CONTRIBUTORS

STEVE DeBOER Steve DeBoer moved to Minnesota at the age of six months and began running shortly thereafter. Since July 20, 1970, Steve has run every day, which gives him the fifth longest running streak in the United States and the longest east of the Rockies. Steve moved to southern Minnesota in 1987, allowing him to get in a few more shirtless runs each year. In his spare time, he works as a registered dietitian at the Mayo Clinic.

WAYNE GILMAN Wayne Gilman is a superintendent for Pine City School District and a lifelong runner. He was born and raised in the Mankato area. His wife, Jenny, is also a runner. Besides work and running, they both keep busy raising their two daughters. Wayne runs marathons, trail races and is starting to run ultramarathons.

PATRICK O’REGAN Pat O’Regan is a runner and freelance business writer. He is a graduate of St. Thomas College and the University of Minnesota. Born and raised in Montgomery, Minnesota, Pat currently resides in Inver Grove Heights. He runs eight to 10 races a year, mostly 5Ks and 10Ks, with two marathons to his credit. He has also “competed” in three National Championships.

JOE UHAN Joe Uhan is originally from Eveleth, Minnesota. He now resides in Eugene, Oregon, where he’s a physical therapist, coach and athlete. A competitive runner for 17 years, he was the bronze medalist at the USATF 100K Trail National Championship. You can check out his blog at http://joeuhan.blogspot.com/.

ANN NOSER Ann Noser Noser developed a passion for long distance running alongside her UW-Eau Claire Cross Country teammates. The passing years (don’t ask how many!) led the small animal veterinarian to Rochester, MN. After her father’s death from chronic lymphocytic leukemia, she became inspired to fundraise and race a half marathon in his memory.

Dear RunMinnesota Readers, Why do you run? Do you run for the endorphin rush? Do you run for the social aspects? Like me, most of you are running for all of these reasons and more. This summer, many of you have likely been running, training, and now tapering to achieve a specific goal at the Twin Cities Marathon. A lot of you have been doing that training with the MDRA Fall Training Class. This year’s Fall Marathon Training Program has been another successful one, with a record number of well over 100 runners. The class includes runners of all abilities and experience levels. We have runners training for their first race and runners working on the fiftieth. The coaches Gloria Jansen, Sheila Becker and Denny Jordan, and a multitude of team leaders, have been fantastic and helped to create a wonderful training experience. In my opinion, the best part of training with a group is the connection I feel as a member of the larger running community. It’s been a long time since I ran my first marathon, but I can vicariously experience the anticipation and excitement that first time marathoners feel when I train with them. I may not be running blazing speeds out there and qualifying for the Olympic Trials, but I can run, for short distances, with people who have achieved and will achieve that kind of running success. And, of course, running with people is usually more enjoyable than listening to an iPod. If you’re looking for a training group to help you towards your next race or to just give you motivation to get out the door and run, thankfully we have a plethora of running groups in Minnesota to choose from. You can find links to many of these groups at www.runmdra.org. If you’d like to join an MDRA group, we’d love to have you along. After TCM, we’ll kick off the Polar Bear training runs that occur every Saturday morning until late February. We also have a group called Track, Trails and Tundra that meets every Thursday at 6:30 p.m. Both of these groups are free and open to anyone, MDRA member or not. Please consider joining us for a run. Details can be found at www.runmdra.org under the “Programs” link. I am grateful to all of my fellow runners who have run with me, encouraged me and made running more fun. I know it helps me during my training and racing to know that I have a group of fellow runners going through the same struggles and enjoying the highs & lows that occur over the course of any marathon. I’ll be excited to see so many of you post marathon and hear your stories and experiences of the day.

It’s been a long time since I ran my first marathon, but I can vicariously experience the anticipation and excitement that first time marathoners feel when I train with them.” Nathan Campeau began running in 1997 as a way to explore his new surroundings in Washington, D.C. He fell in love with running and ran the first of his 20 marathons in 2000. In 2003, Nathan discovered the beauty of the Minneapolis trail system while running the Twin Cities Marathon. A few months later, he moved to Minnesota and immediately joined MDRA. During his near decade with MDRA, Nathan has coached several MDRA marathon training programs and has served on the MDRA board for over two years.

SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2012

FROM YOU Dear RunMinnesota, I really enjoyed Candy Patrin’s piece, “When Ribbons Told the Story,” in the July/August issue of RunMinnesota. I have been running since I was 13, so nearly 30 years, and I remember and miss the runs during my early running that were very low key by today’s standards. Your article was timely for me, since I recently ran the TCRC 5K, part of the MDRA 15K. I felt that that run took me back to the runs I have missed, since it didn’t have a fancy medal for each finisher, and actually had a cotton shirt for participants (which I prefer) and was managed by my favorite running store, TC Running. I’m not old by any means, nor do I want to sound miserly, but I do miss the runs of yesterday, which also had a community feel and not today’s larger runs where everyone is more interested in showing off their new running gear. Thanks again for a great read!

Let us know what you think. Scott Bunner

BOOK REVIEWS BY WAYNE GILMAN

Running After Prefontaine: A Memoir

Expressions of Aging By John Keston with Richard A. Lovett

By Scott F. Parker This memoir is a series of essays that delve into the mind of a runner. Mr. Parker’s ruminations were filled with thoughts and reflections of running and the legendary Prefontaine. The nature of his writing included true and authentic details about running. His descriptions are vivid. Only a runner with a good memory and a keen ability to write could capture the essence of running in this way. While I believed everything he said about his experiences as a runner, I also know that I personally don’t remember that much about any given run. My basic running amnesia is likely what keeps me going back for more. Since I so conveniently forget the general discomfort of a hard run, I also forget about the ruffed grouse that chased me on the Itasca trails or the eagle that flew over my head. I don’t necessarily remember seeing my first lady slipper on a run or the multiple times I tripped on a rock or a root on the trails. It all blends into that very natural activity of running and sweating out on the roads and trails. Some say we are born to run. Maybe we run and become born again in some way. When asked why I run marathons, I have responded that in all the discomfort and difficulty, something about the experience is transcendent. Something is inherently good about running and something in the act of running feels good. This is all I know. It is enough to keep me going back out there to run year after year. I recommend this book, because Parker writes well. I am not a personal fan of collections of essays, because I have a short attention span. But, the arc of a story or narrative holds my focus a bit longer. I now think I know what “qua” means, but I am not sure. Prefontaine and Oregon will resonate more with people that have come from there. This book is a solid piece. I look forward to seeing what else Scott Parker writes in the future.

SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2012

When I think about aging or the elderly I think of things ending or things lost. This is what I thought about as I started this book. However, once I read the first chapter, I couldn’t resist pushing through to the end. Two parallel stories were woven through the entire book. One tells a story of a young man growing up during World War II and beyond. The other tells of a series of running achievements that include setting a world record at the Twin Cities Marathon for his age (71 at that time). Mr. Keston is a gifted runner and singer. His tenor voice and acting talent gained him as much notoriety as his running achievements. At the Grandma’s Marathon Expo, I met John Keston. I wished I would have read the book before meeting him. He is approaching 90, and I am sure he will continue to run and race as long as he is able. This book was a major surprise for me. It was a joy to read. The walk through history from his perspective was amazing. John’s story is one that needed to be shared. His experiences with Bemidji, Grandma’s Marathon and Twin Cities Marathon should resonate for many Minnesotans. John traveled the globe and is exceptionally gifted and blessed. I recommend this book. The content and life experiences are an inspiration. He has helped me see that my running years are far from over. Read this book. You won’t regret it.

100,000 MILES

Minnesota’s Long, Long Distance Runners Mike Setter, Steve Kohorst and Al Gilman join the 100K club BY STEPHEN DeBOER As was reported in RunMinnesota previously in Part I, January/February 2011 and Part II, November/December 2011, Minnesota has a signiﬁcant number of lifelong distance runners who have run more than 100,000 miles. This year, three more individuals have been identiﬁed, giving Minnesota a total of 19.

