Check out this video - he's in it a couple times and at the very end, "saluting" the camera. Smile

Apparently, this guy has a routine in his races. At each one, at the halfway point, he drinks a pint of beer and has a cigarette.


I believe the proper British terminology is a pint and a fag, I just hope he doesn't bonk. Can you still do that at 101?

I hope I'm still living at at that age let alone running.

I stand corrected, the guy appears to be legit. Still looks a lot younger, especially the first photo. Wow.

I'm getting more suspicious about his real age after watching that video.

But just to be on the safe side, I'm gonna keep running!

If this dude can run a 5 hr marathon at that age, gives me hope that I can....

ROCK ON MAN!Big grin


Actually, he ran the half marathon in 5 hours.

I need to start doing the pint of beer and cigarette thing when I start running marathons. haha

Well. Maybe not 101 years old.
It's all fun and games until the flying monkeys attack.
