The Endurance Planet Hour
On this week’s show, we have a special guest. Lisa Smith-Batchen. Lisa, as many of you already know, has been on a journey to run 50 miles in all 50 states within a window of just 62 days…and all of it to raise money for orphans around the world. Well, this past Saturday was the last 50 miler in the 50th state. We talked to her by phone as she was nearing the 20 mile mark and the goal was, somewhat, within sight. It’s an inspiring interview with an amazing woman.
