Here is a great story from the associated press. An 88 yerar old lady that loves to do Triathalons:

88-year-old woman loves triathlons despite aches and pains

The Associated Press
An 88-year-old Madison, Wisconsin, woman is gearing up for her 12th triathlon.

Mary Stroebe (stroh’ bee) plans to run in the Life Time Fitness triathlon in Minneapolis next month.

Marilyn Franzen is the director the athletic events for Life Time Fitness. She says Stroebe has run a truncated version of the three-stage swimming-biking-running race each of the past three years, finishing in under three hours each time.

But it hasn’t been easy for Stroebe. A breast cancer survivor, she was hit by car while biking in 1993, fell off her bike and cut her hand during the 2003 Life Time and broke her leg this past January skiing.

Stroebe says she doesn’t realize how old she is and still thinks she’s young.

Who says that you are too old, too unhealthy, have bad genes, are too fat, eat too much, are a binger, have bad knees (my running excuse). You can always make the first step to getting into shape
