Dear RunMinnesota Readers, Congratulations are again in order!

For the third consecutive year, the Twin Cities metropolitan area has been ranked as the healthiest and fittest among the 50 largest suburban areas in the United States. The ranking was released by the American College of Sports Medicine in the 2013 American Fitness Index™ Report.

The top ranking was supported by many factors including the abundant parkland, low levels of chronic disease and a high percentage of the population engaging in regular physical activity. As many MDRA members are well aware, we are also very fortunate to have an extensive trail system, a plentiful selection of health clubs and fitness facilities and many outstanding running clubs within the Twin Cities and throughout the entire state of Minnesota. These factors, and many more, make life in Minnesota ideal for residents wishing to adopt and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Nevertheless, healthy living still does not come easily for many. In June, the American Medical Association voted to adopt a policy recognizing obesity as a diagnosable disease that requires a range of medical and lifestyle interventions focused on treatment and prevention strategies.

Although the obesity rate in Minnesota compares favorably to most states (ranking thirty-sixth overall in 2011), we are not immune to this epidemic. In Minnesota, an estimated 25.7 percent of the adult population was classified as obese in 2011 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Proper nutrition and regular physical activity are two of the most modifiable lifestyle behaviors that contribute to the maintenance of a health body weight and substantial improvements to overall health.

In 2008, the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans was first published by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Among these key guidelines is the recommendation for all adults to complete a weekly minimum of 150 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity, 75 minutes of vigorous intensity physical activity or any equivalent combination of moderate and vigorous intensity physical activity.

Advertising Coordinator/Sales: Heidi Keller Miler

Results: Jack Moran

Nationwide, the prevalence rate of adults achieving these recommendations remains unacceptably low. Subsequently, earlier this year, a legislative bill, titled the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans Act, was introduced into both the Senate and House of Representatives. If passed, the bill would direct the HHS to prepare and promote updated physical activity guidelines at least every 10 years based on the latest scientific evidence.

Additionally, a midcourse report highlighting the best practices and continuing issues pertaining to physical activity among Americans would be released every five years. The Federal Physical Activity Guidelines Coalition has been created to advocate for the passage of this legislation.

MDRA is proud to be among the many organizations that have signed on in support of this movement to promote passage of the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans Act. Likewise, MDRA encourages our members to remain active within the running community, as a participant runner, a volunteer in support of local running events and an advocate for healthy lifestyle behaviors, including safe running. Share your passion for fitness and running by encouraging others to join MDRA, our programs and our races.

Keep running Minnesota, just for the health of it.

Women Run the Cities Event to Mark Seventh Year 3,000 Participating in 10 Mile, 5K, Girls One Mile

BY PATRICIA GOODWIN

A

t a time when there was a gap in all-female running events in the Twin Cities, Women Run the Cities was first held in 2007 and attracted some 900 participants.

On September 22, Women Run the Cities, which includes a women’s 10 mile run, a women’s 5K run/walk and a girls’ one mile run, will mark its seventh year with a field of 3,000 in the various races that will be held at Minnehaha Park.

Last year, ESPN named Women Run the Cities one of the five best races for women in the country.

But perhaps as interesting is that the event was created and is still put on by a volunteer group that had not previously operated a running event: the Minnesota Commercial Real Estate Women (MNCREW).

“We thought it was a great idea for our organization since we are women who get things done,” said Meghan Huber, director of Business Development at JE Dunn Construction, who founded the event.

“In 2006, MNCREW was looking for something that could be a signature event, something with size and magnitude. So that summer, I presented the idea for a race to the board. They were supportive of it from the beginning.”

Along with co-chair Mary Sands and a MNCREW race committee, Huber began the planning process, which was going well until August 1, 2007. “We had decided to hold the race in downtown Minneapolis in September

with a start and finish on the Stone Arch Bridge,” said Huber, who started running in her 30s and has now run five marathons.

“But then the bridge collapse occurred, and we needed to scramble for another route, because the Park Board told us our original course was not going to be available. At least half the field for that first race had already signed up, so we had to notify them about the change in venue to Minnehaha Park.

“It was definitely nerve-wracking, especially since it was our first time doing something like this. But in hindsight, the change was a good one. We ended up with a better venue at Minnehaha and still could run both sides of the river.”

The majority of the proceeds from Women Run the Cities benefit the Ann Bancroft Foundation’s “Dare to Dream” and “Let Me Play” grants for girls as well as the CREW Network Foundation, which assists with the advancement of women in commercial real estate.

“We had a person in MNCREW who played softball with Ann Bancroft, so we went to her and presented our race idea to them and they were thrilled,” said Huber, who stepped back from being one of the chairs of Women Run the Cities in 2012. “We were all about serving girls and women and underserved groups, so it has been a nice fit.

“One of the things I like about the event is that it’s all done by women. We put a lot of our time and effort and energy in it.

There’s just a ton of heart in-

volved in putting on this race, and it’s well executed.”

Emily Nicoll has run either the 5K or 10 mile every year the Women Run the Cities event has been held. As a senior associate at CBRE, she’s also a member of MNCREW and has served as president of the organization and is on the Women Run the Cities race committee.

“I started running 5Ks 10 years ago and really stuck to the 5K ranks,” said Nicoll. “It wasn’t until Women Run the Cities came along that I went beyond this distance.

Seeing women doing the 10 mile at this event I thought I could give this a shot too. It changes your expectations of yourself. In many ways, this event is like MNCREW. We are a volunteer organization that challenges ourselves to do something we didn’t think we could do.

“There is an incredible collaboration and support at this event for women and girls. It just seems that the boundaries between people aren’t there. I’ve run the 10 mile race three times, but this year

I’ll be back to doing the 5K. My second child will be born this summer, so this event will be a great thing to put on my calendar to get back in shape.”

The 10 mile race starts at 8:00 a.m., the girls’ 12 and under one mile run at 8:10 a.m. and the women’s 5K run/walk at 8:30 a.m.

“MNCREW’s Women Run the Cities provides a venue for women and girls of all ages to physically challenge themselves in a non-intimidating environment,” said Beth Dutcher, one of three race directors for this year’s event along with Robin Armstrong, of Stewart Title, and Tamara Simon, of Infinia Bank. “Sharing a running and walking event with thousands of women is a source of inspiration and power that lasts well beyond race day.”