The new inductees: Mike Setter (age 56): How did you get started running? I got started running in Michigan after watching Erich Segal on television give an over-the-top example of what Frank Shorter might eat the night before his 1976 Olympic Marathon. I thought, that skinny guy can eat all that? Running might be for me (25 pounds heavier at the time). But first, I better walk. So, the day of the marathon, I ate a gargantuan breakfast and then mostly walked the marathon distance (not Rick Recker certified). My legs starting hurting so terribly that I had to jog part of the way to try to relieve some of the pain. What is a favorite memory of running or racing? I’m not going to mention Minnesota memories, because I wouldn’t know where to begin, and there would be no end. I have three pre-Minnesota: (1) my first race in the spring of 1977. 1:08:13 15K somewhere in southwestern Michigan, organized by Hal Higdon. Frank Shorter was

there. I was ahead of him for the first 50 yards as there was confusion about the age graded start, and he had to stop signing autographs and start tying his shoelaces. After the race, I saw him running some more. Mind boggling, (2) my first marathon in 2:55:01 in Idaho Falls, Idaho, in 1981 and (3) my second marathon in 2:37:09 in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, in 1990. What percentage of your running has been in Minnesota? About 60 percent: 60,000 miles in Minnesota since October 1993. Much of the rest was in Idaho. I did a good chunk in Texas and Bavaria, Germany, when I did a four year enlistment in the Air Force in the 80s. The first two years, I also ran in Indiana, North Dakota and Michigan. What is your total mileage as of June 30, 2012? 102,000 miles. Any future goals related to running? Just to keep doing it. And to have my ashes spread around Lake Calhoun when I reach the last finish line, so Goetzke can keep trampling me.

How did you get started running? I started while in the Army in 1972. Saw the benefit of jogging/running long distances in basic training. Continued with that thought when I got out of the service in 1974. Started keeping track in March of 1976.

out for football, but I only lasted two weeks. We got a new basketball coach, and he started the cross country program. He wanted us out for cross country or football to get ready for basketball, so I went out for cross country. I won my first eight races and went to state. That probably got me hooked.

What is a favorite memory of running or racing? My favorite memory was probably qualifying to run Boston back in 1981, when the qualifier was under 2:50.

What is a favorite memory of running or racing? There have been many good memories. But winning the 1974 Lando-Lakes Marathon and running my PR of 2:29:25 is a favorite.

What were your highest and lowest mileage years? Highest mileage year was back in the 80s and was 4,000 plus. Lowest was last year at 2,289 because of injuries.

What were your highest and lowest mileage years? What percentage of your running has been in Minnesota? Lowest yearly mileage would be somewhere under 1,000 and highest somewhere over 4,000, and over 95 percent of it in Minnesota.

Steve Kohorst (age 61):

What is your total mileage as of June 30, 2012? My recorded mileage is 116,200 miles. Any future goals related to running? I would just like to continue running and racing as long as possible. I think I can get a few age records if I stay healthy.

Al Gilman (age 65): How did you get started running? I was out for track my sophomore year of high school. We had no cross country program, and I went

What is your total mileage as of June 30, 2012? 110,000 miles, at it for nearly 50 years, and I am shooting for another 50,000. With at least 19 Minnesotans having run six digit mileage in a population of just over 5,305,000 (2010 census), our rate of 3.58 per million is more than twice as high as any other state. Currently, 20 percent of Minnesotans are running daily, which is also the highest rate in the country. Guess we can’t find much else to do here.

U LT R A RU N N I NG “Conﬁdence: the food of the wise man and the liquor of the fool.” -Vikram, The Oﬃce* *Uttered, I’m sure, by someone else prior to him.

Fear Management Mitigating ultra running’s scariest moments BY JOE UHAN Ultra marathons are scary. No, really. Yes, all races are “scary.” You train hard, you want to run your best, you’re nervous. You toe the line and hope your shoes don’t come untied. You hope it doesn’t hurt too badly. You worry that, when you try to run your goal pace, that all works out. As a road and track runner, those things worried me. But they weren’t frightening. In my first marathon, Grandma’s Marathon in 1997, I hurt so bad that I lied down in the grass along London Road for several minutes. Track miles can feel awful. 10Ks are the worst pain. But none of this was scary. But ultras can be truly terrifying. When bad things happen in an ultra, two things frequently happen that rarely, if ever, happen in road races. First, when you’re hurting and you stop, you’re in the middle of the wilderness. When I lied down during Grandma’s, I was within sight of the “DNF School Bus” that luxuriously transported all my fellow roadkill to the finish line. It was tempting, but before I could pull the trigger, I was strongly encouraged to get up and keep moving. Either from an enthusiastic spectator or from the homeowner whose lawn I’d extempo-

SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2012

Ultras are scary, but perhaps that’s their draw. The degree of risk equates to adventure; the ability to rebound can be as exhilarating as a fast, problem free race. But they’re still scary. And risk management, as well as fear management, play a huge role in preparation and execution... raneously squatted upon. When you’re hurting bad, you can be in some scary places in an ultra: a 13,000 foot ridgeline with blustery winds and sleet at Hardrock or in the bottom of a searing hot canyon at Western States, with no way out but up. You could be the only one around for a two mile radius, even in the middle of the race. Decisions to quit or to keep going in ultras must be carefully weighed, knowing that once you leave that aid station, your next opportunity for respite might be an hour away. Second, when you’re hurting and stop, the hurting often doesn’t stop. Even in the most intense track races, the pain lasts only a score of breaths before relief arrives. In ultras, the body pain, dizziness and nausea can last for hours. Ultras really are scary. Some of the most frightening, gut wrenching moments I’ve ever experienced have occurred amongst ultra running and racing, including: Shuffling along the shores of Folsom Lake, in full suffer mode, with 22 miles to go, at American River 50 Miler. Hobbling along Quarry Road in the pitch darkness at mile 91, unable to discern upgrade from downgrade at Western States. Doubled over in gut rot in desolate wilderness in sub-50 degree temperatures and damp conditions with 20 miles to go and fading sunlight at Three Sisters. Sitting at The Pump at Robin-

son Flat, too tired to yell or wave for a ride back down the Divide, with a full marathon of canyons to go, during a Squaw to Michigan Bluff run. Staggering along Lithia Park, completely cashed of carbohydrates and unable to run another step, in Ashland, Oregon. Those were scary moments, to feel that down and to be so far away from “home.” None of these scary moments resolved quickly, but eventually they all turned around. And nearly all had a successful finish: American River 50 Miler: A strong rebound for tenth place. My first “resurrection experience.” Western States, 2011: Fortieth place in 20:02, in a race I was lucky to even run. Three Sisters: A successful, but chilly, circumnavigation with daylight to spare. Squaw to Michigan Bluff: “Resurrection II.” Ashland: A well timed Vanilla GU and a water refill, equaled success. Ultras are scary, but perhaps that’s their draw. The degree of risk equates to adventure; the ability to rebound can be as exhilarating as a fast, problem free race. But they’re still scary. And risk management, as well as fear management, play a huge role in preparation and execution, especially for 100 mile races. At iRunFar.com, Andy JonesWilkins has written several pieces on mental factors and preparation. What he says is true: we

train the brain as much as the body to race. We train for pain, so that when problems arise, as they invariably do in ultras, we are able to cope. Moreover, training harder lessens the likelihood severity of trouble. Right? Not really. If anything, the opposite can happen. I’m enamored with the book, Deep Survival. One of the many points author Laurence Gonzales makes is this: we take risk relative to the degree of safety we feel. That said, if we feel safer, we’ll push the envelope farther, or faster, than if a particular activity was risky. In many cases, perceived safety causes more trouble than if these safety factors didn’t exist. As such, going into a race such as Western States, especially buoyed by excellent preparation and good health, it is easy to feel overly confident or, just as dangerous, underestimate relative risk. You run harder, sooner. Or you ignore vital information about yourself or your environment. And trouble is right around the corner. Indeed, then, to be confident without being wise can have severe consequences. Consider: looking back at more recent Western States races from 2006 to 2011, if you arrived at Robinson Flat at mile 30 in the top 10, you had a 30 to 50 percent chance of not finishing. Why does this happen? Are these runners unprepared or weak? Not likely. Most were strong, talented runners. Some were inexperienced. This represents a DNF rate of roughly two to four times that of the race, at-large. Did they go for the win and quit when it was out of their hands? Maybe a few. Or maybe they pushed big and got in big trouble. Perhaps they simply didn’t manage risk, or fear, well enough. Managing risk, as Gonzales points out, involves perceiving

ever changing reality, such as fitness and pacing, nutrition, competition, trail conditions, temperature, one’s own psyche, and making constant adjustments. Ultimate success rests not in making perfect adjustments all the time. Rather, it may just be the recognition of your new reality, accepting it and being willing to adjust in some way with the least delay. Geoff Roes ran low on calories at the foot of Devil’s Thumb in Western States 2010. His choices included, pushing onward with the leaders, ignoring the building misery in his legs or backing off and taking care of himself.He chose the latter. As he told iRunFar, post-race, “I must’ve taken nearly 1,000 calories in the next two-and-ahalf hours” in response to the change in how his body felt. This made his second half surge possible, and he went on to win the race in record time. But managing fear is just as important. I’ve read of fear being referred to as, “a bear in a cage,” and that one must learn to dance around it, neither avoiding or ignoring it. Running hard and fast early, or before the finish is within reach, can be scary. So can simply taking another step when you can barely stand. But indeed, there are times to identify risk and back away and a time to embrace it, to “wrestle fear to the ground.” My hope for me, and the rest of my competitors, is that I can effectively manage risk, and ultimately fear, for a successful race. I just hope that I can do it better than the rest of them.

