HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- Meet 75-year-old Tom Carr from Hillsborough, self-proclaimed running addict.

He started keeping a journal back in the 1980s.

"I bought a separate journal for just running to log what the time of the day it was, what the weather was," Carr said.

Over 40 years later, he has logged over 60,000 running miles.

"Every mile is outdoors. Never been on a treadmill. Never been bit by a dog. Never been hit by a car. And I've never worn any type of headphones. I want to hear nature. I don't want music or podcasts or anything like that," he said.

With hundreds of races under his belt, including 24 marathons, he's gearing up for one of his biggest races yet, an ultramarathon.

"This one is a hundred miler, and it's made for older runners like me."
