101-Year-Old Fauja Singh Breaks His Own Record Marathon Time

I posted here last October about Fauja Singh, the India-born Brit who broke the marathon record for over-100-year-olds in the Toronto Marathon.  Singh ran in yesterday's London Marathon an incredible 7:49:21, smashing his own previous record of 8:11:05.  He is retiring from running marathons but states that he will continue running shorter distance races, 5k to half marathon, and wants "to be remembered as the person who ran till the end."
