And my trainers keep telling me that I need to stop drinking beer until after the race.

Holy crap - that is the most active 80+ person I've ever seen much less 100+. The way he shadow boxed I think he could actually inflict some pain with his hook.

I have found my idol. God, please saint this man!!!! I look 23 and I am 33, but this guy........ I'd guess 80-85.

Dude I'm in the mid of marathon training, I did an 18 miler two weeks ago and had to skip my 20 miler this past weekend due to being sick and a pulled calf that I hurt in a 5K race the weekend before. I'm 34 and I could not even imagine walking at that age much less running at any speed.

there's no freaking way you'd catch me washing vans all day and running a marathon. this guy is a beast. i'll never be half that cool. i may take two "breaks" a day though!

I'm planning a fall marathon (Chicago) so I guess I need to up the beer intake now..... Cheers Buster

Good luck.. Hopefully the weather will be better this year. Last year they had some major problems.
