101 years old and running a marathon!  |
|
 I just watched a news clip on this 101 year old man from England who works 3 days week washing vans, and is going to run the 26 mile Brithish Marathon soon. He works to pay for his stout beer) I find that totally incredible. The man doesn't look a day over 80!

4.  whittby (1951) | 8 months ago |  I found the story and video. Here is the link below. You have to see him - no one would ever place him older than 80 is right. Here's a case for getting someone's genes looked into - wow. You have to watch past the blackberry commerical on the video. Some of the other older folks on there are something else as well. Fascinating, tks for bringing this up on discussion . whit

| 5. Fishmomma (3323) | 8 months ago |  I think its amazing! The article mentions 17 children wonder how many men will want to have that many children, if they could live that long. I'm glad I was sitting down.

| 6. cripfemme (3162) | 2 months ago |  I would love the link to this article if you still have it. I can't imagine running a marathon at 101. But then my honorary grandmother Barbara Trommer does hardcore political activism at 75. You should the police try to arrest this white haired old woman in a wheelchair. I think they get embarrassed, at least I would hope so. I think we underestimate our old people and just expect them to be incapable. I say, go grandpa, go grandpa, go grandpa, go!
