I heard yesterday that a woman has set the record as the youngest ever to run a marathon in all 52 states. I don't know who she is and I am afraid to look it up. She is probably 14 and started running marathons at age 2 by pushing her stroller to Disney World. She is also probably president of her class, practices the piano 6 hours a day, is a state champion gymnast and delivers meals to senior citizens.
I can't take these over achievers with these stupid records anymore. Like the youngest to kid to sail around the world blindfolded, the oldest person to climb Mt. Everest with a walker and the first golfer to get a hole in one while snorkeling.
Let's stick with running, jumping and lifting weights like the ancient Greeks in the first Olympics. The 2 year olds training to swim to Europe under water are just going to have to relax and take a nap.
