93 YEAR OLD FELLA RUNS MARATHON

93 YEAR OLD FELLA RUNS MARATHON

A 93-year-old British man named Fauja Singh (pictured, centre) finished a 21 km marathon in Toronto last weekend.

I wonder what Mr. Singh thought as he took his first steps on a 21km journey. How did he get to the point of actually being at the start line? Was it clean living, a dark cloaked figure pounding at his heels, or just lots of viagra and no where to go. Maybe his whole life has been like a marathon.

I find myself living my life in a 100 meter sprint for people with no direction. Go go go go go. Actually in the last year I find myself slowly moving up to the 200 meters, then the 1500 meters and finally seeing myself in a marathon. OF course I'm a the start line now, catching my breath and taking my first steps forward. It has taken me years to get here. I have only been training for sprints so it's hard to slow down.

Way to go Mr. Singh. 91 doesn't seem so old to me now, so I'll slow down and make each step a worthwhile one!
