AUGUS, Mass. — A Massachusetts man who made a resolution Jan. 1, 1989, to run every day is still going strong — 27 years later.
Saugus resident Lenworth "Kip" Williamson recently ran for the 10,000th consecutive day.
The 57-year-old General Electric Co. engineering manager told The Daily Item of Lynn that he remembers reading at the time that if you can do something for 21 days, it becomes a habit. He said 1989 was a mild winter, which helped him, as he is a strictly outdoor runner.
Williamson sticks to the streets, regardless of the weather, and puts in at least 3 miles a day. At least once a week, he puts in a 6- to 8-mile run.
He said as long as his legs work, he will continue running.
