Marathon Runner Finishes Race at 100



Marathon Runner Finishes Race at 100 <- You have go to read this article. Some call him the Turbaned Tornado.   According to the Jagran Post,  Singh says his secret is living his life without smoking or alcohol, eating a vegetarian diet. His diet consists of curries and berries and little else. He also exercises every day putting in about 10 miles per day, walking and running. Despite the clean living and exercise regime, he still came in a full six hours behind the winner. Of course, the winner is 38 and Singh is 100 years old and is called the Turbaned Tornado by some.
Singh has become the oldest athlete runner to finish a marathon. Singh was born in India and did not start running marathons until he was in his late eighties, right after the demise of his family. Fauja began running marathons and has no current plans to stop. Singh holds the Record for the 90 year old age group that he obtained at age 92. Wow I know so many people in their 30's that give up on doing things because they think they are too old.  Then you hear a story like this and it totally reforms your train of thoughts.  He should be an inspiration to all of us for real!!
