Harriette Thompson became the oldest woman to finish a marathon at 92 years of age. That's 42 kilometers in 7 hours 24 minutes and 36 seconds, and she is probably the most inspiring story I've read today. What a champ! She's a cancer survivor, and ran for the cause. Started running in her seventies? My God, she's so awesome! ![:astonished: :astonished:](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/astonished.png)
If she can be in that good a shape at 92, what the heck is my excuse for being a couch potato at 27. She's my new spirit animal!
