  • 98 year old ups her training for races

    Most people in their 10th decade would be thrilled to
    finish any kind of race. At age 98, Betty Lindberg is
    so competitive, she hired a coach to help get her
    speedier for her approaching 10K.

    “I don’t have interest in knitting or crocheting anymore,
    but I still feel compelled to get out there and move,”
    she says. She plans to run in the Peachtree Road Race
    in Atlanta on July 4.

    I think we can all agree -- those of us not suffering from
    a narcissistic personality disorder, trying to obstruct --
    that for everyone pushing 100 who can run, there are
    thousands who can walk and probably even more who
    can wade.

    Thus, by the power of your disorder, you have proven
    yourself wrong. Again.

    Surely you are used to it.
