101 years old and running a marathon!

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.

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 http://abcnews.go.com/International/story?id=4385601&page=1

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!

Really, thats really cool, I hope I am that fit and well at that age, I could not even run a marathon now at 34 never mind 101, its great!

WOw,that is amazing!I adamire him.I guess that's because he stay active about life ,and is a optimistic man.Yes, he is 101years old ,but maybe age is not a problem for him,he can do wantever he want.I think we should all have that kind of spirit,live our life without regret.
