Not copy him...no way I could run marathons, but...it's an excellent object lesson.
To see an old guy (he finally deserves that title!) be active and involved like that, well into his 90s, that's encouraging.

Not a particularly remarkable photo, I admit, but that isn't the point. Johnny Kelley won the Boston Marathon twice - in 1935 and 1945 - and
completed the race an amazing 61 times in all (including 18 top-ten
finishes). His last one was in 1992 at age 84. He served as Grand
Marshal at the marathon from that point on and spoke to the runners
before the race every year at the pre-race gathering area in Hopkinton,
MA. That's where I got this shot of him singing "Young at Heart" as he
did every year :) Check out this photo: He's 95 years old in this shot!
He died October 7 at age 97. Still a class act.
