    "Wearing a white baseball cap, a neon green shirt, black shorts and gray running shoes, Jon Sutherland runs alongside his 6-year-old dog, Puck, a brown Labrador mix, circling Sherman Oaks Park along with dozens of early morning joggers and walkers.

    Rain or shine, healthy or sick, strong or weak, Sutherland has stayed with a similar routine — he has run — every day for 45 consecutive years, covering more than 190,000 miles............"

      How does one run with some of the injuries he's had to deal with?

        "He has averaged a little more than 11 miles a day during his streak. He once ran about 120 miles a week, when he was competing for Valley College and Cal State Northridge, but he's now running 45 to 50 miles a week."

         

        He ain't no 1-mile-a-day streaker.
