In June 2019, Julia Hawkins a 103 year old ran a 100 meter dash. Even more interesting, this same woman, 2 years ago at 101, set a record running the same 100 meter dash. She ran it in 39.62 seconds. In her interview with the New York Times, she gave advice that would be useful to anyone: 

“Keep yourself in good shape if you can. Have many passions. And look for magic moments. That is something that I have done in my life — think of the things that are magic moments that happen to you, like sunsets and sunrises, rainbows, beautiful birds, music and people’s lovely comments to you.