AnnMarie Busack will be there to run the 5K and her two daughters, ages 10 and 11, will do the girls’ one mile. “I had heard about this event for years,” said Busack, who lives in Blaine. “My sister and

RACING

Race Strategy: It’s All in Your Head

BY KRISTY POPP

I

grew up spending weekends at races, competed in track and cross country throughout high school and college and have coached ever since. Despite the thousands of races I’ve been a part of, I still get butterflies when the gun is up and the crowd is silent.

If I’m not trying to get a prime coaching or viewing location, one of my favorite things to do is stand by the starting line and notice the facial expressions of the competitors. There are inevitably looks of intensity, excitement, anger and disbelief that they’re doing this to themselves. Again.

And on the rare occasion, you might even catch someone smiling.

If you really want to see an athlete who’s happy to be racing, elite junior 100 meter hurdler, Michelle Jenneke, is your girl. It’s not foolproof, but that facial expression is suggestive of the athlete’s mental state. The better you know that athlete, the more you understand what their facial expression means about their attitude.

What makes this a fascinating topic is the simple truth that everyone deals with the stress and joy of racing in different ways. You can be in fantastic shape, complete months of uninterrupted training and taper appropriately, but if your mental game is lacking, none of these things matter.

You become your own worst enemy. Even the most elite runners in the world have to continually work on mental strategies. Finding a way to deal effectively with your own race day “chatter” can make all the difference.

Last week, I had the opportunity to speak with an athlete I worked with at Iowa State: four time NCAA Division I national champion and 2012 U.S. Olympic 10K runner, Lisa (Koll) Uhl. She was willing to share some of her struggles and strategies to improve her mental performance on race day.

Prior to a big race, does your natural mental state tend to be more positive or negative?

LU: I tend to have negative mental chatter. It has taken many years to learn tactics that work for me to change this to positive chatter. I’ve found that what works best is thinking of a recent race or workout that went very well, or a race where I didn’t think I would run well but completely surprised myself. This helps me turn the negative chatter into positive thoughts.

What are some of the most important things you do to mentally prepare for competition? Do you have any rituals?

LU: I don’t really have rituals. If I ever start having a superstition or ritual, I try to break it, because you never know what is going to be thrown at you before a competition or in preparation for one. One of the most important mental things I do before racing is visualizing the race for a few minutes before bed and preparing myself for the moments where it is going to hurt, and I am going to have to make the decision to let it hurt.

I also choose a power-word to use during the race to help me focus. For example, “strength” or “guts” or whatever I feel will help me stay emotionally and mentally connected to what I am doing when it gets tough.

Do you have tricks you use to help stay in/shift to a positive place?

LU: One trick I use besides my power-word is thinking of a person in my life who has motivated me or supported me. It makes me feel like I am doing something for reasons bigger than myself and always gives me a little extra boost when I need it.

What are some of the biggest factors that influence your emotional state heading into a race?

I’ve often had runners ask what they are supposed to think while racing. What do you think about when a race is going well?

LU: Confidence in my preparation. If preparation has gone perfectly and I can take confidence from either the workouts I have completed or recent successful races, I find I can enter a race very emotionally sound and ready to go.

LU: I’m usually just thinking about being prepared for pain to set in and being ready to respond to that. I never let my guard down

JULY/AUGUST 2013

until I have crossed the finish line.

What do you think about when a race isn’t going well?

LU: I use my power-word, and I stay forward looking. I try not to think about what is behind me, or what may be coming past me. I just focus on one lap or one person at a time. By breaking the race down into small pieces, it helps me stay focused and gain some positive momentum.

Was there ever a point in your career where your mental state heading into races was drastically different than it is now? If so, what factors do you think lead to the shift?

LU: In high school, I had extreme race anxiety and nerves. The more I raced, the more I found tactics that help me settle that anxiety and calm those negative thoughts.

I talked to other athletes and learned strategies from them (that’s how I got introduced to the power-word idea).

By the time I was about halfway through my college career I really felt that I had found a way to deal with the negative aspect of the nervousness and channel that energy into something positive. However, no matter how big the race, I still have some sort of anxiety beforehand (obviously the more important the race, the higher the level), and I am still learning new and improved ways of focusing it into positive thoughts as I progress in my career.

Get comfortable in your own head.

While your goal might not be to make the Olympic team or even to finish in the top portion of your age group, if you’re toeing the line, having some mental strategies in your bag of race day tricks can prove to be immensely helpful. The only way to find the right recipe for you is to experiment. You can do this by: 1. Recognize and be aware of your thought patterns. Make mental notes of what you’re thinking throughout race day: when you wake up, as you drive/ride to the event, warming up, on the line and throughout the competition. From this, you can start to figure out what areas could use some work. Anxiety and doubt happen to the best athletes in the world. If you struggle with those things, you’re in great company.

2. Assess your patterns. Are they helpful? Things will inevitably go wrong. When they do, are you able to move on? Understand whether the bad situation created a response or did your reaction to that situation create a response?

If the pacer went out too fast, was the side ache you got the result or was it caused by your anxiety because you realized you started fast? Are you staying in the moment and focused on the process of racing? Are you worried about things that aren’t in your control? If so, what can you control?

3. Replace counter productive patterns. Next time you find yourself speaking negatively about what isn’t going well, try to continue the conversation. Instead of stopping at “Wow, it’s so hot. I feel flat,” keep the conversation going. “Wow, it’s so hot. I feel flat. But I’m prepared, and I’ve run in heat before. Focus on form and breathing.”

If you tend to focus on things that are beyond your control, try to focus on the present. Rather than thinking about the finish or about the pacer who went out at 8:00 pace instead of 8:15 pace, stay in the moment. Engage in the race around you. Break the race into segments, and get through one piece at a time. Experiment to figure out what works for you.

4. Habituate that practice. When you find something that works, use it. Often. Well before the event, start thinking about your plan.

What will you do on race day? How will you prepare? What will your mental state be? How do you want to feel during the race?

Hear yourself breath, see the competition around you, smell the familiar smells (the leaves of the fall, the rubber on the track, even the last minute porta-potty stop). Envision the worst case scenario and what you would do in the event that happens. When something inevitably goes wrong, you’ll be more prepared to handle it.

