- At age 102, Julia Hawkins has a lot of passions in life, but none more thrilling than running. She broke a world record for the 100-meter dash by female competitors 100 years and older and she shows no signs of stopping.

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.
@@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.
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 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....
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
I love the way she smiles as she runs, like a little kid.
Yes😊
same here
@Hello Koi Shooter, How are you doing?
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.
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 😂😂😂
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?
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.
Diet and maybe no ankle support arch support shoes
This just change my view on age and motivated me. Much love for Ms. Hawkins
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).
Speechless. I think I would be lucky to avoid the coffin at 102, let alone run.
What an amazing woman, so healthy and so full of life.
God bless her.
The human body is an amazing machine. Knows when we've given up and when we haven't.
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!
Jay Johnson: Colorado?
@@runcaz7802 ??
She was pretty. Still looks good for her age. Amazing shape.
Is she still alive in 2020?
@@rudy1999 I believe so.
Jerry Lisby she’s still pretty. 😀😀
yeah amazing
Who’s here in 2020? I am so inspired, I live in Louisiana as well. 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.
"Its never to late to do what you love."
Absolutely incredible! God bless.
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.
My great grandmother is 106years old
@Bossman Mike Talk to her as much as you can. She is an encyclopedia.
Lol
TheSlickMosser lol uncalled for
wow
My great great grandmother was 96 before passing.
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!
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😊
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.
Why do whitr people think this planet is theirs exclusively?😊
@@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.
@@randylazer2894 grammar or a typo genius ?
@@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.
@@randylazer2894 racism is white people settling on non European land
She is now one of my great inspirations, Julia Hawkins!
I just like positive energy and that's what this video brings
All these people should be extremely grateful for having the luck of such an extraordinary health !
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.
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.
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.
1:14 Love her start. I hope I'm still running at 102!
I take my hat off to all of these people this is truly more than amazing and behond words
That was enjoyable to see her run.she has a good Spirit about life .hope her the best.
Good for Julia! Ahh, to be 102 again - those were the days!
A Blessing to be alive at that age.👏🏼
This is the best I watched in ages- literary and figuratively!!
Wonderfull attitude - very beautifull - and a wonderfull example for everybody and on the importance on Focus on celebrating life unconditionally
This is the P.E Teacher’s Grandma they’re always talking about
Idk14a this is the most underrated comment on this video
The Beckham nobody is liking it because it’s unoriginal
K Pvp this is the oldest comment on this video of its kind so... it is technically the original comment.
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.
No, I didnt copy this comment but yes, i realise its not an original comment
I saw her break the world record in the 60 meter dash in the 2018 national indoor championship in Landover, also.
I like that kind of story so much, bring me energy.
She has knowledge and wisdom we all need but it will be lost on these last two generations, we will fall backwards without her.
5:05 that poor lady on the left was waiting for her hug!!
They should have hug all of them bambi
Way to go grandma! Brings me tears watching this video.
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.
“I wasn’t expecting actual running...” 😂
Ain't no surprise, erbody got a lil some of that Mamba Mentality. ☝🏾
Mailynn Komaie wtf
Mamba Mentality- when you better yourself everday.. Grams got just that. 👏🏾
2020 ...
"When you think you are not old, You are not old!"
This story touched my heart. What a beautiful person!
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!!!
I would like to take a moment to remember her. Julia Hawkins is a wonderful lady.
Because shes still alive in February of 2020. Wow but seriously she’s lived a good long life!
*this proves that age is just a number*
DarcyC TV don’t promote pedophiles
@@Rjdondadda and jail is just a room
darcyy1 animalfan79 don’t promote pedos pls
Age means you are growing up but it don't mean that you can't do what you want to do
What a dumb platitude.
I really hope she’s still alive today😥😰😥😰
What an amazing lady.
RESPECT!!!!!
God bless you!!! A real inspiration that age has nothing to do with keeping our bodies fit and healthy. 😊
A true inspiration! I hope to follow her example as far as possible. I am a late starter in my 30s!
This woman doesn't give up an inspiration.
She looks amazing!!!
Most of us have been dead and buried for decades by that age.
F. Scott Fitzgerald that makes me sad.
Soccer StudiosYT Don't be sad about it. Just be happy and have fun.
Craig Coleman ok
F. Scott Fitzgerald
You’re such a great author! I’m a huge fan of The Great Gatsby.
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.
What an inspiration. Good for you, Julia.
She's an inspiration. The rest of us better start thinking we might just live that long so no reason to slow down!
So inspiring!,, I will keep this video of a reminder That I can do more than I think I can! Thank you!
SHE IS AMAZING , I'M CRYING
Oh please..don't be so dramatic!!
This is how 102 should be. People’s lives get longer but they’re not enjoying their later years
Ok so how do I enter? " Well first ya gotta make it to a 100 years old". Yeah, scrap that. 🤣
jason johnson what about if I identify myself as a 100 year lady... ?
@@neidys1425 Transage
Jihad Bunnydick everybody that doesn’t accept how I identify myself would be a Transagephobic 🤣
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 way she said u don't feel your age, it is something I do feel a lot. I am 58 this year and i don't feel more than early 40s. Also I look much much younger than my age. My grandmother died just now, at 102, and not from old age, but from a silly accident. She could have lived still. My mum is 80 and she is running for the bus. When she sees it in the bust stop, standing there, she shoots out. She looks 65. No walkers or any aid, not a single medication whatsoever. Interesting. I think the life we live now, who are young now , they suffer a lot ....due to comfort.
This is amazing god bless her
When your grandma finds out you haven’t ate and you’re home alone lol but in all seriousness, respect ✊🏻
Now She is the definition of a sweet soul!!
I want to be as active and amazing as her when I'm 60!
When and if I'm ever 70yrs old or even 80yrs old, I'll promise y'all I'll still be able to run fast like 10mph or more
Hurricane Hawkins! I love it!
Such a beautiful and inspiring story ❤️
I just love her! What an inspiration!
❤️ God bless you! You’re the pure inspiration! 👍👍
I dont know why but this gives me the joy of the day.
She is a perfect example of how the body can stay healthy and young, if you stay in good physical shape, by staying involved in sports!
She gives me the motivation to keep working my big ass out I won't stop 👌😓😂 #Motivated
She puts more effort than most people in my school props to her
I just love this ladies story. This is the way to live life. Go for it, my friend. Love ya!
Everyday is a blessing when you live that old
HOW WONDERFUL IS THIS STORY.
👍🏼👍🏼Well done you are alive and well because you have looked after your body and most importantly kept active all your life 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Strong mind equals strong body 😁stay strong and keep doing what you love
