There's Hope For Us All

You would think that an 8 hour marathon wouldn't draw much attention or garner any awards, but you would be wrong. 

Roaming Coorespondent and Blog Muse Rob Whiteside sent me the story of Fauja Singh, who just completed the Toronto Marathon in a world record time of 8 hours and some inconsequential minutes.  Fauja started running marathons at the age of 89 and has completed 8 of them.  At the age of ninety, he ran 5:40:01.  At the Toronto Marathon, Fauja set world records for 100 year-olds at every distance from 100 meters to 5000 meters and the marathon.
