Passage Two
A new record for the oldest woman to run a marathon has been set, but it may not stand for more than a year. Harriette Thompson, 92, said that she hasn't ruled out running the Rock'n'Roll Marathon in San Diego again next year. Harriette finished in hours, 24 mi- nutes, 36 seconds, the BBC reports, coming close to the over-90 record of 7 hours, 7 minutes, and 42 seconds she set in 2014, despite having a very difficult year between marathons. "I couldn't train very well because my husband was very ill and I had to be with him for some time, and then when he died in January I had some treatments on my leg,"Thompson, who was in her 70s when she ran her first marathon, tells the AP. "I was just really thrilled that I could finish today."
At 92 years and 65 days old, Thompson is 46 days older than Gladys Burrill was when Burrill finished the 2010 Honolulu Marathon. "I can't believe I made it, Thompson tells the Charlotte Observer. "I was really tired at one point. Around Mile 21, I was going up a hill and it was like a mounta. But then felt better is sort of crazy at my age. I can't do it. g down the hill. And my son Brenny kept feeding me all these wonderful carbohydrates(碳水化合物) that kept me going.” Thompson-whose-- parents, three brothers, and husband all died of cancer-tells the Observer that the San Diego mara-thon' s fundraising for the Leukemia白血病) Society is what inspired her to run and may ven bring her back again next year.
