lol. sheer tenacity, good genes and I think doing something you love may help you live longer. he also lives by his own rules I think.

he has also always been very thin so he has avoided a lot of health issues from being thin. he also laughs a lot although those lines on his face are not just from laughing from rough living too.

oh yea.....blood transfusions too

he still ran very hard though, I think he is about out of gas.
