Age 101


Every once in a blue moon there is an inspiring human interest story. You have to look for them carefully and/or with a magnifying glass because sadly they are few and far, far between.

This man is inspiring.

ABC: He Sings, He Runs and He's Only 101
Buster Martin is an unlikely candidate to set a marathon record. He drinks beer, smokes cigarettes and stays out late. And he's 101.

Martin says that in the last weekend, he's completed a 13-mile half marathon that took him a little more than five hours. It would have been faster, he says, but he says he stopped for a beer and a cigarette.

Martin was also part of the seniors' rock 'n' roll group called the Zimmers.
