Just two vegan runners - Harvey Lewis who casually wins ultramarathon trail races in his late 40s, and Mike Fremont, the 101 year old vegan runner who still ran marathons until age 91! 😍🥦🤟
Out for an evening adventure with my centenarian friend Mike Fremont, always full of pizzazz!
At 101 1/2 years young, Mike is keeping his routines of pull ups in the evening, humor, vegan foods and covering more miles on foot than anyone his age.
We found about a dozen paw paws, the largest fruit from the continental United States and enjoyed sharing them with people we met along the trail.
Mike shared with me for the first time ever that he wants to write a book. I’m certain it would truly impact thousands of people.
Later, Mike and I joined his wife Marilyn for dinner. We ate Japanese noodles, colorful fresh vegetables with tofu, edamame, miso soup and oranges for dessert. Marilyn and Mike just completed the 8 mile Paddlefest canoeing the Ohio River in August. Mike was also beaming with pride to share that his wife Marilyn was one of ten nominated for Cincinnati Enquirer’s woman of the year for her years of volunteerism with non-profit environmental organizations.
As sensei, Mike always has great insights for life, carrying a couple more into Bigs Backyard World Championship along with the positive energy.