Running Revisited Conﬁdence recaptured along tribute half marathon journey BY ANN NOSER

hree years ago, my father, Jerry Anderson, lost his battle with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Near the end, even bending down to tie his shoes winded him. He was always cold, no matter how many layers of clothes he wore. Every few weeks, he had to undergo blood transfusions just to stay alive. His struggle is why I registered with Team In Training, an organization which encourages volunteers to race, bike and swim their way to fitness as they raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Raising over $2,000 was the easy part. Getting my 41-year-old body back into good enough shape to survive the Minneapolis Half Marathon proved more of a challenge. I wasn’t exactly a couch potato, but I hadn’t raced in 10 years. In the meantime, I had transformed, twice, from Princess Leia into Jabba the Hut. During both pregnancies, I padded my 5’2” frame with 50 pounds to emulate the actress Kate Hudson. Don’t get me wrong. My kids are great, but being pregnant was no pleasure cruise. From the moment of conception, I retained water like a sponge, developed a raging case of gestational diabetes and melted all my muscles to mush. By the end of each pregnancy, I couldn’t breathe, sleep or eat, much less exercise. But real runners don’t make excuses. They just run, probably because they’re addicted. I understand. Twenty years after my short stint with the University of

Wisconsin at Eau Claire cross country team, I still missed the feeling of accomplishment after a good workout. Racing with a team left me with bittersweet memories and chronic IT band issues. But when my college teammate suggested running for my Dad, I laced up my brand new shoes and got to work. Fortunately, walking the dog had dissolved the colossal pregnancy weight, but training was still exhausting. It took me nine months to run more than two miles at a time. After my track workouts, I would nearly fall asleep driving home. Week by week, mile by mile, my strength, endurance and muscle tone improved. One Saturday, I planned to run for an hour and a half. Eighty minutes into the run, something popped. This is when I should have stopped, but sometimes runners are stubborn. Or stupid. During those extra 10 minutes, my IT band got tighter. And tighter. Haunting memories of IT band horror flooded my frantic mind. During my late twenties and early thirties, I consulted multiple doctors and physical therapists, used a knee brace, back brace and had steroids ultrasounded into my hip. My skin got irritated from all the icing. I swallowed so much ibuprofen it caused gastro-intestinal distress. Sports massage, yoga and swimming didn’t fix it. The elliptical machine bored me out of my mind, so I tried in line skating. That’s when things turned deadly. Almost. During my second excursion on those treacherous wheels, I attempted to level a bridge with my

I backed down on my running mileage and started over. Twice. By the day of the race, most of my long runs had been only an hour. But, I was determined to run, walk or crawl across that finish line. body. Innocent bystanders watched me fly down a steep incline and smack into a post to avoid killing some clueless man apparently deaf to my scream of, “Get out of the wayyyyyyyyyy.” Now here I was, struggling with the same old injury. I had hoped that signing up for a good cause would “save” me. But, bargaining with God wasn’t going to help. I did yoga DVDs until I had all the crummy jokes memorized. I fell in love with my foam roller. As it gently stretched out my taut IT band, I crooned, “No one makes me feel like you do,” while my husband got jealous. And, I tried to strengthen my core, once I figured out what it was. I backed down on my running mileage and started over. Twice. By the time of the Minneapolis Half Marathon, most of my long runs had been only an hour. But, I was determined to run, walk or crawl across that finish line. On race day, I had three things going for me: (1) the weather was perfect, (2) my patient running partner coached me through my “bite me” moments with a knowing smile and (3) there were so many participants, it would have

been impossible to walk even if I had wanted to. Plus, a grey haired gentleman scampered just ahead of me, flashing his entire right butt cheek for the last few miles. For some reason, I couldn’t let him out of my sight. If Grandpa Flimsy Shorts could do this, so could I. In the end, my time wasn’t stellar at 2:02:58, but it was a heck of a lot better than the three hours I had expected from my less than ideal training. And only four days later, I anxiously awaited my next run. Even better, all the “I can’t do this” self-destructive mental garbage that crowded my brain during college races had disappeared. During the first 10 miles, all I wanted to do was run. “Weeeeeeee. This is fun.” For the last 3.1, all I wanted to do was swear. “Where the hell is that finish line?” No more, “I can’t do this” attitude. Just like Dad always told me to, I finally believed in myself. I can do whatever I want now. And I want to run.

