Episode Description

I'm in the hot seat for this one, as I play for you Raven Fairbanks' interview of me on her "Raven In Real Life" lifestyle show/podcast. Before that...a quick recap of my first time running the ATH Half Marathon through Athens GA and the University of Georgia campus with my son, who's a senior at UGA.

(6:25) This is a chance for you to get to know more about your "Run the Race" host. Raven asks me about my now 27-year TV news career...how it started, telling important stories, weaving my faith walk through my career as an anchor/reporter...entertaining as a broadcaster...famous people like Presidents I've interviewed...going through Army basic training, etc.

(17:00) We also discuss the origins of this podcast I've been producing/hosting the last 6 years. (20:13) And yes, Raven wanted to know why and how I run so much, the start of that fitness journey to now trying to run marathons in all 50 states. It's partly because of my love for food and being healthy!

(26:22) We close out with how my amazing wife has saved my life...and a few life lessons I shared with "Raven in Real Life" including advice about running shoes and training.
