94-YEAR-OLD WOMAN FINISHES HALF-MARATHON

Harriette Thompson, a 94-year-old cancer survivor, became the oldest woman to finish a half marathon at the San Diego Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon on Sunday. Thompson clocked 3 hours, 42 minutes, 56 seconds. That’s an average of 17 minutes per mile for 13.1 miles. Thompson, who has battled jaw and skin cancer, didn’t take up marathon running until age 76 and completed 16 full San Diego Marathons between 1999 and 2015. She became a viral celebrity in 2015 when she finished the San Diego marathon in 7 hours, 24 minutes. After Sunday’s run, she joked, “The whole experience was enjoyable except for the potholes.”
* Every time she hit a pothole, she had to stop and re-adjust her dentures.
* Then Harriet had to leave – she was scheduled to compete on American Ninja Warrior Sunday night.
* She’s going head-to-head with Betty White.
* It’s the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon, and she’s actually older than rock ‘n’ roll.
* I’d make a joke, but I have a rule: never make fun of anyone who can outrun you.
