Today is your day Boomer! And today we salute another Boomer who has done something extraordinary! 71-year-old Mary Lollar has gone running every day for over three years.....that is, exactly 1,095 straight days! She hit the open sidewalks during the pandemic and began running five or six kilometres a day, working her way up to 13 or 14 kilometres. “I’ve gone through four or five pairs of shoes; and I no longer have the nicest looking feet.” Good sense of humour too. Lollar is from the Toronto area. She jogs to support emergency health care patients and workers, people she used to work with before retirement. A doctor, who knows Mary, "laughs as he reflects on a prediction he’s made about Mary and the real life similarities she shares with the fictional character Forrest Gump: “She's going to start taking up ping pong. I don't know what it's going to be next, but it's going to be some marathon of some sort.” Run Forrest...er, Mary run! You are a big inspiration to Boomers and a great role model! Thanks and cheers!!
