On this special episode, we discuss how Mark Dowdle is running from Duluth to St. Paul, which is 160 miles!  He plans on doing so in only 36 hours and will end up at the University of St. Thomas campus at noon on Sunday.  Mark is completing this run in honor of our St. Thomas teammate and friend Blake Weber’s mom, Laurie Weber, who passed away August 8, 2020.  Click here to view the Go Fund Me page.  To be a part of the virtual 5k, use hashtag #lovelikelaurie5k.  There are prizes for those who donate and participate in the virtual 5k, partnered with many awesome local businesses: win FREE pizza at Davanni's, coffee at Bizzy Coffee, gas at Marshall Stop, a haircut at Pusch Salon, UST tumbler mugs, long sleeves from Run N Fun, and some wicked gift cards to spend at Great Lakes Clothing!  Follow along as Andrew captures the moments of Mark Dowdle’s run.  As far as operations for the run go, we’re the blind leading the blind.  If all else fails, head south and get nutrients in, Mark!  You've got this.
