 Kip Williamson, just completed his 10,000th consecutive day of running. (AP) — A Massachusetts man who made a resolution on Jan. 1, 1989, to run every day is still going strong — 27 years later. The 57-year-old General Electric Co. engineering manager tells The Daily Item of Lynn (http://bit.ly/1XryHN2 ) 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. He mixes in at least one long run a week, which can range from six to eight miles. “As long as my legs keep working, I’ll keep going,” Williamson said.
– A Massachusetts man who made a resolution on Jan. 1, 1989, to run every day is still going strong—27 years later, the AP reports. Saugus resident Lenworth "Kip" Williamson recently ran for the 10,000th consecutive day. The 57-year-old General Electric Co. engineering manager tells 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. Now he puts in at least 3 miles a day and sticks to the streets, regardless of the weather, running as late at 11pm and as early as 2am. "It’s a good time to think," Williamson says. "I guess I enjoy the endorphins and it’s just part of who I am at this point." He says as long as his legs work, he will continue running.
