FROM THE PRESIDENT DAVE MAREK

H

ello runners,

I hope this letter finds you well and running better than ever. We have another great issue of RunMinnesota for you and I hope you take the time to read it from cover to cover. I personally enjoyed Nathan Campeau’s article “Where Should I Spend My Running Dollar?” Very well written and researched. There is also a wonderful article about KwePack runners, some important safety reminders, a couple food articles and much more to round out this quarter’s magazine. Thank you to all our authors.

In the past I’ve often written about how running is a sport that can be enjoyed as an individual or with a group for people of all ages and paces. No matter if your goal is to just finish a race, win an age group award or use running to get in shape you will likely find others who share your goal. My personal experience has been mainly with adult runners as I picked up the running bug later in life myself. However, this spring I was privileged to get an up close look at some of the younger generation getting their first introduction to running and racing.

First, some background. My youngest daughter loves swimming and has been at it for years. I always thought she would be a good runner as she has run a few 5K’s with me but had never kept at it on a consistent basis and I never pushed her. She had on occasion told me she might try track once she got to high school (she just finished her freshman year) and lo and behold one night back in March she informed me that she was going to give it a try. Now, it didn’t hurt that five or six of her swimming buddies decided to go out for track as well but that’s another story.

It brought me a lot of happiness over the course of this spring to watch them run and compete. (And by “spring” I mean late winter and early summer as we didn’t really have spring but that’s another letter altogether). Now they weren’t the fastest runners out there but they gave it their all. They set goals, worked hard and were quite serious about improving. And improve they did with some of their best races at the big meets at the end of the season. Almost better than that, they thoroughly enjoyed the social aspect of training runs, pasta dinners before meets and cheering each other on in races.

There were constant smiles and I believe they are hooked and will be back for more.

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that I was also struck by how the “older”, more experienced runners on the team welcomed and helped the new-to-the-sport younger runners. From practice to the how’s and why’s and what’s of track meets, there was tremendous leadership exhibited. It was clear to me that there are a lot of really good kids out there in this world.

Then one day it dawned on me that some of the things I was watching with these kids on this team were some of the same things I see in adult running groups like our marathon training classes and Saturday Polar Bear runs and at our MDRA races. The joy of running with a group of friends, the support that those groups offer one another, the pursuit of goals whether big or small and the non-running social components aren’t limited to the young or not so young. It is truly a testament to this wonderful sport that this is clearly a lifetime activity that we can all enjoy and appreciate. Whether you choose to run with a group or alone, keep it up and remember to have fun!

Now on to some MDRA business. The Board of Directors is very grateful to have a wonderful treasurer the past couple of years in Nathan Klema. Unfortunately, Nathan will be leaving us shortly and we are looking for someone to step up and fill his shoes. This is the one

position on the board that we would like some related experience whether in finance or accounting. If you or anyone you know may be interested please contact Sarah at mdrasarah@gmail.com.

The Board is also pleased to announce our second annual Community Giving Grant was awarded in May to the Twin Cities Track Club Foundation. They will use the $500 grant to help put on the TCTC Kids City Cross Country League this summer. A wonderful venture that will help foster and develop interest in running and it aligns perfectly with one of MDRA’s stated goals of promoting participation in running. Especially with our youth! Congratulations TCTC Foundation.

A few correction and additions need to be made to the story that appeared in RunMinnesota’s Spring 2018 edition regarding Minnesota’s 100,000-mile runners. Other sub-2:30 marathoners who have run over 100,000 miles are Barney Klecker (2:16 best), and Tim O’Brien (2:25 best). Also, Doug Suker has run faster than the 2:26 listed in the Spring 2018 issue. His fastest time was 2:24.

Since the article came out, the author has learned of two more 100,000 milers: Kelly Mortenson, age 46, of St. Paul. He ran 2,970 miles in 2017 and has a lifetime total of 110,968. His marathon PR was 2:19, and he ran in the 2000 Olympic marathon trials. Mike Seaman, age 67, of Minneapolis. 110,789 is his lifetime total as of 12/31/17. His marathon PR was 2:20, and he ran in the 1980 Olympic Marathon trials.

MY STORY WITH FOOD

It’s true: You can’t out-exercise a bad diet

BY TIM CHRISTMAN

I

like food. My childhood snacks were chocolate covered graham crackers, cream cheese dip with potato chips and the occasional dog biscuit. True story. Food is my friend and I don’t like people telling me who I can and can’t be friends with. That all changed back in February when I read an article written by a young fella named Chad Austin in the Run Minnesota January/February 2018 edition titled, “WTH is a WFPB lifestyle.” In the article there was a quote that, in a manner of speaking, changed my life: “We can’t out exercise a bad diet.”

Wait…what? I CAN’T?! I have been doing that all my adult life! I run marathons, I work out, I cross train, I walk the dog. I can eat whatever I want because I am active and my body will process all my food as pure premium unleaded fuel. The exercise was the filter to my Brita water pitcher. Pizza in, nourished athlete out. I hadn’t been so misled since my late beloved mother told me I was the most handsome man in the universe.

