A handout photograph, taken on March 2, 2008, shows Britain's oldest employee, 101-year-old Buster Martin, posing for the camera with his finishers medal after completing the Roding Valley Half Marathon, in Woodford Green, east of London. Martin, who completed the half marathon in five hours 13 minutes, aims to become the world's oldest marathon runner by completing the London Marathon and celebrating with a pint of beer and a cigarette. The former Army physical training instructor works three days a week for a London plumbing firm and says he has trained for the April 13th race in his spare time. [Agencies] |
