At 100 years old, do you think you'll still be running, or even living? Well back in October, the oldest marathon runners set a new record. Fauja Singh of London finished a marathon in eight hours and twenty-five minutes and eighteen seconds. Fauja was 100 years old and successfully ran the marathon. Not only is it a personal accomplishment to finish this event, but his time will be documented in the Guinness Book of World Records.
I don't know what you think, but I think this is extremely impressive. I hope at 100 I’m still alive and well. Congratulations to this man and this should be encouragement to runners everywhere. Good luck and stick with it! You are never too old to set out to do something.
