Meet Fauja Singh. He's a 104 year old world record holding runner. At age 100 he captured eight world age group records...in one day! Let's just say, the competition in the 100+ age group is a little watered down. And I can't lie, I kind of feel like it's a little ostentatious to grab all the records in one day. Kind of rubbing our nose in the fact that he can set records when-ever-he-feels-like-it. It's Fauja's world and we're just living in it. As he didn't start running until he was 89, there was a fleeting glimmer of hope that I could follow in his footsteps, so to speak. But when he attributed his success to going to bed early and abstaining from smoking, drinking, eating meat or fried foods...I say Fauja that shit!
