform at Auckland's Tuning Fork on Monday, April 20th.