On race day, revisit those thoughts and remind yourself of what your goals are. Use tricks that work best for you.

Part of becoming a better runner is understanding sensation and knowing that your body can almost always be pushed further than you think. As you gain more experience you start to become more skilled at hurting. You get comfortable with feeling terrible and are happier about being in that place. Shifting your mental “chatter” takes time, but with a little awareness and experimentation, who knows? You might turn into that runner who’s smiling while toeing the line.

CLUBS

They (Still) Run for the Fun of It With the help of Mike Reneau and some fast friends, the Twin Cities Track Club brings an old idea (and an old style) back to today’s running scene

BY ALEX KURT

L

exington, Kentucky. As the lead pack of men at the USA Track & Field National Club Cross Country Championships begins to string out in Masterson Station Park, Joe Moore and Mike Reneau look like kids wearing their dad’s jerseys.

The distinctly throwback cotton singlets they are donning this marshy, overcast December afternoon are untucked and low hanging, nearly obscuring their shorts, and they stand out early in the mass of multi-colored uniforms and heads bobbing in near unison over hill and dale at this highly competitive race.

Cut to the women’s race, where Stephanie Price stands out in a brilliant red jersey with blue trim.

Also cotton.

The three runners defiantly bucking wicking material technology have one thing in common: they run for, and have their jerseys emblazoned with the logo of, the resurgent Twin Cities Track Club.

“The cotton singlets looked pretty awesome. I really like the retro look,” says Price, who would place twelfth. “On the other hand, they get really hot in the middle of a race, and they don’t wick your sweat away. And I had to pin in the sides of the armpits. It fit really weird.”

Moore, who finished ninth that

day, had a more blunt assessment.

“It was good, it was a cool day, and it wasn’t raining,” he says.

“Doing the retro stuff is just fun,” says Reneau, who finished thirteenth. “People liked it, because it was different. It’s fun to think of yourself as the type of runner everyone was back then.”

When is “back then,” exactly? It was the last time the Twin Cities Track Club raced as a team. It was also a time when cotton singlets were not terribly unusual. To say Reneau looked like he was wearing his dad’s jersey that day has an element of truth. And nothing to do with how the jersey fit.

“It wasn’t glitzy or polished” In the early 1960s, Pat Lanin and Bob Harris saw a lack of post-collegiate opportunities for runners to train and develop in the Twin Cities.

From the Minnesota Road Runners Club (founded in 1961), they created the competitive Twin Cities Track Club (TCTC) in 1964. The singlets, with their distinct arching-letter logo, followed.

“The impetus for a club was to be able to compete as a team on the regional and national level,” says Lanin. “The nearest active track and road running club at the time was the University of Chicago Track Club. At the time, as I recall, there were only a few dozen active AAU sanctioned competitive clubs in the nation,

JULY/AUGUST 2013

Joe Moore

“Training on my own you can do a lot of dumb things, not having anyone to bounce ideas off of,” Moore says of his recent success. “This seems like the best kind of group, because it’s not a bunch of pseudoprofessional runners who are super edgy.

It’s just a bunch of people you know, and everyone’s still serious about their training.” with the majority either in New England, Middle Atlantic states or Southern California.”

The TCTC grew in membership, adding Ron Daws, Steve Hoag and Jeff Reneau (Mike’s father), among others, and began making a splash in both the Minnesota and national scenes. They swept the top five spots at the 1965 National AAU One Hour Championship and scored top three sweeps at the Minnesota AAU 20K Championship and Minnesota AAU and Open Marathon the same year.

Daws and Reneau finished in the top 10 at the 1966 National AAU Marathon Championship, and Hoag clocked the second fastest 10 mile time in the country in 1967.

In 1969, TCTC won the team title at the Boston Marathon, led by Daws, who finished fourth. The list goes on.

Daws quickly emerged as the de facto leader of the Club “If there were any dues,” says Hoag, “Daws probably didn’t pay them. [He was] highly respected nationwide, and when we went somewhere, it was usually on [Daws’] coattails.”

More than a team affiliation, though, TCTC provided its members a group of peers with which to train and race. “I was lucky enough to come along in 1965 after TCTC had been up and running for a couple of years and enjoy the opportunity it afforded me for some comradely and good post collegiate training and competing opportunities, which in those days were far and few between,” says (Jeff ) Reneau.

“Another benefit of the club

was the ability to work out with runners of pretty equal ability,” says Hoag, who would go on to finish second at the Boston Marathon in 1975. “I look back on the ‘first generation’ of TCTC with a ton of fondness. It was formed out of a need to provide competition and training after college competition. It wasn’t glitzy and polished.”

That might be putting it lightly.

“Road trips were really an adventure, as we would usually take [Daws’] old Rambler,” Hoag continues. “We would invariably arrive at our destination in the wee hours of the evening because of breakdowns, running out of gas, getting lost, etc. One trip to Michigan City was memorable because the Rambler’s radiator leaked profusely, and we had to stop every 20 miles or so to fill it with water.”

Some of the races, meanwhile, would appear to today’s road savants as ramshackle as the club’s transportation. TCTC often took part in “Postal” races, sponsored by the Road Runners Club of America, in which competitors would run a designated distance on the same day at different locations nationwide and results would be mailed to the national office to be compiled. “[Postal] races were conducted on the track, simply because a 10 mile road course very likely might be either long or short, hilly or possibly downhill. A short course would be an easy ticket to a national Postal title,” says Lanin.

“Postal competitions gave local runners of all abilities a chance to see how they measured up to competition around the country. In the

pre-email and social media world, these races really expanded our horizons.”

The Club comes back Despite their prowess and frequent racing, the Twin Cities Track Club did not post any major results after 1969, according to their history online. They wouldn’t again until 2012, when a family connection rekindled the concept.

“I started running after college, but I was around running at a young age,” says Mike Reneau, a slice of pizza and glass of beer sitting in front of him on a rainy Friday afternoon at Edina’s Hello Pizza, around the corner from Gear Running Store. “I grew up hearing stories about Daws and Hoag, and [my dad] would drag me over to Marathon Sports. He had all the old singlets.”

