101 year old marathon runner
Buster Martin is running in next month’s London Marathon.
He’s 101 years old, the father of 17 children, and he holds three world title records for the oldest person to run the 5K, 10K and the half marathon.
He also works 3 days a week, trains at a gym, and, likes his beer:
“He smokes, drinks, stays out late, which is probably why he is still alive,” said Charlie Mullins, the managing director of the plumbing company where Martin cleans vans.
I was going to continue, but now I’m distracted by the fact that he gets more exercise than I do.
