Modesto's Barbara Elia, who turned 68 in October, will be going for her 100th marathon Dec. 2 at the California International Marathon (CIM) in Sacramento.
Elia has been compared to the Energizer Bunny in that she just keeps going and going and going.
She can be seen logging miles on the roads around Modesto during the summer's heat or the winter's fog.
Elia is an accomplished ultra-marathoner, having completed three times the Badwater Ultra, a 145-mile run through Death Valley during the heat of summer.
She also is a veteran of several Western States 100-mile endurance runs as well as CIM.
Good luck Barbara.
