Remember the Zimmers…

Remember the Zimmers, the British band made up of pensioners with a combined age of over 3000 years.
Here’s a clip to refresh your memory…
Well, it turns out that one of the band members, Buster Martin, is planning on running the London Marathon in April. At a 101, he hopes to be the world’s oldest competitive runner.
This is one man that doesn’t believe that age should hold you back. Still working as a plumber, he is in training for the 26 kilometere marathon and recently ran a half marathon in 13 minutes…
Oh, did I also mention that he is an ‘agony uncle’ for the men’s magazine FHM…
He’s a great example of keeping both the brain and the body on the go.