In a glorious turn of fate, around the same time I read Chad’s article and quote, my friend Rebecca suggested we do this new fandangled thing called Whole30. *Puts finger up to ear to listen closely to breaking details* Oh, I’m sorry, I’m being told by my impudent daughter that Whole30 was introduced back in 2009. So, like I said, new and fandangled.

A quick rundown about the program: no dairy, no sugar, no grains. You can eat fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, nuts (except for peanuts) and lean protein. This is just an overview, research the plan further if interested. My first two days were some of the most difficult: headaches, lack of energy, a bit of anger. I like sugar, I won’t mince words with you. Sugar was a vegetable at one time, either a sugar beet or cane sugar, so what’s the big deal?

I held true to the program. In the middle of the month, I had my annual physical. My doctor has always tried to lower my bad cholesterol

(not terribly high but high enough), raise my good cholesterol (tried statins, niacin, nothing worked). My blood work came back and everything was right where it should be. My good cholesterol was higher, my bad lower and all was right with the world.

After the first two weeks, I had an awakening.

All was good. Food matters but in a different way than I was accustomed to. I started cooking with coconut oil or olive oil. I started to appreciate fresh fruit again, how it tastes better than that swill in a vending machine. I cooked more thoughtfully and became so much more mindful about what I was eating. I took the emotion out of food and looked at what I was ingesting and why. I forgot to mention the true reason for trying this. Rebecca had said that after she tried the program a couple months back, all her inflammation in her joints went away. There are many inflammatory foods that can affect your joints.

That’s the reason I tried this. My knee was hurting and my elbow. After the first two weeks, no pain.

I have since ended the Whole30. I am staying fairly close to the program but I occasionally eat some bread, an occasional slice of pizza or have a little cream in my coffee but just not as much as before. What has worked for me is the awareness I have gained about what and why I eat the food that I eat. Try the program out, see what you

think. And as always, consult your doctor or your eye rolling champion spouse/child before use.

A Meal

1 fresh chicken breast ½ medium onion, julienne 1 tsp. chopped garlic 1 Tbs. coconut oil Seasoning, salt, pepper, Cajun pepper, whatever you feel like Heat up coconut oil in pan and add onions and garlic. Let sizzle for a couple minutes. Add chicken breasts and whatever seasoning you like, salt, pepper, thyme, basil, oregano, Cajun, whatever you have a taste for. Cook until the chicken has an internal temperature of 165.

Salad

Spring greens Any fresh vegetables that you like or can imagine: Cauliflower, broccoli, green peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, kale, asparagus Olive oil Balsamic vinegar Salt and pepper Amounts of vegetables depends on whether you are preparing for one person or 100.

Fresh fruit for dessert.

Be kind to your body and your body will respond in kind.

STORIES

Mishaps and misadventures

runners navigate the always challenging conditions at the mdra mudball. Photo by Wayne Kryduba

BY NATE LECKBAND

A

nother issue, another column of

misadventures. This time, runners share stories of races that didn’t go quite as planned — one fall and one off course adventure.

I’ve had my fair share of race mishaps. A couple memorable falls include a trip off the shoulder during a Ragnar Relay that ended in a nasty gash across my forearm courtesy of the guardrail. Another fall at the end of a 50K resulted in nothing more than some minor skinned knees and scraped hands.

I’ve also got turned around in a few races.

One wrong turn cost me a podium finish as I

12

SUMMER 2018

went from second to sixth. Another cost me a PR as I added almost half a mile to a seven mile race.

My worst course error occurred at the 2016 PNC Bank Milwaukee Marathon, and that time it wasn’t really my fault. A citizen of Milwaukee thought it would be funny to throw some turnaround cones off the Hank Aaron Trail into the woods, and the volunteer course marshal in charge of directing the turnaround traffic failed to show up.

After I figured out to turn around, my extra mileage put any sort of finish time I would have been happy with well out of range. By the time I reached the finish, I’d run almost 29 miles.

While my falls and running off course were memorable, they weren’t nearly as memorable as the stories below.

Falling in a 5K

Mallory Henderson, from Sylacauga, Alabama, told me about a fall during a 5K in Talladega, Alabama. Mallory followed the example of her parents, ultramarathon directors, and began running when she was a kid. Here’s her story: A few years ago, I was running a color run 5K in Talladega, Alabama. Usually I do longer distances (ultra marathons), but I was running this one for fun. I was almost done running when I heard a man tell his son that we were almost to the finish line — less than a mile away!

STORIES The run was at night, and the cement was not even. It was more like melted gravel: very bumpy. I tripped and fell on BOTH knees. I was running around 8:30 minutes per mile when I fell, and I think my adrenaline made me pop right back up thinking I could start running again.

Then, I looked down at my legs, and my left knee was pouring blood so fast it was already all over my shoe. A lady behind me asked if I was okay, and when she saw my knee she proceeded to take her shirt off, rip it with her mouth, and make me a bandage. She told me she was a nurse and that my knee was cut deep and that I needed to get medical assistance right away. She helped me walk to find my parents who were waiting for me at the finish line.

The day after my fall I took a rest day to let my body heal. I didn’t run for a whole week, but on day two after my fall I went for a walk in my neighborhood because I couldn’t stand to be cooped up inside. It was painful because of the pressure built around my knee but I think it helped me heal faster.