o run well requires two attributes: talent and a passion for running. While talent is life long, passions come and go. Many talented runners stop running when the gun no longer goes off for them. Others keep on running, sometimes just as hard, no matter that they slow down over the years, because they love it. For more than 50 years, Bruce Mortenson has been one of the best runners around. In addition to his talent, he has a lifelong, unquenchable passion for the sport. Two days before the interview, Bruce had run 18 miles on trails in a local park. Regularly, he runs four to five miles in the morning and often does a long run in the

afternoon with the track and cross country teams he coaches. Recently, he completed a year without missing a day of running. In his lifetime, Bruce has run 64 marathons and logged over 100,000 miles Runners are some of the happiest people around. This is certainly true of Bruce. He has a ready laugh, a quick and articulate mind and an irrepressible, boyish good humor.

Beginnings Born on the last day of 1943, Bruce got off to an early running start. His father, athletically inclined himself as a football and basketball player, worked as a security guard for an elementary school. As a youngster, Bruce would sometimes come to work

with him, because there was a track at the school. Apparently, more than just romping in the streets with his friends, this more earnest experience of running fed his young soul. People with talent get noticed, especially if Coach Roy Griak is in the area. As a ninth grader, for physical education class, Bruce was required to run the 440. Inspired by running against an outstanding quarter miler, he ran the race in 62 seconds. “All of a sudden,” Bruce recalled, “I had an arm around my shoulder and he [Coach Griak] was saying, ‘What are you doing in the fall?’” St. Louis Park High School Under the direction of Coach Griak, who looms over the world of track and field in this part of the country like a mystic presence, touching the lives of countless runners, and with the help of assistant coach Lefty Wright, Bruce went on to have a sterling running career in high school. The first year, in his first effort, he ran the mile in 4:59, later in the season lowering his time to 4:43. He was hooked on running. Throughout the summer, he ran on a golf course, alone mostly, and ran a lot of interval work. As a junior, in a cross country dual meet, Bruce kept pace with Rick Anderson, one of the best runners in the state, causing the legendary coach Al Haley to exclaim, “Who is that kid?” He would be sixth in the state cross country meet. As a senior, he would finish

second in cross country to Larry Bronson, the terrific runner from Hibbing, Minnesota. But it was on the track that Bruce’s star really shone. In his junior year, he won the state mile in 4:26. As a senior, he repeated as champion in the mile in about the same time, also anchoring the mile relay to the state championship. Winning that mile relay, he said, “was one of the highlights of my running career. Because I’m not a sprinter. I was doing something that’s not a part of who I am” (yes, but his PR in the 440 is 49.9). That year, St. Louis Park won the state championship. “It’s much more fun,” he said, “when you win as a team.” One of the noble attributes of the mind is the urge to give it all you’ve got. After his first state championship in the mile, Bruce began writing to the great coach Bill Bowerman of the University of Oregon. The Coach responded with short, encouraging letters. Why Oregon? Coach Griak had been giving Bruce copies of Track and Field News. Bruce was well aware of the merits of the Oregon running program.

University of Oregon Before the move to Oregon, during a visit to the campus, Bruce had seen a steeplechase race. It touched a chord within him. In that race, he would find his greatest success as a runner for the University of Oregon Ducks. He ran through the summer and then was off to Eugene, Oregon, the home

