“What do you write in your log every morning?”

“I write the mileage, time of run, pace, course. All streak details.”

“What was one of the reasons for starting your running streak?”

“I wanted to become a better racer, and I realized how quickly you get out of shape without commitment.”

“What advice would you give to someone who’s considering starting a streak?”

“There can’t be any excuses. I’d also advise they run first thing in the morning; there’ll be less excuses, and it doesn’t interfere with anything.”