Canadian Claim to Fame

Beth Sims, from Eden Prairie, Minnesota, stays busy. In between teaching music and raising two children, she has run 55 marathons in 14 states. Her favorite is Grandma’s Marathon which starts right outside her hometown of Two Harbors. Here’s her story of a race day mishap: I ran the Pride of Canada Marathon in September 2004. During the race I found myself as the first female in a field of about 25. I was feeling pretty amazing when an official on a bike came up to me and said, “I’m supposed to tell you that you’re going the wrong way.” It turns out I was about a mile off course and I had to turn around and get back on track.

I told the official, “I’m gonna need your bike,” and I hopped on his bike and continued back to the spot where I had turned wrong. I leaped off the bike and continued running. The first water station I came to after that I asked the women sitting there, “Am I still the first girl?” and she said, “Yep!” I finished in 3:46 and ended up winning for the women. They gave me a Canadian Post puffy vest and a voucher for a free hotel, along with a tiny trophy. It’s a fun story to tell, and 55 marathons later, I haven’t even come close to winning another one. I call it my “claim to fame.”

That’s all for stories of mistakes, mishaps, and misadventures. Have a mishap, mistake or misadventure to share? Email me at: leckbann@gmail.com.

Tips for dealing with or preventing running mishaps While many running mishaps can be innocuous, some are no laughing matter. To prevent running mishaps, or at least mitigate them, there are several simple things you can do. Use good judgment in deciding which you should use depending on circumstances.

Here are my top six: 1. Run with an ID Whether it be a Road ID bracelet or a driver’s license, having identification will make it easier for your loved ones to be contacted in the event of an emergency.

2. Plan your route Know where you’re going and tell someone else where you’re going.

3. Be prepared for the weather Dress properly for hot and cold weather. Three-quarter tights might be nice for the fall and spring, but on a hot summer day you might get uncomfortable. In the winter dress in layers—it’s easier to peel a layer off than wish you’d dressed warmer. On hot days, slow down and have a plan for hydrating and staying cooler—shaded routes are best on hot days.

4. Carry a cell phone Maps, emergency contacts, and the ability to hail a ride are all at your fingertips. You might not carry a cell every time, but for longer runs and runs in unfamiliar places, it’s a good idea.

5. Run in the dark with care Use well lit routes, wear reflective clothing, use a headlamp, and be aware of your surroundings.

6. Protect yourself Unfortunately, there are unsavory characters out there, but there are also ways to stay safe from them. Running in daylight, crossing the street if you see someone suspicious, knowing self-defense and/or carrying mace or pepper, and running with group or with a dog are all things you can do to improve your safety.

STRESS

RECOVER

Don’t forget about the importance of recovery

BY MARK JOHNSON

T

here are many forms of stress in our

lives as runners. Of course, we have the stress we place on our bodies when we run. But there are many other types of stress we need to account for to maximize our running potential. Here are some tips on how to properly account for all of these stresses in your life.

When we run or strength train, we stress our bodies. These are good stresses. We use these stresses to get faster and stronger. Here’s the important thing to remember: Our bodies require stress to break down tissue and we need recovery to rebuild that tissue. If we keep breaking down the tissue without allowing it to recover, we’re setting ourselves up for injury. Let the tissue rebuild. That’s how we become stronger.

You’ve likely heard of this described as the stress/recovery cycle. When we stress a specific system, we need to let that system recover. That doesn’t always mean complete rest. Sometimes, active recovery (walks, easy bike ride, massage) is the best approach versus total rest. Everyone is different and will need a different recovery method and time. It’s also important to note, as we age it can take longer to recover. We need to respect this, or we’ll most likely end up injured.

In addition to the stress we place on our bodies from running and strength training, we have stress from our daily lives. This could be from work, anxiety, grief, family or many other psychological stresses. These stresses can increase your stress hormones and eventually your ability to recover from the good stresses of running and strength training will become difficult to impossible.

So, what can we do to keep the bad stress from impairing our ability to become stronger and faster? First and foremost, determine if a stress can be eliminated. If you’re stressed from being in traffic and running late repeatedly, try leaving a little earlier so the traffic isn’t quite as stressful to you. You can also meditate, practice yoga, laugh, take daily walks, read a book, put together a puzzle, work in the garden or anything else that helps you. Some stresses can’t be eliminated. If this is the case, you need to respect that stress and factor it into your training. This isn’t a matter of just ignoring it and being tough.

These stresses are real and have an impact on

SUMMER 2018

your training and your ability to recover. Respect these stresses by factoring in more recovery time as needed into your training.

Do your best to pay attention to all the different stresses in your life. Be aware of them and take appropriate steps to eliminate or reduce

them as much as possible. I think you’ll find this self-awareness will help you better deal with these stresses and soon you’ll be back to performing at the level you’re capable of.

NUTRITION

RECOVERY

Smoothies are a great way to recover from a hot summer run

BY RENEE KORCZAK

O

ptimal nutrition is key for a suc-

cessful run during any season, but during the summer months, runners are faced with training in higher temperatures and humidity. Establishing a proper hydration plan that includes adequate fluid and electrolytes is necessary to prevent heat related illness and unwanted weight fluctuations. In sports nutrition practice, it is common to check body weights prior to training and then during the post training recovery period.