“So this has definitely been something I’ve been thinking about for years,” he continues.

After relocating to Minnesota from Oregon over a year ago, Reneau says the inspiration struck to revive the Club, in part because the Twin Cities has both a thriving running community and a well-organized team circuit. He had soon registered TCTC as an official club with USATF. “But it wasn’t official until I got the printing press,” he says, referring to the wellspring of TCTC logo emblazoned singlets and vintage apparel he still prints and ships from his apartment.

Reviving the club was also a way for Reneau to build a system of support for training that would fit his needs, and the needs of others like him, better than a heavily structured professional or Olympic development program.

One such program is the Michigan based Brooks-Hansons Distance Project, where Reneau ran from 2007 to 2009.

“I loved my experience at Hansons, and it can be exciting for a young runner to move across the country,” he says. “But sometimes the ideal situation for runners coming out of college is to stay in their community, to train with friends and continue on the same trajectory with their profes-

sional life and not be completely uprooted.”

Through chance encounters at races, as well as mutual friends, Reneau became acquainted with, and recruited, Moore and Price.

Moore had moved to Minneapolis near the same time as Reneau, while Price had just completed an accolade saturated career running at the University of Minnesota.

“I think I bought Joe a beer after we raced Grandma’s half [marathon] last year. That was the last time I beat Joe. And he ended up being our first investor,” Reneau says, motioning toward Moore, who is sitting to his left.

“Yeah, all the earnings I won from getting passed by Chris Erichsen in the last half mile of the Twin Cities Marathon,” says Moore (who finished eleventh in 2:19:30 at the marathon in question), “that was my buy-in.”

Reneau maintains it was Moore’s contribution that funded the printing press.

“It took Joe and Stephanie and others to really buy in to provide that extra motivation that it could be something really unique and cool,” Reneau says. “The emergence was to get some of the best runners in the Twin Cities representing at Club Cross, and the three of us who went had good races.”

Good enough, in fact, that Moore and Price both qualified for two U.S. national teams as a result. They donned the stars and stripes at January’s Bupa Great Edinburgh Cross Country race in Scotland and the North America, Central America and Caribbean Athletic Association (NACAC) Cross Country Championships in Jamaica (Moore was on the first place men’s team at both events).

Meanwhile, TCTC has shown it will be a force on the team circuit in its inaugural season. At St. Paul’s Irish Run 8K, March 24, Moore crossed the line first, followed by Reneau in third and new team member Jason Lehmkuhle (formerly of Team USA Minnesota) in fourth.

its title in the race, but in a much closer contest than last year. At Chicago’s Shamrock Shuffle 8K, April 7, the USATF National Club Team 8K Championships, the Run N’ Fun men’s team edged TCTC by one point (they finished seventh and eighth, respectively) while the TCTC women’s team finished fifth.

Moore finished third overall, and Price finished eighth among women in that race. And the TCTC men dominated the team standings at the Medtronic TC 1 Mile in May. “Training on my own you can do a lot of dumb things, not having anyone to bounce ideas off of,” Moore says of his recent success. “This seems like the best kind of group, because it’s not a bunch of pseudo-professional runners who are super edgy. It’s just a bunch of people you know, and everyone’s still serious about their training.”

Making an accessible sport even more accessible For Reneau, the point of the Club is to be open to everyone, of all ages and abilities.

“Ultimately, people are looking for the community more than anything else,” he says. “Part of the idea is to keep it as open as we can. We have people who are running the Chicago Marathon who might be aiming for four hours.”

He compares it to the club mentality that made up much of the running scene in the 1960s and

10

1970s, when Bill Rodgers ran workouts with the Greater Boston Track Club, and Frank Shorter and Jack Bacheler headlined the Florida Track Club. Today, TCTC hosts weekly (sometimes more frequent) open-to-the-public group runs, often from Gear Running Store, where Reneau, Moore and Price all work.

“In running, there are so few resources to go around, and we create these things to validate ourselves,” he says. “You know, we shoot for the Trials or label ourselves ‘elite.’ What’s wrong with just being competitive?”

It doesn’t hurt the group’s appeal that even back-of-the-packers can enjoy the occasional group run with fast people: people they’ve heard of, if they follow the sport.

“I think it excites people who are in the club, wearing the singlet, that they’re part of something big that includes elite athletes,” Reneau says. “Guys who know who Joe is, just from reading about him or seeing race results, get to run with him at a group run.”

At this point, he has been intently leading the conversation at Hello Pizza for nearly half an hour.

His pizza and beer sit mostly untouched. Moore, staring down at an empty plate and a drained glass, cuts in. “You don’t get to go into the outfield at a Twins game and catch a fly ball,” he says before quickly noting that he wasn’t anything like the equivalent of a

JULY/AUGUST 2013

major league baseball player in the sport of running. “But you get what I mean. It’s a different sport.”

Running is a highly accessible sport, according to the description on TCTC’s Facebook page, and one the Club aims to make “even more accessible.” One rainy evening in May, a couple dozen runners sit and stand in Gear Running Store, drenched from a group outing around Lake Harriet, sharing stories and Leinenkugel beers. As a veritable steam of post run odor and rain soaked clothes fills the narrow running shop, it seems TCTC is succeeding.

At the very least, the Club is providing a new outlet for the social and shared suffering elements inherent in runners at all levels.

The community setup can also help runners, even TCTC’s swiftest members, reap benefits from their training.

“It’s great to have a group to run with and people to support you, who understand what you’re going through,” says Price. “But, we’re not all part of the same training group. Some of us are training for different races, we might have different coaches, and we come from different careers, coaches and points in our lives.”

She says the Club environment is more flexible, more relaxed and, as a result, more fun than the collegiate training environment she only recently left.

“Sometimes in college, the environment can turn competitive in a negative way. The same with races,” she says. “With TCTC, it’s never felt like that. No one is trying to one-up each other or compare themselves to each other. It’s a positive group of people who support each other, and that’s enjoyable and beneficial.”

Jenny Scherer, who recently joined the Club after a stint at the heavily structured Brooks-Hansons Project, echoes that. “The very structured environment just ended up not being the right fit for me,” she says. “What I craved was a chance to find better balance in my life… [and] continue to keep running a part of my life and shoot for PRs and success as long as I

can. I like the flexibility being here in the Twin Cities and a part of the TCTC gives me.”

