You’re Never Too Old to Run…a Marathon.
Meet Buster Martin.
He is a man on the move.
Last year he was in the British band, The Zimmers, who made their way up the charts with a remake of the old Pete Townsend song ‘My Generation’. Nothing unique there, except that the band was made up of a group of pensioners with a combined age of over 3000 years. The youngest was 64. The oldest was 99. And they were great.
Just in case you missed it….
Well, it seems that Buster has moved on to bigger and better things. He signed on as an ‘agony uncle’ for men’s magazine FHM, offering guidance to a younger generation.
And he is running marathons. Just last week he ran a half marathon in 5 hours and 13 minutes. Now he has his sights set on the 26 kilometer London Marathon.
At a 101, he hopes the be the world’s oldest competitive runner.
This is one man who obviously doesn’t believe that age should hold you back.
Just goes to show what exercising the brain and the body will do.
Go Buster! We are keeping our fingers crossed for you.
