A MARTINEZ, HOST:

Good morning. I'm A Martinez. Lester Wright ran a meter for every year of his life last weekend. He did the 100-meter dash in Philly's Penn Relays the day after he turned 100. Asbury Park Press reports the sprinter² competed against 80-somethings, finished the race in 26 seconds and was not in last. Wright was a high school runner in the '30s and fought at the Battle of the Bulge³ during World War II. And as impressive as all of this is, he's also been married to his high school sweetheart, Adele, for 80 years. It's MORNING EDITION.
