发帖数: 216 | 1 New York City (AFP) - An American grandmother, who on Sunday was the oldest
woman to compete in the New York marathon, died a day later. She was 86.
Joy Johnson from San Jose, California, took just under eight hours to
complete the 26.2-mile (42.2km) race through all five boroughs of the
biggest city in the United States.
She stumbled and hit her head at around the 20th mile. But she went to the
medical tent only after completing the race and declined their insistence
that she go to hospital.
"She never really ran to compete, she ran because she loved it," her
youngest daughter Diana Boydston told AFP by telephone Tuesday.
Johnson, who would have turned 87 on Christmas Day, had been a physical
education teacher and coach for many years, but only took up running in
retirement.
Sunday was the 25th consecutive time she finished the race. Her fastest time
in New York was just under four hours in 1991. She came first in her age
group six times.
"She was a woman of great faith, that was first in her life, faith and
family and then probably running. She really loved to run. She made a lot of
friends that way all over the world," Boydston said.
"She really was amazing."
While Johnson's training had relaxed slightly in recent years, it was still
rigorous for many people half her age.
"She would go every morning out to our local track and run with people who
were running or talking there. She would run bleachers, obviously doing
stretching before you left," said Boydston.
She traveled to New York accompanied by her sister, Faith.
After the race, it was her custom to have a hot bath and go to bed. On the
next day, it was her tradition to go to Rockefeller Plaza where US TV
network NBC films the Today show.
When she and her sister returned to their hotel, Johnson lay down to rest
and never woke up.
Her daughter last spoke to her one day before the race and said she had been
"very happy."
"I got to tell her I loved her. That's what's been keeping me going,"
Boydston said.
Just 18 of the marathon's more than 50,000 starters this year were over 80,
according to race organizers.
Johnson came in fourth in her group of runners aged 80 to 89. A man aged 89
was the oldest person to compete Sunday.
"We're saddened to hear about the passing of Joy. She finished her 25th on
Sunday and she was just such an inspiration to us all," Chris Weiller, a
spokesman for organizers New York Road Runners.
Johnson was originally from Minnesota and grew up on a dairy farm. Her
husband died 15 years ago. She is survived by three of her four children and
six grandchildren.

发帖数: 1956 | 16 这是喜丧啊
老北京人谓“喜丧”是“福寿全归”(“全”字应作“圆满”解)。即全福，全寿、全终
。此基本条件缺一不可：
(一)全福。生前自家门内确系“螽斯衍庆”，人丁兴旺，形成一大家族。本身是大家族
的家长，甚至已被尊为祖者
(二)全寿。亡人满八九十岁，甚至突破百岁大关，最低也须超过“古稀”(七十岁)之年
。年纪越大、越老，越符合“喜丧”的条件。故其全称为“老喜丧”。
(三)全终。亦称“善终”，意为圆圆满满地结束了一生。民间以为，死者生前积德行善
，广做功德，临终则不受病痛的折磨，甚至“无疾而终”，自然老死。此即被视为“喜
丧”的根本条件。如果只具备上述第一、二两项条件，但不是正常死亡的，如意外的天
灾人祸致死，则不能算作“老喜丧”。

发帖数: 2115 | 29 我只是觉得她健康状况那么好就这样走了，很可惜。因为她是在20英里附近跌倒，好像
是头磕到地。当时，相关医护人员就建议立即送她到医院。我敬佩老人家的决定跑完马
拉松。只是想如果她跑完后立即去医院检查治疗，也许还能活着，或许还可以继续跑马
拉松。当然，也可能出现你所描述的折腾很长时间。总之，我也是非常敬佩她。
