83-Year-Old Marathon Runner Out To Beat The Odds (video):

Continuing my cover my “65+ beat” I produced this story as part of our Twin Cities Marathon coverage. It was truly a team effort. The story had a producer, reporter and three photographers work on it. Tom Aviles & I did the initial interview at 7 am, then handed it off to Aristea Brady & Sean Skinner when they were done with live shots… then at 3 as Jeannine finished up, I went back out to finish the story with Dave Porter. Catch all that, phew! At the end, it’s a great story about doing what makes you happy - no matter how long it takes you to do it!

This is a story I did on my friend Air Force Captain Billy Boland. It’s still amazing to me he’s a world away on his second tour training Afghan leaders on how to run their country. He’s far more brave than I am.
