Let's make this birthday one to remember.

36 years old (Born on November 18, 1988)

Happy birthday to the ever-speedy Abraham Chepkirwok, the track powerhouse who zoomed onto our screens at Beijing's 2008 Olympics! We applaud you—not only for your swift strides on the middle-distance scene—but also because you're proving that age is merely a lap marker in this marathon of life.

May each birthday bring fewer muscle cramps and more finish-line dances. Your Olympic debut will forever inspire us—reminding everyone it's completely normal (and still admirable!) if we can't chase down buses or catch runaway pets like an Olympian. Enjoy another victorious run around life's grand stadium today, Abraham!
