Good for them
Good for them both! May we all be that healthy at 100+.
Rather watch them than these Woke Olympic and at least they aren’t gendered confused even at their great ages.
The video is impressive. They’re both pretty fast.
Maybe they’ll have some children.
I just noticed that Orville Rogers died a year after the race in that video. But still, active to the end, which is great.
Congratulations.
RIP Mr. Rogers.
He was a WW II bomber pilot.
Larry Lewis (1867-1974) was another centenarian runner of note.
Fauja Singh ran the full Toronto marathon at 92. He is now 110.
Ms Julia lives two blocks away and is very much loved in my neighborhood
Ho li cao! They’re fast! Really fast.