Runners and other athletes who lose weight after exercise are advised to consume fluids to avoid dehydration and replace losses from sweat (1). The general rule of thumb is that for every pound lost during exercise, a minimum of 16 fluid ounces should be consumed. For example, a 150 pound runner (68 kg) who weighs in at 147 pounds (66.8 kg) post run, should consume a minimum of 48 fluid ounces (about six cups) to replace fluid and sweat electrolyte losses.

To help sustain fluid and electrolyte balance during endurance exercise, some runners consume sports beverages containing carbohydrates and electrolytes including sodium and potassium. During the post exercise period however, when electrolyte, fluid, carbohydrate and protein intake is necessary to replenish stores and repair muscle tissue, many athletes get bored with water and are not immediately hungry for a well-balanced meal. If you do not experience hunger or thirst shortly after your run, you may want to consider trying a smoothie.

Smoothies are a great way to recover from a run and they can be made with nutrient dense ingredients such as spinach, kale, avocado, protein powder, berries, etc. If you suffer from lactose intolerance or are sensitive to dairy, you can use alternate sources of milk as your base and then add your favorite protein powder. In terms of protein powder, whey proteins tend to be superior because they are rapidly digested and absorbed and help you recover from your workout faster. However, if you are sensitive to whey, many plant proteins exist

in the market place and can be substituted for whey.

Here are some new smoothie recipes that I’ve recently experimented with in my kitchen.

To make smoothies in batches to help prepare for a busy week, remember to adjust your portions accordingly. Enjoy!

Spinach Apple Smoothie

Serving Size 8 fluid ounces Serves 1 Ingredients 1 cup baby spinach 1 small apple diced (your choice) *Green apples and Pink Lady apples work great in this recipe 1 small ripe banana 1 cup water ½ cup ice 20 grams of protein powder (your choice) *Depending on the brand of protein powder that you buy, this can be 1 or 2 scoops or 1 individual packet of powder, see the nutrition facts label on your powder to help guide you Directions: Clean the spinach and apple, then dice your apple into small cubes. Place all smoothie ingredients into a blender and blend until all ingredients are evenly processed.

Enjoy!

Blueberry Chocolate Almond Milk Smoothie

Serving Size 8 fluid ounces Serves 1 Ingredients ½ cup frozen blueberries (fresh blueberries work, too) 1 small ripe banana 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 Tablespoon honey 1 Tablespoon natural peanut butter ½ cup water 1 cup chocolate almond milk 20 grams protein powder(your choice) *Depending on the brand of protein powder that you buy, this can be 1 or 2 scoops or 1 individual packet of powder, see the nutrition facts label on your powder to help guide you

Directions: Place all smoothie ingredients into a blender and blend until all ingredients are evenly processed. Enjoy!

Choco-Strawberry Smoothie

Serving Size 8 fluid ounces Serves 1 Ingredients 1/2 cup fresh strawberries diced 20 grams chocolate protein powder 1 cup plain almond milk *Regular skim milk or lactose-free milk also works in this recipe Directions: Place all smoothie ingredients into a blender and blend until all ingredients are evenly processed. Enjoy!

KwePack is like family; the bonds go deeper than running

BY SARAH BARKER

K

we means woman in the Ojibwe lan-

guage, but it infers something more like a sacred, life giving being. In the same way, KwePack is more than a running group to the Anishinaabe women who live in and around the Fond du Lac Reservation.

They’ve described the group as lifesaving, spiritual, cultural, empowering, like family and a darn good time.

“I’m part of a group of strong, supportive, super badass, native ultra runners. Day-to-day, it’s hard to remember how profound that is,” said Sarah Agaton Howes, one of KwePack’s organizers. “It’s changed my life, and it’s changed my community.”

That’s a pretty big reach for a grassroots group with no website, no funding, no bylaws,

no officers and no set schedule of meetings. In fact, eight years ago, there was no group—just individual women determined to change their lives and show their children a better path.

Chally Topping Thompson is one of those women. In 2007, she was overweight, lacked self esteem and smoked. She decided to change that. “You know how you get this craving for a cigarette,” she said. “I thought I’d walk it off and that was alright, so I thought running would be even better. I went one block and, holy man, I was so out of breath I couldn’t even think about a cigarette. I had not done sports in high school but I stuck with running because I could make it a little further every time. I felt good about meeting these little goals I made for myself.”

She signed up for 5Ks, investing in regulation running gear so as not to look like “an Indian girl from the rez.” Five kilometers turned

into five miles, six miles, and in 2010, Grandma’s half marathon—but she continued to train on her own, self-conscious of being “a chubby girl running.”

In this same time period just a few miles away, Sarah Agaton Howes had had two children and was well on her way to the diabetes and high blood pressure that plagued her entire family. She too embarked on a radical lifestyle change that included running a few miles.

“I was standing at the start of the 2010 Diabetes Prevention 5K on the reservation—most people walk it—wearing my husband’s shorts and a t-shirt, and I saw this other native woman standing there. In actual running clothes,” Agaton Howes said. “It blew my mind—I had not seen a native woman who was a serious runner. That was Chally. She came over and was like, ‘Hey you should do Grandma’s half with Continued on page 18 SUMMER 2018

COMMUNITY me,’ and I told her she was crazy. But seeing her planted a seed in my mind.”

