RIP Johnny Kelley

[mamajoan]

Johnny Kelley died yesterday at the age of 97. He was famous for his dedication to the Boston Marathon, which he ran a whopping 58 times -- the last time being in 1992 when he was 84 years old. He won it twice and came in second seven times. Talk about impressive! When I'm 84, I'll be happy if I can walk down the block, let alone run 26 miles!

"Rest in peace" seems inappropriate. "Run in peace" is more like it. If there's an afterlife, he's probably jogging his way through it right now. :)
