Did we say 'as cool as he is' in the headline? Make that 'even cooler.' 'Ironman' Milind Soman just completed - literally hours ago - 'The Great India Run' from Ahmedabad to Mumbai in just eight days. But the scene stealer here was the one person who joined him mid-run.
Meet Usha Soman, the marathoner's 78-year-old mother who participated in Milind's run.
A video, shared on August 3, shows Ms Soman accompanying her son near Manor in Maharashtra, barefoot and in a sari. Everyone says that age is just number, but here's one woman proving it with her actions.
This isn't Mrs Soman's first rodeo - she earlier participated in several 100 km walks. The 'like mother like son' idiom holds exceptionally true for this mother-son duo.
As for the 'Ironman' himself, this is his third Ahmedabad to Mumbai run.
"Today, the last few kms to Dahisar Check Naka to officially enter the city of Mumbai and then by car to Gateway for the closing ceremony," he wrote on Instagram about four hours ago.
