When was the last time you ran a marathon, It is always the negative people that no one can stand end up invoking the parental rights and cling on to kids because no one else will talk to them.

Each year since 2008, the number of seniors running the Vancouver half- and full-marathon has increased, nearly doubling for both septuagenarian men and women. To “recognize and reward” these competitors, the BMO Vancouver Marathon introduced new age categories for the 2013 race. Runners aged 70 and over were previously grouped in one running class but will now be grouped by five-year increments from 76-80, 81-85, 86-90, 91-95 and 96-100. Eleven women and 40 men registered for the 70-and-over age group in 2008, and the numbers increased every year since. In 2012, 36 women and 74 men in that category ran the 41st installment of the scenic Vancouver race.Senior runners are an inspiration for all racers, said Charlene Krepiakevich, the executive director of the Vancouver International Marathon Society. “We really wanted to distinguish their achievements and continue to encourage all runners to keep a healthy lifestyle.” - See more at: BMO Vancouver Marathon chases senior runners with new age categories - Vancouver Courier

the more physically active you are, the more independent you wish to be. My inlaws are healthy but that doesn’t mean they have no health problems. my FIL has had cardiac stents, takes a ton of meds for his heart, MIL has diabetes, and she’s a breast cancer survivor. They still manage to live a very active fun life. FIL still goes hunting in Pennsylvania and upstate NY which is quite a drive from here. 2 years ago, my FIL drove from NY to Florida(more than 12 hour drive i believe). nothing older people cant do. ofcourse they love their kids and love spending time with all of them, but they also like having their own lives.
