Beardsley Shares His Journey

www.dickbeardsley.com

In The Moment ... November 29, 2018 Show 469 Hour 1

When you hear Dick Beardsley's story, you might suspect he isn't quite mortal. That is, until you realize he is as painfully human as the rest of us. His is a story of hardship, hope, survival and redemption.

A Minnesota native, Beardsley is one of the top American distance runners of all time. 

The best-selling author and motivational speaker gives talks on Monday at Black Hills State University (10:00 a.m.) and Tuesday at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology.

Lori Walsh is a special correspondent with SDPB and host of the "In the Moment" podcast.
