I saw this on TV sometime ago, didn't they say in the end that the time could not be made official because there was a problem with the clock? In any case he is an example of being up and about and not in bed and sick.

Sounds like my Causin, he is in his late 70's and just the other day road his bike 80 miles! Plus, probably not a year ago, he broke his leg falling down some stairs(He was wearing some sandels that were to big for him). He says that he feals better than he did in his 60's.

Well, 30.86 seconds. I can beat that and I'm not even 100 yet. Imagine how much faster i can do it when I reach 100.

Quite an achievement. Reminds me of one sportsman of our country. His name is Leon Štukelj (passed away at age of 100 just few days before 101st Birthday.) He was an olympic gymnastics champion on several tools. He lived in my birthtown and we could see him running almost every day in the city park. Even at his old age he could still do a lot of things that you wouldn't expect.

One statement he made :

»My recipe how to live to be a 100 is no secret: a life without cigarettes; moderation in food and alcohol; daily exercise and sufficient sleep,«

It seems people who are old and take good care of their body and soul can do "miracles".
