What's Left to Do at 92? Run a Marathon

(CNN) Harriette Thompson is tougher than you. Seriously.

The Charlotte, North Carolina, native became the oldest woman to complete a marathon when she crossed the finish line Sunday at San Diego's Rock 'n' Roll Marathon after 7 hours, 24 minutes and 36 seconds.

To be exact, Thompson completed the feat at the age of 92 years and 65 days, making her about a month and a half older than Gladys Burrill was when she set the record by finishing the 2010 Honolulu Marathon.