After graduating in 1966, Bruce stayed in Eugene for a couple years, working for the small sporting goods company that would become Nike. Seeing no future there (okay, so he’s not a businessman), he moved back to Minnesota... of the University of Oregon, without a scholarship (the University of Minnesota would have given him a full ride), thinking, “Okay, then, it’ll work out.” At Oregon, Bruce added more distance to his training. The team would run the famous Butte Trail and often sought out new places to run in the countryside around Eugene. At this time, the great New Zealand coach Arthur Lydiard came to wide notice, with his philosophy of long, slow runs. Freshmen didn’t compete with varsity then, but Bruce won the steeplechase at the Vancouver Relays. The freshman coach, Chuck Bowles, a friend ever since, was a great help. As for Coach Bowerman, in Bruce’s words, “Coach Griak was such a great guy, like a father figure. He could be tough, but you always knew he cared. I felt close to him then, and I still do. “With Bowerman, you never knew where you stood. He was a crusty old guy, and hard. Praise did not come easy. If he said something to you, you took it to heart. He was extremely intelligent and creative” (a co-founder of Nike, he made spikes for Bruce and the others on the team). “He was an entrepreneur, a scientist and a coach all rolled into one. There was no babysitting [with him]. He expected you to be independent.” Do the work, or fall off the team. The hard work was paying off. As a sophomore, at the NCAA Championships, on successive days, Bruce ran the 10K, 5K and steeplechase. He finished eighth

in the steeplechase (fourth among Oregon runners). He also set his PR in the mile (4:10). But he really broke out from the pack in his junior year. At the PAC 8 and NCAA Championships, he won the steeplechase, lowering his PR to 8:59. His performances led to an invitation to the World Cross Country Championship in Morocco, where he finished a respectable sixty-ninth. His teammate, Tracy Smith, Bruce noted, was third. It might be mentioned here that Bruce has run against or become acquainted with a pantheon of the best runners in the U.S. of his time: Kenny Moore (his roommate at Oregon), Frank Shorter, Mike Slack, Tracy Smith, Steve Prefontaine (“A tough guy. But a very nice guy. Very intense and focused, with a heart of gold. A guy who was enthusiastic about life, about everything he did.”), Gerry Lindgren (a “ragtag” looking kid), Doug Brown, Jeff Galloway, Don Timm, Ron Daws and so forth. As a senior, Bruce finished third in the steeplechase at the NCAA Championships.

After Oregon After graduating in 1966, Bruce stayed in Eugene for a couple years, working for the small sporting goods company that would become Nike. Seeing no future there (okay, so he’s not a businessman), he moved back to Minnesota, to Rochester, and got a job working for the state as a rehabilitation specialist, a career he would pursue for over 30 years. With his

positive, buoyant attitude, he must have encouraged a lot of people in that time. And he ran, changing to road races, namely the marathon. The only regret Bruce voiced in the interview was not training at altitude after Oregon. “I was a good altitude runner,” he said. “If I had gone to altitude right out of college, I might have done pretty well.” But injury took him out of the 1968 Olympic Trials, which were held at altitude in Echo Summit, California. He went on to become an outstanding marathoner, winning both the Drake Relays Marathon and the Paavo Nurmi Marathon in Hurley, Wisconsin, in 1970 and 1971. He would run the Boston Marathon a number of times. In 1972, he was sixth in that race, on a warm day, in 2:19. Just two and a half months later, he ran the Olympic Trials. But the Boston run had left him spent. “I ran myself out of the Trials,” he said. He just loved to run. When asked if he looked forward to the Olympic Trials as a goal, he said, “Not really. I just wanted to run well.” Perhaps it’s telling to note that went asked how many Twin Cities Marathons he has run, Bruce said, “I don’t know. I don’t keep track.”

Running as a Master When Bruce moved to the Twin Cities from Rochester for good, he and other outstanding runners, including Suker, Ankrum, Whetham and Mondry, started a Saturday morning running group. Every Saturday morning, down to 15 below, they ran 20 miles. Starting at seven minutes per mile, they’d up the pace, until they were running the last miles at five and a half. In addition, Bruce would run a hard track workout on Tuesdays and a tempo run one of the other days. And a four to five mile run in the morning was a regular feature of his running. Bruce averred that his best years of running were in his early to mid 40s. At 41, he ran the Twin Cities and Grandma’s Marathons in 2:22. At age 45, he still ran the marathon in 2:26. But he also had