That meeting kickstarted Agaton Howes’ “run stalker” mode—a moniker given her by the KwePack that she proudly owns. She’s a community organizer by nature and training, and realized the key to regaining health was to return to traditional Anishinaabe ways—eating healthy, being physically active, and most of all, building a community of support around that sort of life.

Other native women were struggling to do the same thing, but in isolation. Agaton Howes, the indefatigable run stalker, got their numbers and unleashed the power of the KwePack.

“I’m a pack animal; I do better in a pack,” she explained. “Two or three women, we started running together once a week, partly for safety. We found out right away how powerful it was to be with other native women, how we felt supported and strong together. When we’re out there in the woods in a group, I’m really aware that these are our ancestors’ trails. It feels right. There are lots of running groups in the world—for whatever reason, we haven’t joined those spaces. We were making a space for us to feel comfortable.”

“Sarah kept inviting me to run with her,” Thompson recalled. “I’m an introvert and the body shaming came up again, but eventually I started joining them.”

Still, there was no official KwePack. It was just a few native women meeting up on the weekend or over lunch hour to go for a run. They took their time, they laughed, they snapped photos and talked about kids and jobs and life as an Anishinaabe woman. If some ran ahead, they stopped and waited so no one got lost, no one was left behind. Sometimes they went up the shore to a different part of the Superior Hiking Trail, but always the group aspect and socializing figured as prominently as the running.

Though most of the women had little or no running experience, they quickly ramped up their mileage and took to the trails in and around Fond du Lac. It was almost inevitable that the Superior Trail Races became their homecoming event. “It’s in a beautiful, powerful place, and it’s just hard enough that you feel like you might not make it. But you will.

And you’ll come out changed. I just love that,” Agaton Howes said. “You’ll go from This is so stupid to This is incredible—every possible human emotion. I call it practiced hardship— running ultras makes us stronger, to deal with all the hardship in our lives.”

Not everyone was as philosophical about practicing hardship. Thompson, ever the straight shooter, did not sugarcoat: “I hated

COMMUNITY trail running at first. It was so hard, I couldn’t breathe, my pace was so slow. But Sarah and me, we’ve run a lot of hard miles together.

That’s what builds those bonds.”

Over the course of two years, KwePack grew, partly through Agaton Howes’ active recruiting and partly through referrals from Fond du Lac health services—”If someone came in with depression, they’d say, ‘You should go run with these women,’” Agaton Howes said. But they resisted formalizing the group until, nervous about their first go at the rugged Superior 25K in 2013, the five entrants made up KwePack t-shirts for a shot of team confidence.

“Up until that point we didn’t realize how impactful we were,” Thompson said. “But at that race, we had a presence. People noticed five brown girls running. We were super nervous and giddy, and out on the trail, one of us started howling. Then another one howled further up. We were howling encouragement to each other out there in the woods. The next year, there were 17 KwePack women at that race.”

Nichole Diver was one of those Superior neophytes in 2014. She recalled that the 15.5 miles of technical terrain was made even more difficult by ankle deep mud and offhandedly mentioned that that was the first race she’d ever run. But the memory that really stuck out?

“I ran about 85 percent of that race alone.

When I was almost done, I saw Chally—she’d waited almost an hour so she could finish the race with me.”

Diver, who worked with Thompson at Fond du Lac human services, had two children close in age. She suffered postpartum depression, but kept that battle to herself. She and Thompson started running on their lunch hour as part of a pact to be generally healthier. For Diver, joining up with the whole KwePack for group runs was “more about socializing with these amazing women—running was a bonus.” As simple as the premise was—miles of conversation and postrun coffee—the impact was complex and all encompassing. Diver lost over 100 pounds, she sailed through her third pregnancy with no depression, completing last year’s Superior 25K in her eighth month. This year, the mother of an eight-year-old, a six-year-old and a 10-month-old crushed the race’s 50K course.

As a witness to his wife’s transformation, Diver’s husband spoke in awe of KwePack: “I am so grateful to those women.”

“KwePack is like family; the bonds go deeper than running,” Diver said. “They made my daughter her first pair of moccasins; they’re preparing her for life.

She’s 47 and has two teenage children. She’d run, off and on, but joining a bunch of younger women, accomplished trail runners with hydration vests and training plans? “Absolutely not. I was too slow, too clumsy, not fit enough.

It would be awful,” St. George reeled off her initial thoughts. “But Sarah [Agaton Howes] just invites people. She said three or four other women were coming out to her house for a run around Big Lake, about 10K, which is farther than I’d ever run in my life, and that it would be great and I should come. This was in January.

There was something so easy and confident about how she put it out there, like of course I could do it. And I believed her.”

Howes’ breezy invitation opened the door but if the experience had not, in fact, been fun, St. George said she wouldn’t have returned.

