Dixon Hemphill is a 94-year-old world record holder in the Masters Running category, and he’s a Virginia native. There’s not much competition at 90+ bracket, but Dixon takes on all comers.   Last year, ESPN covered Dixon’s rivalry with 100 year old Orville Rogers in a special that aired on prime time television.   Dixon also competes in the Navy Mile in D.C. and he got a write-up in the Washington Post. Here’s what they had to say:   The biggest cheer of the day went to Dixon Hemphill of Fairfax Station, Va., a World War II veteran and the oldest runner of the event at age 93. Many attendees gathered at the finish line and applauded Hemphill as he finished the race in 20:55.69. He was first greeted by his granddaughter, who he didn’t know would be at the event. She welcomed him with a kiss on the cheek.   “I’m so proud of my grandfather. Every time I go out to see him, my insides feel overwhelmed with joy that he is able to still do what he loves,” Lisa Hemphill said. “It motivated me to start running as well, and it’s something I can connect with him on.”   We welcome Dixon into the studio to talk life, fitness, and entrepreneurship with Ben. Thank you Dixon for spending time with us! You’re an inspiration to everyone at the office.   More at:    www.LiveLifeBig.org www.BenGlassLaw.com
