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 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.
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.
The human body is an amazing machine. Knows when we've given up and when we haven't.
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.

Who’s here in 2020? I am so inspired, I live in Louisiana as well. God bless her👍🙏🙏
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.
1:14 Love her start. I hope I'm still running at 102!
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!
A Blessing to be alive at that age.👏🏼
I just like positive energy and that's what this video brings
I saw her break the world record in the 60 meter dash in the 2018 national indoor championship in Landover, also.

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.
That was enjoyable to see her run.she has a good Spirit about life .hope her the best.
What an amazing lady.
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.
This story touched my heart. What a beautiful person!
I like that kind of story so much, bring me energy.

So inspiring!,, I will keep this video of a reminder That I can do more than I think I can! Thank you!
This is amazing god bless her
Good for Julia! Ahh, to be 102 again - those were the days!
this makes me so happy❤️

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.
A true inspiration! I hope to follow her example as far as possible. I am a late starter in my 30s!
Amazing, uplifting!
This woman doesn't give up an inspiration.
It made me cry and motivated me at the same time
I completely respect this beautiful Lady.
Most of us have been dead and buried for decades by that age.

Great story. Another amazing accomplishment by a member of the Greatest Generation.
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😊