It was fun—practicing hardship would come later—she did go back, and five months down the road, she completed the Superior 25K. “I’ve struggled with depression all my life. When I said yes to running the 25K—as crazy as that seemed—the cloud lifted,” St. George said in wonder. “I had a goal and a group of interesting people to do it with. So, there’s the community piece, but running changes your brain chemistry. This is the first time in my life I’ve been a regular runner, and it’s had enormous impact

on my mental and emotional health. I look at that day I went out to Sarah’s to run with them as the pivotal moment of my life getting better.”

As many thorny issues as KwePack has managed to untangle, problems are rarely spoken of directly—no judgments are made nor is advice given. Like when young and cocky Amelia LeGarde showed up for group runs still drunk, sweating merlot: No one mentioned it.

“They knew if I just kept running, I’d figure it out on my own, and that’s what happened,” LeGarde said. “It’s hard to put in miles to the point where you’re feeling better because working through anger and sadness, those emotions are amplified. It’s a lot easier to just grab a drink, and, less sweaty. But like with that first [Superior] 25K, I put one foot in front of the other and got through it. I applied that to the rest of my life.”

While KwePack’s camaraderie (and the party-dampening 7:00 a.m. group runs) started her down the path, ultimately getting pregnant put an end to her drinking. “I had a desire to show my daughter a different way of living. That’s something we all share,” LeGarde said.

Like many KwePack runners, the group’s effect for her was synergistic—the women were Continued on page 20 SUMMER 2018

COMMUNITY

simply fun to hang out with, which made it easy to live healthier and to try new things and set big goals, like running a 50K. And when those goals were achieved, the ensuing confidence reinforced the whole upward cycle.

But a lot of running groups provide the same sort of structure for success. KwePack’s Anishinaabe context (they’re all native) sets it apart from other running groups—that’s purposeful and important, as close to a rule as this rule-averse group ventures. KwePack provides a safe space and understanding about “messy pasts and messy lives,” as Rebecca St. George described the Anishinaabe experience, that generic groups can’t. But as their numbers have grown and their presence felt, they’re aware that carving out an indigenous-only space—irony notwithstanding—automatically leaves non-native women on the outside.

“The cultural piece is the biggest for me,” LeGarde said. “That’s the reason I feel a connection with this group and not some other. It’s powerful and spiritual to be together as native women, but at the same time, it feels exclusive. Many of us come from homes where one of our parents is non-native, so we’re trying to navigate that.”

As usual, all 21 KwePack runners and their families stayed together the night before this past May’s Superior Trail Races. And, as usual, they waited together for every pack member to finish. Looking around at the finish line crowd, KwePack’s effect could be seen in grateful spouses, inspired friends and healthy children who think running is just something all moms do.

Muddy and sweaty and beaming, KwePack runners had the look of women who had accomplished much more than a tough race.

CLUB PROFILE

TCTC Kids City CrossCountry hits its fourth year The club’s league begins in August

BY KELLY BOLER

T

he Twin Cities Track Club (TCTC) is

excited to move into our fourth year of the youth cross country league in Minneapolis and St Paul in 2018. The league runs from August 13 through October 4 and is open to boys and girls entering grades three through eight in the fall of 2018. Given the rather large age range, practices and meets will often be split into smaller groups based on age and/or ability.

There are six team locations this year including: Como Park, Highland Park, Linden Hills, Theodore Wirth, St Louis Park and West Metro (Minnetonka).

Each program will meet Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6 to 7 p.m.; West Metro location will meet Mondays and Wednesdays; these days and times may vary based on the availability of the coaches. The season will include an All-Twin Cities championship meet in St Paul at Como Park on Tuesday, October 2. Distances for the meet are 1K, 2K and 3K. Our coaches have said of the league, “it’s a unique opportunity to introduce young athletes to a sport they likely have had no exposure to.

Most schools in the Twin Cities metro do not begin to offer cross country until high school, leaving a huge population of athletes unexposed to the sport until 14 or 15. The Kids Cross Country League introduces children in third through eighth grade to cross country and is growing the next generation of distance runners for our local community. I can recall countless times that both parents and athletes have praised our program for the introduction to the sport. Cross country is a beautiful mixture of individual development and team camaraderie that welcomes athletes of all ability levels. As a coach, I take great pride in helping grow interest in the sport, as well as build confidence and fitness in young athletes.”

Past participants also praise the program.

One female runner recalled, “I ran in five seasons of the TCTC cross country league and had no prior running experience. The practices were fun, laid-back, educational and the coaches

Members of the Twin Cities Track club pose for a photo. The league begin Aug. 13 and runs through Oct. 4 this year. Submitted photo were all really amazing. I learned about running, stamina and good sportsmanship. After running in this league, I plan to continue running in high school and in the future as a hobby.”

The league has a $50 registration fee that provides each participant with a tshirt, eight weeks of instruction from our coaches and free participation in the city meets. Thanks to the Minnesota Distance Running Association Community Giving Grant, 10 need based scholar-

ships are available to those who cannot afford the registration fee.

Each participant will also become a TCTC member and will therefore be covered under the club’s insurance. In addition, TCTC will provide background checks for all program directors, coaches and volunteers to ensure the safety and well-being of the children.

Decisions

GEAR

Where should you spend your running dollar?

