6/24/20261 hr 3 min
Duluth got two shows last week, and YOU are getting two shows this week.
For this first one, we replay the audio from the live show on Thursday at the Grandma's Marathon in Duluth, featuring the one and only Dakotah Popehn (Des's nemesis). Then later in the week, we will release another BONUS episode with fresh content from Monday recapping the weekend in Minnesota, plus a replay of the 2nd live show in Duluth. Stay on top of your audio downloads this week, so you don't miss any of it.
In this episode, Kara oozes all of her love for this race, Des gets introduced to Minnesota accents and Minnesota nice, and Dakotah shares the story about how this race inspired her Olympic dreams. Plus, the audience asks great questions. If you want to race Grandma's someday, there is a lot of great course beta too. Even if not, this episode will definitely make you smile. Listen in and then check back later this week for the full weekend recap!
Thank you to the team at the Grandma's Marathon and the fans in Duluth for all of their hospitality. Selling out TWO live shows is amazing. Kara and Des really appreciate it.
Note: There is no YouTube for this episode - audio only.

I tried so hard. [laughs] [laughs] How is everybody tonight? [cheering] Des, you flew in last night. You texted me, "What is with this weather?" [laughs] [laughs] It warmed up a little bit today. How's your day in Duluth been?
Des Linden· Host0:45
Yeah, it was a touch and go yesterday. It was pretty bumpy out of Traverse, and then I sat in Minneapolis for quite a while, but I wasn't worried because I over-packed underwear. [laughs] As we talked about on the last, the last episode. I was like, "I'll be okay whatever happens." [laughs] If I have to drive, if I go back home, I'll be okay, have enough underwear. So, that was good. Um, but I did get on the flight last night, got in, and what a beautiful place. Even with the lake being moody as it was, um, gorgeous. And then this morning, got up and, and ran along the waterfront, which was awesome. We ch- we chatted a little bit about places to go and where to get the best mileage on the waterfront, so I'm gonna make some adjustments tomorrow, I think. But all in all, so far so good.
Kara Goucher· Host1:26
How far did you run today?
Des Linden· Host1:27
I ran six miles.
Kara Goucher· Host1:29
Oh, that's good.
