@@joys8634 I see your point but that can happen prior to becoming old, you moron. Sounds like youve been living in a bubble... Shit can change overnight regardless of age.
Agreed. You feel fully awake and energized. First the adrenaline and then, after extended effort, the endorphins. It's a universal experience. She probably doesn't get endorphins, though, from running for 11 minutes. :-)
This is such an extraordinary story! I love her beautiful spirit to live. Never underestimate the power of a positive mind! God bless her. Wish I could give her a hug.
this just hit me hard I need to work out this lady just got me on a mission to try jog or walk 30 minutes a day for the next 102 Days as a reference to her.
im probably going to live this long cuss my great grandma and we live up to 90-100 and also my sister will live that age like she said she good with 90s
What amazes me is how her joints hold up at 102. I work out 5-days a week, but don’t run because of arthritis and knee pain, and I’m a few decades younger. I really wish I could run, but it would cripple me. I don’t know how these older people do it without injuring their joints. It’s truly amazing.
She came in last in the 80+ age bracket, but she was the only runner over 100. So a new record for the 60-meter dash for age 100+! And she is running, not walking. You can see at playback speed 0.25 that there is a fraction of a second when both feet are off the ground. Her 60-meter time of 24.75 sec amounts to a 11 min 4 sec mile. That's faster than most people walk (15 minute mile).
Julia is an amazing n inspiring woman to ALL. As the saying goes when you are physically fit, it blesses and helps you in all other facets of your Life. She will not slow down that adrenaline rush until the very end and so be it, good on her. She is living her purpose and not wasting any moment.
I'm aghast that anyone would think to give this story a thumbs down!! Julia is a remarkable Lady with a truly wonderful story about her long incredible life and her amazing running achievements.
She has a ton of dedication. To be able to run like that at 102 is mind-blowing. It really is. I walk a ton, and my left knee isn't the greatest, but I hope to still be walking at 80, 85, or even 90 if I live that long. She's amazing.
Julia also ran (and won, of course) in June, 2019 in Albuquerque at age 103! She was scheduled to run March, 2020 at 104, but the virus canceled the meet. Hope she runs in 2021 at age 105!
Truly amazing. Most people who live as long as she has, are fortunate to still be able to walk without assistance, let alone run. And to still have her mental faculties, as well. She's very fortunate.
That isn’t normal either, but people today trash their health and live stressful. People passing in their 50’s 60’s, 70’s etc is not normal but I guess in these unhealthy times sure.
Video all seemed up at 4:14, there may be youth 🏃 running by her like move outta the way but in her heart of Joy; she's saying move outta mine; your too slow!
The Beckham well, this might be the first comment on THIS video, but you have to realize there are other videos like these and other people have commented this same exact thing.
For the 110 who didn't like this video, please go find another planet to live on. This woman has amazing heart and spirit, and it is sad that you aren't able to recognize that, not to mention that she is the very best in the history of her age group for what she has done.
@@bouche8503 As your grammar was not proper, I don't know if you were writing "why do whiter people think this planet is theirs exclusively". What I wrote has nothing to do with race, but simply of being human. People gave a 102 year old lady who is running a thumbs down. That has nothing to do with what you wrote, but everything to do with people acting without humanity, for which this planet with over 8 billion in population has a sufficient number of great people, that we don't need anymore jackasses. If you have a question, try and write it out a little better.
@@bouche8503 You are no genius, as either you made a racist remark of stupidity, or failed to notice your poor grammar and typing. So if I didn't interpret things correctly, then let me know.
My great grandmother lived to 98 1/2, she outlived 8 of her 9 children and beat cancer twice. She was a midwife from the age of 14, helping women deliver babies who couldn't afford to go to the hospital (very poor rural area) They made people tougher and better back then😊
Anybody that thumb down this video is depressed about life!!! She is just adorable. Enjoying what's left of life to the fullest. This is so inspirational & beautiful. Go Julia, go!!!
There's joy to be gotten in competition, regardless of the level at which you compete. Before his stroke, my dad got a lot out of competing in the Senior Games. Love this story. Good work ESPN!
It's a blessing to be alive at that age and even more a blessing to be able to still function on your own
@Michael Rodriguez and dont 4get most important of all: pretty much evry1 u evr knew, family, loved ones, children, r all dead.

