Johnny Kelley is 86 years old. He has just run the last seven miles of the Boston Marathon. It took him one hour and 15 minutes to run the seven miles. After his run, he went to the medical center to have his blood pressure checked. The nurse was surprised and pleased to see that his blood pressure was 139 over 84. She told him that his blood pressure was “outstanding.” Then she said, “I wish mine were that good.” Johnny Kelley is known as the great-grandfather of the Boston Marathon. He ran the entire 26 miles of the marathon 61 times. This year was the second time that he has cut back and run only part of it. Kelley holds the record for running more Boston Marathons than anyone else. To honor Kelley, a statue of him has been placed along the marathon route. Thousands of people cheer for him as he runs the course. Today, an 11-year-old boy called out to Kelley, “Hey, Mr. Kelley—you’re awesome. Super awesome!” Kelley nods and thanks people as he runs. “It’s wonderful,” he says. “People come out on the road to shake my hand. I’m cheered by thousands and thousands. I think a lot of people thought I ran the entire race. And maybe they cheered me because they know me after all these years, and they don’t know the other runners.”
