The theme of this week’s show is simply “influence.” Since I’ve been greatly influenced by endurance sports, I’ll tell you a bit about that influence and its relation to Endurance Planet. Then we’ll hear about an elementary school teacher in Minnesota who is influencing students by putting his body to the test later this week as part of Mr. Parry’s Endurance Challenge. Then we round out the hour by hearing from an elite endurance athlete who has influenced an entire community.
