The most inspiring runner ever

redefiningmyself

On Sunday inToronto a runner set some new records world wide.

He finished the 42km marathon in just over 8 hours. He was quite happy with that as he figured it would have taken him 9 hours.

Get this.....he's 100 years old!!!!!! AND he only took up running for the first time when he was 89 years old!!!!

Talk about inspiration!!

Here's the article if you want to check it out....

Now just imagine what us young whipper-snappers could do if we put our minds to it??

One of the BEST things that I have ever heard related to running..... "The only thing required for you to be a runner is to run!" :flowerforyou:
