totally inspired by older couple

While I was at the indoor track today there was a 90 yr old couple there walkng laps.

She had her oxygen on wheels behind her as they walked.

I told them they were just wonderful and truly and inspiration.

She said to me, "If you don't use it you dont' have anything left to use."

I just think they are wonderful!!!!!

That's neat, Peanut. I like her spunk! Did you see that Guiness awarded a lady the Oldest Living Person title yesterday? She is 114 years old!
 
That's great!Reminds me of a

That's great!

Reminds me of a recent event I was in...it was a "Fight For Air Climb" event benefiting the American Lung Association. The goal was to climb 59 flights up a skyscraper in downtown Denver (more than 1,000 steps!)

You wouldn't believe some of the people going into the stairwell with oxygen tanks! Tough people! I hope nothing slows me down despite all odds like that. Amazing! :)
 
That is so neat. We also

That is so neat. :) We also have a very old guy in the neighbourhood and he's still jogging on an almost daily basis. He seems to have suffered from stroke because he's kind of lopsided but he doesn't give in. A huge inspiration.

Have you ever heard of Ruth Frith? She's a 98-year-old Australian woman (probably older by now), and she's still taking part in the Olympics for Eldery People. They are called the World Masters Games.

Susafras, the videos make me feel really young at 62 :)



If they are still having them I will be running ( hopefully BF ) in the Empire State Senior Games again this year.

I got invited to the National Senior Games in Houston for this year but it will be way too expensive for me to go .

Peanut is representing! Go Peanut!

That Ruth is something else. I thought that was funny that they are going to have to make a category for 100 and over just for her, since "she refuses to act her age." Adorable lady!
 
TJ yes, Ruth is great isn't

TJ yes, Ruth is great isn't she. Got to love her spunk!



Jschwab I think it was by default. Probably some of the leaders couldn't make it so they went down the list. HA HA HA.

But I did get invited so that's cool. It is for the 5k road race.

Well, I just watched the

Well, I just watched the trailer for that movie!!!! Now I am inspired and I think I am going to really train for speed.

I think I can do it. I WANT to do the Nationals in 2013 and I want to earn it.

So, here I go.

Also, in April I will be co coaching a Girls On the Run at a local school here in Cortland NY.

Check out the GOTR site I have below and I bet some of you will be trying to get one started in your area or start coaching if there is one.

There is a girls on the run in Battle Creek- where I work, I've looked to their site for locations to run since I don't know the area well...

I am very inspired and added that to my queue..
