There are those of use who have explicitly “signed on” to the THPL journey. And along the way we will, each of us, accomplish great feats and achieve great things by applying ourselves and using all that we have in our power to do more and more. And then there are those who live the THPL as a result of how they live and what they do. Harriet Thompson is one of these – she became just recently the oldest women to complete a marathon at 93 years old. Add to that she is a cancer survivor and well, it is hard not to be totally impressed with her accomplishments. For those of us who think it is too late to start – Harriet started running marathons at 76 years old. So, when we have feelings of “I cannot do it” just think of Harriet, and see what else you can start or do – according to Harriet you will be better for it.

Loving life, the day I run a marathon at 93 years old!
