-So You Think You’re Getting Old
Have you every read an article or seen a documentary that made such an impression on you that you’ve thought you would ‘pop’ if you didn’t immediately share it with someone. Yep, I bet you have…well, that just happened to me…guys and gals you just gotta read this article. I found it when I visited YAHOO this morning.
Just the title got me excited ‘The Oldest Marathoner Ever’, firstly because I was never ever able to run an endurance race and next I was curious about just how old this fellow was. You really won’t believe this…but this fellow is 101 years old…nope, this isn’t a typo…the fellow is 101 years old.
He went back to work when he was ‘99′ and he currently works 3 days a week because he was just so bored staying at home.
OMGosh, for those of us that are starting to feel the crunch of years, we really need to re-access this age thing. This fellow is going to run, and he admits he may not be able to complete it, but he is going to enter a marathon. The article goes on to say that he just completed half a marathon in 5 hours and 13 minutes.
Now, how inspirational is that, I may not be able to run but I can walk…so I think I need to get a little bit more active. Sucks, who knows where this could lead.
