Summary

"I didn't know that this was how good a relationship could be. I didn't know how healthy relationships could be. Being with Montana is like seeing daylight."

Happy Valentine's Day! In this edition of Love on the Run, we are getting to know Dakotah and Montana Popehn. They share the story of how they met, who made the first move for the first kiss, who said "I love you" first, and everything that happened next, including Montana's proposal at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games (where Dakotah finished 12th in the marathon) and their intimate wedding just one week before the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon.

0:00.0	Happy Valentine's Day and welcome to the Allie on the Run show. I'm your host, Allie
0:10.3	Fellar, and this is Love on the Run. Every year on the show, I try to do something a little
0:16.1	different during my favorite week of the year, which is obviously the week of Valentine's Day. This is my favorite
0:23.0	holiday. I know people will say it's a hallmark holiday and that we should tell people we love
0:28.4	them every day. Fine. I agree. I agree. We should tell people that we love them all the time.
0:36.3	But a day that is all about celebrating love, I say why the heck not?

1:30.0	formerly Dakota Lindworm. She is the Minnesota hockey player turned Olympic marathoner, and
1:36.1	she has won the hearts of running fans everywhere. Most recently, she won the heart of one Montana
1:43.3	Popain. In this conversation, we get to know Dakota's
1:46.8	other half. You'll hear the full story of how they met, who made the first move for the first kiss,
1:53.5	who said I love you first, and everything that happened next, including Montana's proposal
1:59.2	at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games and all about their intimate