BY NATHAN CAMPEAU

I

’ve developed a bit of a reputation around

the MDRA newsroom for my hard hitting reporting. I was the first to tell you that Run Gum doesn’t taste very good and that there is such a thing as an overpriced 5K. I’m taking my investigative journalism to the next level by unraveling the mystery of internet shopping.

While we may come from different running backgrounds and have different running goals, there is one thing that unites us (well, at least the vast majority of us): we all need running shoes. And when we need running shoes or apparel, we typically can go to one of three sources: locally owned running stores, national chains (running and sports apparel stores) and, most recently, the internet.

How do we make decisions about where to shop for our running gear? What are the benefits of shopping at one type of store versus another?

These are the questions I wanted to answer.

To be honest, I came at this question with some amount of bias, or at least a lack of experience. In the past 15 years, I have only purchased running shoes and apparel at locally owned running stores. But I do know people who shop either at national chains or online, and I certainly have chosen national stores and online shopping options for other items (work clothing, household goods, etc.), so I can relate to the decisions that other people make in their running shopping.

I started by speaking with a number of people who make different decisions about where to shop for running gear as well as representatives of several locally owned running stores, and came up with a list of factors and themes that were important in deciding where to shop: 1. Convenience 2. Price 3.

Local Economy Support 4.

Expert Knowledge 5.

Convenience

Everyone I spoke to mentioned convenience as an important factor, regardless of whether

they shopped online or shopped locally. Some people (like me) run in their shoes until they absolutely need a new pair STAT and appreciate the convenience of our many locally owned running stores. Some people are perhaps more organized and have less free time to stop by a brickand-mortar, and thus prefer the convenience of online shopping. I judged this factor as a bit of wash—convenience depends on perspective, location and lifestyle. So far, our three contenders are running stride for stride.

Price

Because of my experiences with other purchases, I have always assumed that shopping online or at a chain was less expensive than shopping at a locally owned running store. I figured I was paying a little more to support the local economy and keep the Minnesota running scene strong. Well, my altruism was destroyed when I learned that shopping locally (with your

MDRA discount) is the same or less expensive than online or chain stores!

I did a price comparison of my favorite road shoe (Asics DS Trainer) and trail shoe (Nike Terra Kiger) at a few locally owned running stores, two popular online warehouses (Road Runner Sports and Running Warehouse) and two national chains (Running Room and Dick’s Sporting Goods). I used the MDRA discount price (generally varies from 10 to 20 percent) and any club or frequent purchase discount I could find on the online and chain stores for a fair comparison.

What I found surprised me. For my Asics DS Trainers, buying locally costs me between $96 and $108 but would not cost any less online ($105 to $108). I could not even find my beloved shoes at the national chains. For my Nike Terra Kigers, I spend around $100 at most locally owned shoe stores, but online would spend anywhere from $100 to $125, and $125 at a national chain.

GEAR Local Chain Online Asics DS Trainer $96-108 NA $105-108 Nike Terra Kiger $100 $125 $100-$125 And local stores are able to stock shoes that you can’t find elsewhere. Jeff Metzdorff of Mill City Running Co. told me, “Specialty stores often get exclusive brands and models that aren’t available anywhere else.” In their new Athletic Club, Mill City plans to put up pop up brand sales to promote new and interesting brands not widely available.

With price accounted for, our contenders have come off the turn nearly neck and neck, with local running stores, thanks to their brand innovation, a step in front.

Local Economy Support

If there’s essentially little difference in the prices that we pay online, at chain stores and at locally owned running stores, the next question is: where does our shoe and apparel money go?

Well, certainly a good portion of what we pay for that Nike shoe goes straight to the factory and office workers in Asia and Beaverton regardless of where we buy the shoe, but what about the rest? If we buy online none of the money stays locally here in Minnesota, with the exception of money that goes to those employed in package delivery.

If we’re shopping at a chain, we’re supporting the workers at that store, but the profits are taken back up to the company’s headquarters.

But if you shop locally, essentially every dollar beyond the wholesale price stays right here in our economy and continues to drive economic activity. In fact, a study of retail in Salt Lake City published in Civic Economics in December 2012 found that 52 percent of revenue from local retailers stayed in the local economy as compared to just 14 percent of the revenue of chain retail (not to mention the nearly zero impact of online stores). That’s almost four times the local impact just by shopping at locally owned stores! With that additional economic activity circulating in our communities, we all benefit.

Our locally owned running stores promote local economic activity in other ways, too. Every locally owned store that I’m aware of purchases apparel and prints t-shirts from local sources.

Fleet Feet Marathon Sports has long supported and sold Stunt Puppy leashes for dog running.

Run N Fun, along with other stores, buys their winter hats from Wear-a-Knit in Cloquet. Mill City purchases over half a dozen items locally, with a focus on local art, promoting and selling artful greeting cards made by Jillian Tholen and coffee mugs thrown by Grey Fox Pottery, located a block from the running store.

Locally owned running stores form partnerships and hold events with other small, locally

Submitted photo owned businesses with compatible missions and some with questionable connections to running. Many stores hold regular events with yoga studios, chiropractors and gyms, such as the Performance Running Gym. And hardly a week goes by without a brewery or donut run put on by one of the stores, all featuring locally sourced food and beverage. Our locally owned

running stores have fully infiltrated and are an important part of Minnesota’s economy. On the backstretch, locally owned stores have taken the lead.

