Inspirational 100-year-old finishes 100 meter race, celebrates with pushups
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Ida Keeling is absolutely amazing. The 100-year-old not only participated in the 122nd running of the Penn Relay, but she managed to finish her 100 meter race. A barely winded Keeling wanted reporters to know after the race that she’ll be 101 years old in a couple of weeks.
Most people would recover from a race with some Gatorade, perhaps a nice rest -- but not Ida. She dropped down and did pushups on the outside of the track.
We can only hope that we’ll be as cool as you when we’re 100, Ida.
