Not acquainted with her, but anyone who runs a marathon, at 86, has my total respect!!! Actually, anyone who runs a marathon, at any age, has my respect.
My husband was a boat captain in the Caribbean. He had a tourist group aboard one day, and they all went snorkeling. One late 80's gentleman put on his snorkel gear and floated off the back of the boat.........well....you probably know the rest of the story. He did NOT float back. All proper procedure was followed, and the new widow was the most gracious person on Earth. She asked that all others aboard have a drink in honor of her DH and not let the day be ruined....and so it was!
