If you have a wildly popular show on public radio, and you’re funny by nature, you might just decide to sit on the couch and polish more one-liners. 

But something prompted NPR’s Peter Sagal to take up running around the age of 40. That journey is the subject of his new book, “The Incomplete Book of Running.”

Sagal is the host of NPR’s long-running news quiz Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me! He spoke with KUOW’s Ross Reynold’s at Seattle First Baptist Church on November 11. Town Hall Seattle presented the event as part of their Arts & Culture series.
