Another commendation
Previously I noted a 100-year old's secret to long life including a diet of fresh fruits and vegetables. Here is another testimonial from a 77 year old runner who conquered the Empire State Building.
From the Daily News:
The 77-year old Brooklyn triathlete finished the 86-story climb in a little over 27 minutes, finishing ahead of six other competitors, including a 24-year-old who finished last. Germany's Thomas Dold defended his title - finishing in 10 minutes, 25 seconds - to best 289 other runners.
"At my age, it's getting tougher and tougher to do this," said Puma, of Manhattan Beach, Brooklyn, as he gulped a plastic cup of water on the building's observatory deck after the race.
This is Puma's 15th year finishing the New York Road Runners' annual competition, a level of fitness he attributes to a disciplined diet and a steady regimen of biking, swimming and strength training.
For breakfast, he eats wheat and barley grains. For lunch, a salad of raw veggies with tuna and a dressing of lemon juice and olive oil. Dinner is his wife's concoction of steamed veggies with a side of turkey or fish, with sweet potatoes or a crusty whole grain bread.
