World planking record set by ex-Marine, aged 62

George Hood held the plank for eight hours, 15 minutes and 15 seconds.

"He finished the event by doing 75 push ups."

We all have goals.

For some reason, this reminds me of Jack Palance at the Academy Awards ceremony in 92.

Jack was the man! He was 73 years old and did one-arm pushups.

And yesterday when I went to live yoga and we were about to do our one minute plank (!), I mentioned this and my yoga teacher had seen it and she said, "what? was he wearing a diaper or something?" Did not even think of that aspect of it!! I wonder if he was allowed bathroom breaks. In my youth I briefly held a world record for a band marathon and we were actually given 10 minutes every two hours. We were outside in a parking lot, so we had to use that time to run across the street to use the gas station bathroom. What fun that was! Not. We made it to 80 hours and a couple of months later a different high school went 100+ hours, so we missed publication in the book. After all that.....
