At 101 I'll be happy to be able to walk a 100 yards.
Good for you Larry Lewis.

At 100+ the only thing that will motivate me to go 100 yards will be another cup of coffee, or a pretty girl which ever I see first. lol

I run to the bathroom and I run to the kitchen but there is no way I'm going to try to run 100 yards.
