Retired Memphis dentist Jon Simpson has never run in or competed in an endurance race in his entire life.
However, Simpson has run at least a mile every day for 39-years and counting. His impressive streak, which is the 6th longest of it’s type according to the U.S. Running Streak Association, started way back in 1971.
Heck, Jon doesn’t even measure his miles by car or high-powered GPS. He just gets out and runs for at least 30 minutes every day.
Jon started running, several decades ago now, to strengthen his right leg which is affected by polio.
