JOHOR BARU: While most would gladly take a backseat at the age of 72, one zesty grandmother is living life to the fullest by lifting weights, running marathons and cycling long distances.
She isn’t stopping there – next on her “to do” list is to climb Mount Kinabalu and trek to the Mount Everest base camp.
“Before that I never did anything strenuous. So, I decided to give it a shot. I trained in the gym for several months and managed to complete the 5km stretch,” said Oliver, who is married to an American. “People thought I was crazy but for me it was an opportunity to bond with my family,” she said, adding that she emerged top in her age group by beating almost 800 other participants in the 10km event.
“We had about 15 obstacles to overcome,” she said, adding that every time she felt like quitting, she would just simply push on.
