3 . Senior citizens with healthy and active lifestyles are a great inspiration for younger people. They show that life doesn’t end when you reach your 30s and above. You may age, but that is not enough reason to stop doing what you love unless you’re having health problems. Age really is just a number.
Physical activities like sports are a hobby that many young people enjoy. Most of them however believe that it will become difficult once they reach senior age. However, Lee Minor can disprove (证明……为误) that, as he is still an active runner, even at age 85. The man from Missouri loves running so much that he recently finished his 600th race. To make the moment even more special, he ran the race on his 85th birthday. Lee Minor has been running races since 1969 — he hasn’t stopped since then.
In his interview with Good Morning America, the 85-year-old mentioned the reasons why he loves running. “I’m a retired psychologist (心理学家), and I worked alone. I traveled a great deal, and having a chance to run with my family was so exciting to me. I often miss them,” Lee said. In race number 603, he was joined by 32 members of his family. Running became their tradition passed down to different generations.
Perhaps his desire to stay with his family kept him going. That love was clearly seen as he showed pictures of them during the interview. From his wife to his great-grandchildren, everyone had already taken part in a race.
He shared life advice with the younger people. “I hope you will never make negative self-comparisons to other people, like, ‘Why can’t I have the hair they have? Why can’t I run as fast as they do?’ Also, be careful about what you tell yourself that you can’t do. We often just limit (限制) our possibilities,” Lee Minor advised.