For the love of running Reneau has plans for the Twin Cities Track Club, to be sure. But, he emphasizes that the Club will look more or less the same no matter how it develops.

“The ideal setup would be for the culture of it to be the same, but I’d like to provide a lot more to the people who want to make it their livelihood,” he says.

“We’re trying to figure out how to manage that. We don’t want one sponsor to be too big a part of that, which makes it difficult,” he continues. “It would be great to get a clothing or gear sponsor, but then it’s also great to have people who can do their own thing. Like Joe can keep his sponsors [Karhu and Craft] and his coach.” “[TCTC] is still developing, and funding is pretty meager,” says Price, noting that almost all the Club’s proceeds come from the sale of TCTC apparel online and at Gear running store. “It’s not a bad thing, though. Being financially supported in any way is great, but without it, it makes you remember why you like it.”

“Running in college, before I had a scholarship, it was just about enjoying the sport for me,” she continues. “Money makes things more complicated.”

“It’s just running,” Moore says.

“That’s what we’re doing. If you look through old results you would see guys like [Dick] Beardsley pop up third in some Raspberry Run right after he got second at the Boston Marathon.”

“Those guys just raced and didn’t care,” he continues. “That’s what it’s about.”

Janis Klecker Trials Champion, World Record Holder and mother of six

BY PATRICK O’REGAN Beginnings Janis Klecker, Olympic Trials marathon champion, two time national marathon champion and world record holder at the 50K, didn’t run for a team in high school. So, when she went off to the University of Wisconsin, Madison, for her freshman year in 1978, she had no athletic scholarship and no prospects, save her talent, for a running career.

She did, however, have Mae Horns, the matriarch of running in this part of the country, for her mother. In Janis’ senior year at Edina West High School, she and Mae would often jog around a little lake near their home together. “She was my best friend,” Janis said.

Spurred on by Mae, Janis jogged on the lake shore trails of

12

Madison, Wisconsin. Back home, Mae became close friends with Patricia Wiesner, the track coach at Macalester College and another pioneer of women’s running in this area. Together they watched one of the Avon Series of women’s marathons that year. That did it.

Mae set her sights on running Grandma’s Marathon the following spring in 1979. In the meantime, Patricia visited Janis in Madison and encouraged her to run in one of the Diet Pepsi 10Ks. With minimal training, Janis won her age group in about 41 minutes, in the process qualifying for the regional event in Kansas City, which she also ran. Mae would run Grandma’s, as planned. Janis, given a workout program by Patricia, began to run with a purpose.

JULY/AUGUST 2013

Growth Janis returned to the Twin Cities after her freshman year and ran through the summer with Mae. That fall, she transferred to the University of Minnesota. She talked to Mike Lawless, coach of the women’s track and cross country teams, about running with the cross country team. He was agreeable.

“I’m not a good cross country runner,” Janis said. She has some asthma and an allergy to grass (the asthma would bother her throughout her career, including at the Olympics in Barcelona). But she was finally on a team.

Janis and Mae were determined to run the 1979 staging of the City of Lakes Marathon. In the first mile, Mae told her daughter to go on. On the basis of some running

with the team and a couple 20 mile runs, Janis finished in 2:58, third among women.

Perhaps more important than the placing or time, at that race, Janis met Barney Klecker, her future husband, who won the men’s race. In future years, Barney would develop into one of the best long distance runners in the world. But, for now, Barney crossed paths thereafter several times with Mae, who, according to Barney, encouraged him repeatedly to call her daughter.

“That’s not true,” Janis declares. “My mother wouldn’t do that. He just called in the fall and asked me to run with him. Then after the run, we’d go out and do something. That’s how it happened.” The issue is unresolved.

Up at five o’clock for a long run, then classes, then a hard workout, then study and do it again day after day. She was running 70 to 90 miles a week. Road races, including marathons (two Bostons), became a fixture of her life. She was taking a place among the best distance runners in the world.

Barney would become Janis’ coach, as well as husband.

The cross country team included some outstanding runners: Tammy McGrane, Cindy Seikkual and Mary Yetzer, for instance. But the star of the team was Rocky Racette. Tragically, as Janis recalled, Rocky would die in a car accident during Janis’ senior cross country season.

Janis was developing into a first rate distance runner. It seemed to be in the pedigree. There was Mae, of course, but her father, Norman, a pathologist, was a terrific all-around athlete: black belt in Karate, professional bodybuilder and then runner, who would run many marathons.

Her older brother and sister were athletic: the younger twin boys, Jim and John, became outstanding runners. Later on, in one Grandma’s race, Jim sped by Janis, saying, “Loser does the dishes,” and finished in front of her by two minutes.

In addition to the University cross country meets, Janis frequently ran road races. She improved steadily. Interestingly, though, Janis never ran on the University’s track team. “I wasn’t ready for that,” she said. “I didn’t yet have the confidence.” What about Coach Mike? “We never had that conversation,” she said. It’s hard to see why not. She ran a 2:48 marathon and then 2:40. “It was very motivating to keep getting better,” she said.

In 1980, Janis won the City of Lakes Marathon. In 1981, she finished second to the outstanding runner Lorraine Moller at

Grandma’s Marathon. At the finish, as Janis recalled, Lorraine said to her, “You’ve gotten as fast as you’re going to get on the training you’re doing.” She and Barney took a hard look at the training program. They added mile repeats and hill repeats, often run on a treadmill.

A week after that race, Janice and Barney were married. Thereafter, they often traveled to races together, usually both competing.

They would become one of the foremost running couples in the country.

The Olympic Trials and Other Races After graduating from the University of Minnesota in 1982 with a degree in Life Sciences Education, Janis headed straight for the dental school at the University of Minnesota. At this point, in her efforts to extend herself to the limits of her talent, Janis’ story becomes one of those that can only be called, “How did she do it?”

Up at five o’clock for a long run, then classes, then a hard workout, then study and do it again day after day. She was running 70 to 90 miles a week. Road races, including marathons (two Bostons), became a fixture of her life. She was taking a place among the best distance runners in the world. “I had no idea what God had in store for me with my running at that time,” she said.

