Agreed. You feel fully awake and energized. First the adrenaline and then, after extended effort, the endorphins. It's a universal experience. She probably doesn't get endorphins, though, from running for 11 minutes. :-)

@linjubar 5 лет назад

What amazes me is how her joints hold up at 102. I work out 5-days a week, but don’t run because of arthritis and knee pain, and I’m a few decades younger. I really wish I could run, but it would cripple me. I don’t know how these older people do it without injuring their joints. It’s truly amazing.

This just change my view on age and motivated me. Much love for Ms. Hawkins

@alwaysuseless 5 лет назад

She came in last in the 80+ age bracket, but she was the only runner over 100. So a new record for the 60-meter dash for age 100+! And she is running, not walking. You can see at playback speed 0.25 that there is a fraction of a second when both feet are off the ground. Her 60-meter time of 24.75 sec amounts to a 11 min 4 sec mile. That's faster than most people walk (15 minute mile).

What I wrote has nothing to do with race, but simply of being human. People gave a 102 year old lady who is running a thumbs down. That has nothing to do with what you wrote, but everything to do with people acting without humanity, for which this planet with over 8 billion in population has a sufficient number of great people, that we don't need anymore jackasses.

My grandmother died just now, at 102, and not from old age, but from a silly accident. She could have lived still. My mum is 80 and she is running for the bus. When she sees it in the bust stop, standing there, she shoots out. She looks 65. No walkers or any aid, not a single medication whatsoever. Interesting. I think the life we live now, who are young now , they suffer a lot ....due to comfort.
