The oldest man on the day!

Last year teachers – like yours truly - were the largest profession to run the marathon… got to be the best at something.

However...

The oldest marathon runner to complete the Marathon was 101! And called Buster. However as this link shows this may not be true… as some people think he may only be in his late 90’s… still there’s not enough people called Buster in this day age and he's running for a good cause so who cares...

Buster keeps himself busy as he still holds down a job with Pimilco Plumbing…

As you can see he – believes in taking on carbs as he goes just like all the other top athletes…

In 2007 - 50,039 people applied to run the marathon, 36,396 started and 35,694 finished… so 702 stopped half –way and went to the pub never to be seen again. And 13,643 didn’t make it through training… Which I can understand as I can’t run at the moment due to a sore thigh, hip, leg or something.

So Buster even if he is under a hundred is doing good and doing pretty well.

Look out for him