Mr SS that’s a great point
@St. Petersberg not everyone is with jesus (i mean not everyone is christian, atleast 70% of the world is christians.)
She isn't blessed just super healthy
the lines she said "the adrenaline that you get when you do sports is hard to express but it's a wonderful feeling " are awesome.
Agreed. You feel fully awake and energized. First the adrenaline and then, after extended effort, the endorphins. It's a universal experience. She probably doesn't get endorphins, though, from running for 11 minutes. :-)
It says it all !
Just did 6 50 yard sprints, feeling refreshed mentally and physically
She’s faster than most people in my pe class
Ryan Verrette you wrong for that
Detroit2 Poetic you don’t know
Yeah nah everyone in your class must be VERYY unfit if they cant run a 100m in 40 seconds
hhhhh, then that class needs to ....
posie walker nah my school track team lit
She is amazing. She's my great aunt; she's strong, intelligent, funny, loving--- everything a woman should be.
Me too shes actually my dad though
@@Drewless lol 😂
What's her shoes? New Balance 1080?
🤨 way to use her for clout, bro.
Blessings for her....
I love the way she smiles as she runs, like a little kid.
Yes😊
same here
@Hello Koi Shooter, How are you doing?
I want to be like her when I’m 102!!!
Boss Ross Vlogs if you get to 102 😂
TheChosenOne the percentages are too damn low
TheChosenOne why he couldn't? Small chance but possible
Not me! I dont want 2 b around wen evry1 i ever knew and loved is dead
TheChosenOne wow ur a hater I bet when ur dead he will mock ur grave when he’s 102 😂😂😂
Absolutely incredible! And she’s still running strong in 2022 at 106 years old! 😱
Its more fast walking,untill she will fall and break her hips
Grandma be running towards you when you said you haven't eat yet.
She’s way older than a grandma! She’s probably a great great grandma 😂
LMFAO!
@@LapisOverlord the she is still a grandma
Ben 13425 that’s like referring to your grandma as your mom just because she is a mom.
Eaten
Damn right, Don't slow down as long as your heart pumping but keep doing you.
This just change my view on age and motivated me. Much love for Ms. Hawkins
What an amazing woman, so healthy and so full of life.
God bless her.
This is such an extraordinary story! I love her beautiful spirit to live. Never underestimate the power of a positive mind! God bless her. Wish I could give her a hug.
this just hit me hard I need to work out this lady just got me on a mission to try jog or walk 30 minutes a day for the next 102 Days as a reference to her.
did you make it?
to keep Heath risks to a minimum you should jog or equivalent vigorous exercise at least 45 minutes a day 5 days a week.
You do it?
I hope I can get that age one day, But congrats to her tho.
im probably going to live this long cuss my great grandma and we live up to 90-100 and also my sister will live that age like she said she good with 90s
@Zu Qu Not necessarily. Sure, most centenarians are in rather bad shape, but some are in good health and are independent.
you better hope you can even walk at that age let alone run!

Is she still alive in 2020?

My great grandmother is 106years old
@Bossman Mike Talk to her as much as you can. She is an encyclopedia.

Diet and maybe no ankle support arch support shoes
Who’s here in 2020? I am so inspired, I live in Louisiana as well. God bless her👍🙏🙏
I take my hat off to all of these people this is truly more than amazing and behond words

Speechless. I think I would be lucky to avoid the coffin at 102, let alone run.
A Blessing to be alive at that age.👏🏼
I just like positive energy and that's what this video brings
She is now one of my great inspirations, Julia Hawkins!
I’m amazed and hope that I can be as active in my 80s-100 years old, if I get to live as long as this woman. God bless her.
This story touched my heart. What a beautiful person!
Way to go grandma! Brings me tears watching this video.
I like that kind of story so much, bring me energy.

Wonderfull attitude - very beautifull - and a wonderfull example for everybody and on the importance on Focus on celebrating life unconditionally

What an inspiration. Good for you, Julia.
I saw her break the world record in the 60 meter dash in the 2018 national indoor championship in Landover, also.
Julia also ran (and won, of course) in June, 2019 in Albuquerque at age 103! She was scheduled to run March, 2020 at 104, but the virus canceled the meet. Hope she runs in 2021 at age 105!

She's beautiful. I cried at the end.

Heart touching, keep it going, motivation for us all
It made me cry and motivated me at the same time
Most of us have been dead and buried for decades by that age.

Why God?
She has knowledge and wisdom we all need but it will be lost on these last two generations, we will fall backwards without her.
