我多年的偶像过了100岁生日了

他叫 Mike Fremont。1922年2月23日出生于辛辛那提。那个时候辛辛那提还是个非常耀眼的城市。纽约最著名的大桥,就是辛辛那提大桥的复制品。

我跟踪麦克老爷爷已经有5年了。他直到今天依然是88岁和90岁的马拉松世界记录保持者,91岁拿到半马记录保持者。69岁时,罹患癌症,医生说要么手术,要么准备后事。他没手术,开始吃素,继续跑步。两年半后肿瘤出血,手术中发现转移被遏制了。

2019年,我来到麦克老爷爷的家乡辛辛那提,参加了一个非常讨人喜欢的飞猪马拉松。Flying Pig Marathon。那一年他97岁了,参加了10K的比赛。

他还继续跑步。平时喜欢划船,那么重的小船,两人抬上抬下的。划船非常锻炼身体的上半,很累人的。他还能做好多引体向上。老爷爷真的有非常好的体魄。他至今口齿清晰,眼明目清的。说话很有中气。

我衷心期望他能永远这样跑下去。但同时也有点担心,这几年一直期望他能跑过100岁。

老爷爷好样的,如今已经平安度过了100周岁。接下来我就就不那么担心了,每多一年都是Bonus。

过生日的时候,别人问他要怎么庆祝?他说最好是个跑步比赛!冲过终点线,然后一个大笑脸。

于是又问,5K比赛?

老爷爷说:嗨,5K那能叫比赛吗?起码10K。

看来他的长寿"秘诀"是他对自己的生命的热爱!"life is wonderful"他在接受采访时说。
