    Says he's cutting back to "just eight to nine miles of running a day".

    They'll tell you that failure is not an option.  That's ridiculous.  Failure is always an option.  It is the easiest and most readily available option.  It's your choice though.

      For some reason I cannot access the link (I get an error message) but I LOLd at the just 8-9 miles a day.  That could be me in 60 years.

      As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

            I imagine this is about Faujah Sing (spelling?). He set the world record for oldest marathoner at 101 or something like that and did it in 7+ hours if I remember correctly. I hope I will still be running when I'm ancient. Wink
