This lady is amazing. I hope I'm half as active as her when I get to be her age. I loved this story so I thought I'd share.

I don't half-ass anything
"I have several close friends who have run marathons, a word that is actually derived from two Swahili words: mara, which means 'to die a horrible death' and thon, which means 'for a stupid T-shirt.' Look it up." - Celia Rivenbark, You Can't Drink All Day if You Don't Start in the Morning
I'd be happy to just get to her age with my wits about me!

Gotta say, running has made me feel twenty years younger. Maybe thirty, maybe forty, I dunno.
Gee, I have to agree. I should be ready for diapers (adult sized) in a year or so of more running!
Hmmm,, is that a good thing?
Love her! Bravo, lady!
