Man, 101, to run London MarathonAnd not only that, but ...
Buster is counting down to the London Marathon on 13 April
A 101-year-old man has his sights on the London Marathon in a bid to become the world's oldest competitive runner.
Working plumber Buster Martin ran Sunday's Roding Valley half marathon in Essex in five hours 13 minutes, and is now focusing on London's 26-mile event.
He also found fame when The Zimmers, who had a combined age of more than 3,000 years, scored a hit single last year. (Buster's on the drums in the centre.)The bulldog breed or what?
Eh?

He's an example for us all! (Not the 17 children - it's a bit late for that.) :-)
Ha! You headline did have me fooled ar first. What a guy, eh?
At first glance I thought you'd lost it, Rick.
Seriously though, don't you think this old fellow has? I mean, talk about looking for trouble. All the same, I wish him great things.