terrific range at this time, running the 5K in 15:19, the 8K in 25:12, the 10K in 31:24 and the 50K in 2:59. “I could have run faster [when I was younger],” he said, “because I was still running well into my 40s.” He said he lacked the intense focus of runners like Prefontaine, Shorter, Moore and others. But running itself was the thing. “I still love to go out every day,” he said. “If I don’t run, I feel crummy.” Starting as a volunteer, now he’s a coach, Bruce works with the Eden Prairie boys and girls track and cross country teams. He runs the long runs with them. “It’s fun,” he said. “We all know each other throughout the conference.” Every meet is a get together. “It’s like going back to high school. My wife [Rosie] (after meeting on a blind date, they’ve been married 39 years) says that the reason I get along with the kids so well is because I’m at their maturity level.” Perhaps in some way, Rosie is right. And isn’t it wonderful? Now, of course, like all of us older runners, Bruce, at almost 69, is slowing down. “I don’t have the speed, anymore,” he said. Or the recovery. And he doesn’t push himself into the pain of running like he used to. But it scarcely matters. His love of running is undiminished. As he recalled, during a trip to the Olympic Trials this year, held again in Eugene, perhaps feeling inspired, he went to the Oregon coast and ran 11 miles on the beach. “There was nobody around,” he said. “Just the waves, the ocean, the sand and me running along. That was wonderful. Life doesn’t get any better than that.” Carter Holmes contributed to this article.

Membership totals for each month include online registrations that aren’t paid for until the following month. Those new members and renewals are then included in that months membership chart.

COMMITTEE REPORTS

RunMinnesota: Currently working on the September/October issue. That issue will be the first that board members will write the President’s letter column. We will need to think of a catchy new title for that column that runs in the front of the magazine each issue.

Advocacy: No report. Club Administration: An online voting model for MDRA business is functional and undergoing testing. Mail-in voting will remain an option. Programs: The Fall Marathon Program is underway with solid registration numbers, currently at 92 with more expected. Coaches this session are Gloria Jansen, Sheila Becker and Denny Jordan. Heather Kick-Abrahamson is leading a women’s running program meeting in Edina each Wednesday through the end of the summer. Road Runners Club of America (RRCA) coaches’ certification class will be held October 13-14 at Life Time Fitness in St Louis Park. MDRA has several members taking the class in preparation to lead future MDRA marathon training classes. The board discussed providing a stipend/scholarship to assist future and present MDRA coaches with course/exam fees related to this (or USATF) coaching certifications. Promotions: Window clings and business cards are in! Grandma’s expo went well with lots of foot traffic at the MDRA booth. We signed approximately two dozen new and/or renewed memberships. Publications: MDRA is currently seeking material for the summer issues. Contact Heidi Miler at hmiler@hotmail.com with story ideas. Various board members will write and make contributions to a “Letter from the Board” to be published beginning with September/October issue of RunMinnesota. This will replace or be interchanged with the “President’s Letter”. Race: Budgets for City of Lakes 25K (COL) and the MDRA 15K were approved, and race planning for COL will be finalized this month. Minnehaha fun runs continue this month with strong participation. We are ready and looking forward to the Como Park Cross Country Relays coming up in August.

COMMITTEE REPORTS Advocacy: No report. Next report due in July. Club Administration: Board member Jim Delaplain brought a proposed amendment to the MDRA Bylaws regarding board elections. His proposal revised and updated section 4.8 which deals with Election of Directors. Jim updated language to make the election process more standardized from year to year and clarified the voting process for the membership of MDRA. He will have his final draft of this proposal for the board to vote on at the September meeting. Programs: The Fall Marathon Program now has over 100 paid participants with new runners joining weekly. There was some discussion to add a paid support position to the coaching staff as it is a great deal of work to put out water stops at many locations each week and focus on coaching. Many thanks to Rob Lundquist for his volunteer services as he currently handles much of these water stop duties but isn’t always available. Promotions: MDRA will have a booth at the Lady Speed Stick Women’s Half Marathon and the Twin Cities Marathon, possibly Mankato Marathon as well. Publications: : It is time to start putting the 2013 edition of Running Minnesota together. Editor, Barb Leininger has sent an email survey to all previous race listings. The deadline to get this information in is September 30. There are links to the survey on our website and www.runningventures.com.

USATF: Melissa reported there will be a USATF meeting next month.

Race: MDRA rented equipment to 10 races since the last equipment report. The total income was $705.00. MDRA also used the equipment at 3 MDRA races. The MDRA 15K was this past weekend on Sunday, August 12. The 15K had excellent numbers while the 5K was much smaller than last year.

Old Business: No old business.

USATF: No report

New Business: No new business.

Old Business: No old business. New Business: The September board meeting is going to be the 3rd Monday of the month, September, 17, 2013.