All along, of course, Janis would run, from time to time, with Mae. In another development, Patricia Wiesner, after 35 years as a coach and inspiration for many

women runners, including Janis, passed away of breast cancer at 57 in 1983.

In 1984, the Los Angeles Olympics would feature, for the first time, the women’s marathon.

This became a goal. Janis ran the San Francisco Marathon in June 1983 and won. It was her first major triumph and met the standard for the Trials.

Later that year, as a training effort, she ran a 50K race in Florida.

Running on a loop course, getting the mile times each time she came around, she ran a very steady pace, coming in at 3:13:51, a new world record. The first mile and the thirtieth mile were roughly the same time. She was ready for the Trials.

But the marathon is the marathon. She ran a disappointing time in the Trials in Olympia, Washington, well off the Olympic team. But she did not let up on her running.

In 1985, Janis was second in the California International Marathon, a race that she would win twice (1988, 1990), setting a course record the second time (2:30:42).

In 1987, right after graduating from dental school, came one of the major triumphs of her running career. She won Grandma’s Marathon in 2:36:12, in the process becoming the women’s national marathon champion.

All these years, Barney, of course, was training ferociously and taking his place with the best long distance runners in the world.

Following up his victory in the City of Lakes Marathon, he would win the Twin City Marathon, establish world records in the 50K on a track, 50 mile road race and win the Edmund Fitzgerald 100K twice.

He would become an instructor at Normandale Community College in Hospitality Management and start his own business in lawn care and snow removal. But that’s a separate article. The only point one might note here is if Barney and Janis could have accomplished all they did in running alone, it certainly would not have been as much fun.

Not surprisingly, both being

fiercely competitive, Janis and Barney would not do their long runs together. “I value my marriage way too much,” Janis said. He could pace her in repeat workouts on the track, however. Or, they would go to the track and run separate workouts.

Janis qualified for the 1988 Trials of the Seoul Olympics, but failed to get to the starting line because of an injury. Two months before the Trials, she ran the St. Patrick’s Day race in St. Paul. A fierce dual developed between Janis and Leslie Seymour. Janis was second, five seconds back of Leslie in 25:50. On a run the next day, Janis discovered that she had a stress fracture in her lower back.

She could not have run the Trials competitively.

A series of races Janis ran in 1990 shows the competitive pace she sometimes set in her life. She ran the New Bedford Half Marathon in a PR of 1:10:41. That year she also set a PR in the 10K in 31:44. Disappointed in her time of 2:40 at Grandma’s on a hot day, she went out in 1:10. A week and a day later she ran the San Francisco Marathon and won it in 2:38. The material rewards usually extended to expenses and clothing, but for that win, she got a Mercedes.

In 1991, she won the Twin Cities Marathon, setting a PR of 2:30:31.

She was ready for the Trials of the Barcelona Games.

The Games of Barcelona The Trials were moved back to January. They were held in Houston, Texas, which, of course, can be steamy, but the weather was good, and Janis was healthy. She won the race, the national marathon championship, setting a PR of 2:30:12. Cathy O’Brien was second. Francie Larrieu- Smith, at age 39, was third.

“I knew I had to run the race of my life,” Janis said of the Olympic marathon, but she thought she had a shot at a medal. The race was run at 6:30 p.m., and the heat and humidity were oppressive. The first half of the course along the sea was tolerable, but when they got in among the tall buildings of the city, Janis began to have

JULY/AUGUST 2013

13

breathing problems. Her asthma kicked in in the smog. “I was not going to drop out of the race,” she said. Nine of the 47 starters did.

She was twenty-first in 2:47. “I was okay with it,” she said. “I was disappointed, but…you know…”

Running and a Family After running the Olympics in August, Janis ran and won the Twin Cities Marathon in October in 2:36:50. Then, in November, she and Mae, her coach for the trip, traveled on invitation to Japan, where they were treated royally, and Janis ran the Tokyo Marathon.

She was the first American finisher, running 2:34.

“When I came home from Japan,” Janis said, “I decided I was done. We wanted to have kids… I got pregnant the next month…

God knew it was time.”

The twins John and Mary were born the following July, after eight weeks of bed rest. But Janis got back in shape and again competed at the highest levels of distance running.

In May of 1995, they had Sarah.

Janis determined to qualify for the Trials of the Atlanta Games of 1996. She had had six weeks of bed rest before Sarah was born, so she had to come a long way back to qualify for the Trials. She made it, qualifying at the Columbus Marathon in the fall, and running in the Trials in February. But she didn’t make the team. “I had three kids,” she said.

Janis’ last marathon was the Twin Cities Marathon in 1999. She and Bonnie Sons, training together, determined to run a qualifying time at that marathon for the Trials for the Sydney Games of 2000 in February.

As Janis recalled, “At 22 miles, I was running alongside a guy who knew who I was and what I was trying to do. He had a watch. ‘You’re cutting it kinda close, aren’t you?’ he said. Coming to the finish area, I could see the clock and knew if I pressed hard I could just make it.”

She did. By 11 seconds (2:49:49).

But she didn’t make it to the Trials.

“I got pregnant,” she said. That was with James, the youngest, and

14

the only non-runner. Bonnie ran in the Trials.

Janis had run 55 marathons, including races in Tokyo, Shanghai, Marrakech (Morocco) and Osaka, finishing all but five or six. She may have run more sub 2:40 marathons than any other woman in the world.

Moving On “At that point,” Janis said, “I decided that I would be a fit mom.”

Apparently fitness for her meant running up a mountain. Janis determined to run the half marathon up Pikes Peak in Colorado in 2003.

Again, she was following in the footsteps of Mae, who had run that race. It had special significance.

Early in 2001, Mae, this runner of over 40 marathons, came down with ALS, the paralyzing neurological disorder. By May of that year she was in a wheelchair. Janis trained hard for the race. As she ran up the steep ascent, Mae, strapped in the wheelchair to hold her body erect, waited for her daughter at the top.

“It was hard,” Janis recalled. “I traveled that road with her ‘til the day she died.”

Mae passed away in 2005. “I told her that I would run the Pikes Peak race again after she died,” Janis said. She ran it again, no doubt, thinking of Mae, in 2006.

