Diane Friedman, 103-year-old runner🏃♀️
Diane started running at 70 years old!
Her friends made fun of her, telling her that she was too old to play sports!
But Diane didn't pay attention to them. She continued training until she broke a few world records in the Senior Olympic Games in the 100-104-year-old age group!
100 metres - 36.71 seconds
200 metres - 1 minute and 29.78 seconds
She is great! Huge respect
I almost felt like a 103yr old woman as I started the hoop chi + exercise this morning!
My body is only used to my right arm throwing a ball … a LOT!
At 8am I walked into the hall for meditation and The Gypsy was sitting all alone. This is unusual because there are usually 3 or 4 people sitting in the room by the time I arrive.
Before I even sat down, 9 people walked in and filled the seats. That was weird.
It was a great class, even with a new male in the room who wanted to let us all know how clever he was. The Gypsy always knows how to gently handle newbies carrying a chip on their shoulder - it’s pretty to watch.
From there we transitioned to hoop chi exercise.
Except I was the only one in attendance, which worked out well because we practiced the routine for next week when we are assured of at least four others in the room.
It was great practicing my coordination, rhythm, stretching and movement. I know for sure that my rhythm and coordination need work!
Even though it was gentle movement, I could still feel my muscles quietly complaining.
No pain, no gain, right?
After class we sat under the shelter outside chatting for almost 2 hours.
I went to the supermarket afterwards, rode home, made a fruit smoothie, cooked my lunch and put my feet up for a while.
Played with Harley before making dinner.
Last nights leftover chicken mix with cayenne pepper and paprika added to it, then poured over penne pasta and toasted pine nuts sprinkled over the top, served with a salad.
Last nights chicken also had celery, capsicum, leeks, sweet potato, carrot, garlic, spring onions, baby spinach and mushrooms, home made chicken stock, some sour cream, whipping cream, salt, white pepper, fresh dill and a squeeze of half a lemon.
I put it in ramekins and topped with mashed potato and grated cheese, popped in a hot oven for 20 minutes.
Full of nutrients and deliciousness.
Adoring Husband was out all day at his specialist appointments in Brisvegas so BGWLBH and I played trivia without him.
He arrived home safe and sound at 7pm.
Coffee with the art/meditation girls tomorrow morning so it’s time for me to sleep now.
Nite all.
