Paragraph 1 Despite the fact that he is one of the world's oldest guys, Alan O'Shannon doesn't consider himself an "old man." In fact, he says that he is living it up. Last March, Mr. O'Shannon partied at his 107th birthday with his great-grandchildren. He credits his longevity to his daily exercise routine and his decades-long habit of chomping on vegetables with every meal and guzzling plenty of water throughout the day. While Mr. O'Shannon considers his exercise routine easy, many would consider getting up a 5 a. m. to run 12 miles super tough. Despite his age, Mr. O'Shannon says that he is as active as a happy child.
