Did she finish? I am totally confused how an 82 year old Woman was ahead of all those people who were passing her??? Many looked very young... Love the video but could not enjoy it because I was so baffled.. LOL...

There is a 65 year old lady with guns like Madonna who runs in my area. She ALMOSt beat me in my 10K...UGH!!! I want to be like her someday. Winning age group awards for sure.. Bling Bling
