Good for her. But she is not that old and she has some kick ass calf muscles.

That's very impressive. I hope to get there someday, even if it takes me until I am old.

She is 65.5. That is old to be running 22 miles on a training run.
She does it because she is vain. She loves the medals she gets in the marathons. |

That is amazing. Good for her.
My mother did the 50/20 a few years back. I still don't know how she did it. Then a couple of year later, just to prove it wasn't a fluke, she did it again.

It's an activity supported by BSA (Boy Scouts of America). You try to walk/run 50 miles in 20 hours or less. Our ward did it last summer. We are going to do it again in a year or two.

My mom just had a training run last Sat. of 27 miles.
I guess maybe she is scared that she might come in 2nd place this year. |
