Since taking up running twelve years ago, the Polish pensioner got a new zest for life.
Aged 104 he's just set a new European record for men in the Centenarians Event at an athletics meet at Wroclaw Stadium recently with a time of 32.79 seconds, one second faster than the previous record holder, a young Japanese man
aged only ninety six.
Stan's life has been an interesting one and you can read his autobiography here.
Stanislaw says he doesn't go to the doctor and he does everything and anything in his life
that pleases him.
I'm with you Stan the Man.
Well I would be if I could catch you...
That's fantastic.....I love inspiring stories like that. But on the other hand doing everything that pleases you isn't always good for you!!! So I wonder how he managed to choose all the the good things - maybe he's got good choice genes...!
ReplyDeleteApparently he's been pleased by the right things!
DeleteWhat a great role model and something to aspire to.
ReplyDeleteHe's certainly got a determined look about him, but he really ought to do something about those loose shoelaces. It would be undignified to biff on the track in front of all those spectators.
ReplyDeleteI think he's got a bad back Mr Concerned and can't bend down to tie them...
DeleteAn inspiration. Lets all get out there and get some of that seratonin pumpiing. Pip
ReplyDeleteWoW Good Job
