Gym buddy at 102 – no sweat (April 13) gets a wonderful story
inside out.
Asked how he's got to be a hundred years old, centenarian Len Darr doesn’t
say it was by going to the gym, or even by eating well. He says “keeping my body
fit is a duty, because my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, as what we call
God”.
Sadly, the wisdom of one hundred years of good living is discounted in
favour of the usual hype around promoting gyms. Len isn’t happy because he does
“all the exercises”. He’s happy because he is one with God.
But the nub of the
story doesn’t make the headline. That’s because even Darr himself doubts he’ll
be believed.
I believe you, Len. Absolutely.
