Record-breaking grandma

October 14, 2009/ Lisa Carpenter

I'm a fairly inactive person. I've always wanted to be someone with lots of energy who goes for miles-long runs, weeds the yard (front and back!), scrubs the floors and walls, volunteers at the soup kitchen and cooks up a gourmet meal for the family -- all on a daily basis!

Not happening, though. That's just not me. Not even close. I'm proud of myself when I manage to take the dog on his walk and get dinner cooking in the crock pot.

Which is why an Australian grandma -- no, GREAT grandma -- I read about this morning completely floors me. She's 100 years old, she works out every day ... and she's breaking records in the world of sports.

Get a load of this ... then consider what kind of activity you have planned for the day!
