Check out this inspiring piece from the Wall Street Journal about Fauja Singh, who at 100 is now officially the oldest person to complete a full distance marathon. After reading the entire article, though, you get the sense from Mr. Singh that records are way beside the point.
Also be sure to watch the video featuring Joy Johnson, the defending 80-and-over champion in the New York City Marathon—she may just be gunning for Mr. Singh’s record in a couple of decades.
Please weigh in with your current undertakings. How are you challenging yourself to stay young?

I’m pretty active, lacing up just two times a week for now to do kickboxing or zumba but my goal is to makes it out for four times a week. When I get plan and make time for the gym I am always glad I went and undoubtedly feel younger. Currently, I am recovering from a hip injury – keep forgetting that I can’t run without incurring pain for the next week. Frustrating that I actually got out of bed early on the weekend and this is what I get in return? It is upsetting. But once I am pain free and can walk straight again I will hit the dance floor again.