Janis still runs. Once a week, she and Bonnie get together for a run. She varies her workouts more now, often, instead of running, spinning on a bike, swimming laps or aqua jogging. She does yoga most every day. “I put so much of my heart and soul into my children right now,” she said. She works as a dentist in Minnetonka.

“I’ll always be a runner at heart,” Janis said. “But I needed to learn that there are other ways of staying fit. It took a long time to come to that point and a long time to let go of my competition. Now I’m content. I’ve learned, after having kids, to be satisfied with what I could do and not frustrated by what I couldn’t do… I’m thankful to stay fit. That is my goal… I have no desire to race… We have a lot of joy in watching the children run.”

JULY/AUGUST 2013

“When I came home from Japan,” Janis said, “I decided I was done. We wanted to have kids… I got pregnant the next month…

God knew it was time.” The twins John and Mary were born the following July, after eight weeks of bed rest. But Janis got back in shape and again competed at the highest levels of distance running.

Could you have been happy without running? “Yes. But it has made my life so rich and I have learned so much through it…

When I jogged with my mother around the little lake or on the lake shore trails in Madison, I had no idea what God had in store for me with my running. From meeting my husband to competing with my Mom as a mother-daughter team to traveling all over the world…

The richness and the joy running has given me… It’s been an emotional and a spiritual journey.”

Training Under the direction of Barney, Janis developed a very intensive training routine. She’d run 70 to 90 miles a week with one running workout a day. She did cross training on the second daily workout: a mile swim, a ride on the stationary bike or an aqua jog in the pool, with weights and stretching thrown in regularly.

A typical day would have a long morning run and a 45 minute aqua jog session in the afternoon or a morning treadmill run of repeat half miles on an incline with a 45 minute bike ride in the afternoon.

“Trying to run twice a day,” she said, “I ran the risk of getting hurt.”

Of course, there were track workouts: repeat 200s and 400s. A favorite workout was six to eight 800s in 2:28 to 2:32 with a quarter mile jog between each. Occasionally, she’d run the following treadmill workout: two miles of warm up, following by miles in 5:20 and 5:50 repeated up to eight times and two miles of cool down.

“When I could do the repeats eight

times,” she said, “I knew I was ready to run.”

Sons and Daughters John – Runs track and cross country for Augustana College in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Having made the State Championship in the two mile and cross country, he runs distances from 800 meters to 5,000 meters.

Mary – Runs track and cross country for Augsburg College. Having made the State in the mile and 4 x 800 relay, she specializes in the 800 meters and mile (or 1,500 meters).

Sarah – Captain of the track and cross country teams for Hopkins High School. Runs the mile and two mile.

Joe – Runs track and cross country for Hopkins High School.

Third in the State Cross Country meet last fall as a sophomore. PR in 3,000 meters of 8:42. PR in the two mile of 9:17.

Bit (Elizabeth) – Runs track and cross country for Hopkins West Junior High. Runs the mile and two mile.

James – Plays baseball, football and basketball in grade school. Has no interest in cross country.

The Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon

Reality Show A look at the runners’ progress to date

BY CANDY PATRIN

Hooray for the glorious Minnesota summer running season.

The three individuals who have signed on to the TCM Reality Show by agreeing to share their training and other race experiences leading up to the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon (TCM), October 6, 2013, are staying on target with their training for the most part. What have Tom Huberty, Kevin Rassier and Kate Williamson been doing since you ďŹ rst learned about their plans in the RunMinnesota May/June issue?

Tom Huberty

Huberty may also start another streak of doing a minimum of two miles per day.

He describes his streak experiences as being both “productive and maddening.”

AGE: 61 | MINNEAPOLIS

Since the previous update from Huberty, a TCM Charter Club member, he has completed marathons in St. Louis, Missouri, (hot weather, hilly course), April 7 and Eugene, Oregon (cool weather, flat course), April 27. His chip times were about one minute per mile slower at St. Louis with a 6:12:34 versus the 5:47:55 in Eugene, which he described as a “workman-like performance.”

Huberty’s weight is down a bit, and he has participated in several other races, one of which was the Minneapolis Half Marathon, June 2, where he finished with a 2:37:49, seven minutes faster than his projected time.

Throughout the coming months, Huberty plans to get in some shorter events, such as the North Memorial Whiz Bang Days race.

Huberty may also start another streak of doing a minimum of two miles per day. He describes his streak experiences as being both “productive and maddening.” Due to his travel schedule, Huberty incorporates some flexibility into his streak rules.

“Timed, energetic walks across airport concourses qualify,” says Huberty. “I usually pack an extra t-shirt if I know I have an hour between flights through Atlanta and figure 13 minutes per mile dragging a roll-around.”

His longest streak lasted two years, four months and 13 days, ending when Huberty sustained a broken shoulder as the result of a fall. Actually, Huberty continued the streak for a week after the fall by walking every day up until his surgery that required a plate and 10 screws to make the repair.

It has been said that with age comes wisdom. Huberty put a stop to a yearlong streak last December. He was driving on I-55 in Illinois when an ice storm hit and all vehicles were directed off the road. Huberty found a hotel, albeit one without any exercise facility. “I chose to end the streak rather than risking a broken bone by falling on the ice,” says Huberty.

During the next several weeks, Huberty will work to maintain “vision and focus” as well as getting in a long run before the Air Force Marathon in September. In addition, he plans to cover the last eight miles of the TCM course a couple of times every month to rehearse the final push on Summit Avenue.

Kevin Rassier

26.2 milers since April. He only needs one marathon to stay on his goal and is looking at a couple of options for marathon number 99.

His last two marathons have been especially fun for Rassier for different reasons. At the Lake Wobegon Trail Marathon in Central Minnesota, May 11, Rassier’s dad was at the finish line. It was the first time that the senior Rassier has watched his son complete a marathon.

Two weeks later at the Med City Marathon in Rochester, Minnesota, Rassier had planned to run easy and stay with the 3:25 pacer. He felt good in the early miles and decided to push the pace, ending with a 3:18:35, his fastest finish in the last six marathons.

Rassier got some unexpected news the end of May when his 25-year-old son, Paul, signed up to run his first marathon at TCM this year. According to Rassier, Paul ran cross country in high school and has continued to run a bit since then.

