A 92-year-old runner became the oldest woman to finish a marathon, completing the Rock n Roll Marathon at 7:24:36 in San Diego on Sunday. Harriette Thompson, who is a two-time cancer survivor and has run in 16 marathons, set the new world record for women over 90 last year with a time of 7:07. The Charlotte, North Carolina, native has raised more than $100,000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society by running in marathons. Thompson beat the previous record for a woman age 90 or older by more than an hour and a half.
