92-year-old Harriette Thompson completed the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon 1 in San Diego on Sunday, becoming the oldest woman to finish a marathon.
She finished the 42.1-kilometer race in 7 hours, 24 minutes and 36 seconds.
"On this course my son was with me and he kept feeding me and giving me all sorts of drinks and then everybody, I got so tired of hearing 'Harriette.' I think I was going to change my name. But it was nice everybody was, wanted to take selfies and it was fun having all that attention."
Thompson started running at the age of 76.