We’re rounding the last turn and expert knowledge is where locally owned running stores Continued on page 24 SUMMER 2018

GEAR start to gap the field. Running stores hire seasoned athletes and shoe experts who take the time to work with you to evaluate your running form (almost all have treadmills) and help you identify the perfect running shoe. This resource is important because, as many of us have painfully learned, shoe companies always tweak our favorite shoes which may make the next version less optimal for our running needs. Zac Schendel of Fleet Feet Marathon Sports (a sponsor of many MDRA races) told me, “We provide our customers with a great shopping experience. We truly hope that the greatest benefit our customers get when shopping with us is properly fit footwear, apparel and running accessories. We hope that they benefit from our knowledge of running, running products and the local running scene.”

Running stores stay up on shoe changes and will help you get the perfect shoe year after year.

And when we need specialty running shoes, again, the knowledge of a running and shoe expert applying their knowledge to your specific running needs is something that cannot be replicated online. How many of us trail runners have made a special pilgrimage to TC Running Co. to meet with the Godfather and find the right trail shoe for a specific trail? And how many former and current cross country and track runners out there laced up their first pair of spikes at Run N Fun? Kari Bach puts it succinctly: “At Run N Fun customers get properly fit, friendly service and a great selection. They can see, touch and feel what they are buying.”

Locally owned running stores and some chain stores (including Running Room) hire local running experts with knowledge and experience tailored to each customer that’s hard to find at most chain stores and online.

Community Building

The community benefits are where locally owned running stores just bury the competition in that final straightaway. I could write a whole series of articles about the positive community impact of our locally owned running stores. I’m going to describe the impact of a few stores that I’m more familiar with (due to geographic proximity), but the community support provided by locally owned running stores across the state is incredible. I encourage you to ask your local store how they support the community. If they tell you (most are humble), you’ll be blown away.

Local stores support the local running community in a variety of ways, from supporting elite athletes to beginning runners. Run N Fun provides support to sub elite distance runners (my wife is one) and helps highly competitive post collegiate runners continue to chase their run-

ning goals. Run N Fun also financially supports high school running teams and ensures that no student athlete will go without shoes for lack of financial resources.

Running stores not only support the running community, they build it. The Lakes Running Co. has opened their doors early on weekends and has quickly become the long run home for a number of running groups. With the pancake runs and supported long runs, Mill City Running Co. has built a whole community of runners and have brought in hundreds of new runners to the running and racing community. Jeff Metzdorff says, “60 percent of our customers are shopping at a specialty running store for the first time. At Mill City, we are excited when you run your first 5K and will be your cheerleader.”

Our local running stores give back to the community through contributions to charities and nonprofits. Mill City is a partner with Mile in My Shoes, a nonprofit that helps those at homeless shelters and transitional housing facilities enter the sport of running. Fleet Feet Marathon Sports provides gift cards to many charity races as prizes and provides financial support of grass roots races, including (in full disclosure) many MDRA races. Run N Fun provides shoes to homeless shelters and numerous gift cards and baskets to various charities. Kari Bach, owner of Run N Fun, said, “Our passion particularly lies with children and our military men and women.”

And our local stores support the running community in unexpected ways as well. Anyone who has run Zumbro or the Superior races know that when they get to the TC Running Co. and Mill City aid stations, whether it’s at mile five or mile 90, they are going to be treated like a superstar with enthusiastic cheering and support. I can still hear Bekah Metzdorff’s (owner of Mill City) cheering ringing in my ears and, when I’m really hungry on a long run, can taste the pizza from TC Running Co.’s aid station.

Finally, when our running community deals with tragedy, our local running stores are there grieving with us and supporting us. When a close MDRA running friend passed away a few years ago, Fleet Feet Marathon Sports opened their doors to us for a memorial run and let a couple hundred of us take over their store for an informal memorial and time of remembrance. And when, earlier this year, another dear MDRA friend passed away, every running store sent condolences and many employees of stores came to the funeral as part of a larger showing of support by the entire Twin Cities running community. I’m getting a little choked up writing this, and I’m

grateful for the role that our locally owned running stores play in our running community.

To be fair, national chains and even online stores often place a priority on charitable giving across the country and one national chain, Running Room, does sponsor local running groups, races and has even provided wonderful financial support to MDRA over the years. However, if you want to be certain that you’re spending your money at a store that is 100 percent focused on supporting the Minnesota running community, you can’t go wrong with a locally owned running store.

Victory Lap

I promise that I didn’t set out for this article to read like a love letter to locally owned running stores, but the more research I did, the more impressed I became. I am fully convinced that these stores are treasures that we should support. I am sure that chain stores and online retailers are staffed by wonderful people and, often, knowledgeable running experts, but I believe that the benefits to our community and to ourselves in shopping locally are very clear. I’ve only specifically mentioned a few running stores that I’m familiar with, but these values and benefits are shared by all of our community’s locally owned running stores. I encourage you to get to know your local store owners and employees and find out how they make our running community stronger. Below is a list of Minnesota’s locally owned running stores.
