My 81 yo dad has plantar fasciitis.

When I asked him how he got it, he explained that he was running on the treadmill at 7.5 miles/hour and "it felt so good I pushed it up to 8 and hurt my foot."

My octogenarian father runs 7.5 minute miles. I'm seriously impressed.

I can't run that speed for more than a minute or two. My dad is way fitter than I am, but he's always been this way. In his early 70s, when others stop or at least slow down, he just kept going. Now he's so far off the charts that they don't have any way to compare his cardiac function tests, so he basically just gets told to keep going and come back if anything changes.

Dude, that's amazing!

There's a guy here in town who is a *legend* in the ultrarunning community and I see him around sometimes (usually in the grocery store) and am just in awe. This guy is *still* planning on toeing the line for WS100 this year, at 70 years old. I love when people just keep doing what they love.
