Could you run a marathon... at 100 years old?

A 100 year old man ran and finished a marathon in Toronto this past week. That is an amazing accomplishment not only for a 20 year old man but for a 100 year old man. He started running when he was only 89 years old and finished it with a time just over 8 hours. He had a lot of support behind him.

I wish that I could run a marathon as I am now, I do not even know how a 100 year old man could do it. Running a marathon is larger than my best goal at this time. I do not see how a man or a woman over 100 could do it but I guess it can be done. To him I say good luck and job well done!.

What do you think about that...Let me know....

  1. Wow! That is amazing!It's nice to hear when older people do amazing things like that. I worked in a nursing home for many years and I forget that not all people that are +90 year old are so dependent and not mobile. He is truly inspirational.