After a strong showing at the Maple Grove Half Marathon, May 11, Paul made the decision to sign up for TCM. “He [Paul] sent me a text with a picture of his TCM registration verification after he registered,” says Rassier. “It was a complete surprise that he would be doing it this year.”

Rassier also plans to join the MDRA fall marathon training class to train with other runners at a variety of skill levels. He says group runs always keeps him challenged and also provide encouragement.

Once a week, Rassier likes to do speed work, such as hill repeats, tempo runs and short intervals. “These shorter speed work sessions help to improve running economy and can help make your goal marathon pace seem more relaxed,” says Rassier.

Over the summer, Rassier is looking forward to getting in some long training runs with Paul who lives in St. Paul. “I am not doing any teaching this summer, so I really shouldn’t have excuses for not getting in good mileage,” says Rassier.

Kate Williamson

Reality Show

AGE: 36 | MINNEAPOLIS

June 1 marked the date when Williamson “officially” began her TCM training program. Prior to that date, she felt the impact of the cool spring/summer running season and is hopeful that summer will bring nicer weather. So far, Williamson is not overly concerned about striking a balance between training and making her wedding plans.

Williamson does not have to look too far to find encouragement to keep her training on track. “My fiancée is also very active, and we are both trying to find the balance of getting back into a routine of working out and staying with our training programs.”

Her fiancée, Graeme Webster, is a triathlete. While the couple have different training goals and run at different paces, they are both committed to a healthy and active lifestyle.

Another source of support is Baylor, Williamson’s eight-year-old female beagle/basset mix she rescued five years ago. Baylor is always happy to go on a run, although she does control the pace somewhat with frequent stops along the way. By taking Baylor out for a short run and then getting in a mid distance effort around the Lakes without her dog, Williamson can add some interest to her training and break it up a bit.

To stay consistent with her training, Williamson plans to get in a few half marathons over the summer. She likes the feeling of always having an upcoming race on the schedule. It helps with training and keeps her engaged even if she is not focused on a specific race time.

Williamson is firm about her goal for TCM. “My goal is still to run and finish the marathon with a smile on my face,” says Williamson. “I gave up running with a GPS, because I found that it sucked the joy out of running.” Instead of running by pace, Williamson pays attention to how her body feels.

The result has been a shift to a more positive attitude, especially during long runs. Williamson has been known to stop to pet a cute puppy when she is on a run or pause to take in a beautiful lake view. “Life is too short not to stop and enjoy it,” says Williamson.

GRANDMA’SMARATHON2013

GRANDMA’S RECAP An Event for Everybody Grandma’s Marathon 2013, the thirty-seventh edition, featured another national championship, fast times in the marathon and a fine send-off for founder and Executive Director Scott Keenan.

When Scott Keenan helped found Grandma’s Marathon in the late 70s, his vision for the race was simple, yet uncommon at the time.

“From day one, we wanted it to be more than just a running event,” he says. “We wanted it to be a festival, a party atmosphere. We always wanted the race to be on Saturday, so people didn’t have to rush back home or get to work. Most races were, and still are, on Sundays.”

Keenan may have overseen his last Grandma’s Marathon, as he is stepping down as race director this year after thirty-seven runnings of the storied North Shore event, but little about it has changed.

Yes, the event itself is bigger. The Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon was added to the event in 1991 and the William A. Irvin 5K was added in 1994; the Minnesota Mile, Whipper Snapper Races for Kids and a slew of associated races are run under the auspices of the Grandma’s organization; and the late June races have since hosted seven national championships for women and two for men.

But as the races have grown, that quintessential feature of Grandma’s espoused by Keenan, that it’s more than a race, has stayed constant.

“Grandma’s is my favorite race, and it really is about the event, the weekend,” says Jenna Boren, who finished eighth woman and was the first American woman in the marathon this year in 2:40:38. “Even the volunteers come back year after year. Duluth is beautiful, and finishing in Canal Park is awesome.”

Grandma’s likewise played host to the men’s and women’s half marathon championships last year, as well as hosting the women’s half marathon championships in 2003 and 2004. It hosted the women’s marathon championships in 1987, 1990 and 1994.

“From the beginning, part of our mission was to bring the best runners in the country here,” Keenan says. “It’s important to have a race for the citizen runners, but also to have an elite aspect to it.”

Drawn in part by a well-regarded race organization, and in part by a total of $82,000 in prize money plus bonuses, the largest purse in the history of the U.S. Half Marathon Championships, the elite field did not disappoint.

In the men’s race, Mo Trafeh pulled away from Olympian and

BY ALEX KURT fellow Californian Meb Keflezighi to win his eighth national title (his second at the half marathon) in a course record 1:01:16. In the women’s race, Boulder, Colorado’s Adrianna Nelson won in 1:11:18, seven seconds ahead of Olympian Desiree Davila.

Seven seconds behind Davila was Kelly Brinkman. The Bloomington resident set a seven minute PR to finish third, the first Minnesotan across the line.

“Coach Ron [Byland] and I talked about running a 1:13 if I was feeling good, but instead of focusing on time, we talked about staying competitive,” Brinkman says of her race strategy. “From the start, I wanted to be in a position to be competitive with the leaders.

I didn’t exactly know what that meant. Would I be fifth or fifteenth? But, I always run better when I feel like there’s more on the line and when I’m with the leaders of a race.”

“So from the gun, I went with the leaders, besides Adrianna, and

then just focused on running strong from start to finish,” she continues. “The 1:11 finish time was a bit of a surprise, but based on [some previous races], it wasn’t totally out of nowhere.”

Michelle Frey, of Minneapolis, followed up her third place finish at this race last year with another top 10 effort, finishing ninth in 1:12:33. St. Louis Park’s Katie McGregor and Team USA Minnesota runner Ladia Albertson-Junkans, of Minneapolis, finished eleventh and fourteenth, respectively.

Joe Moore, of Minneapolis, was the top Minnesotan in the men’s race, finishing twentieth overall in 1:04:05.

“I’m a little confused at my race,” Moore says. “I was really uncomfortable the whole way, and was dropped in the last two miles by a pack that went on to run 1:03:00 to 1:03:30. I did run a PR, but I felt like if I had competed better, I could have been in the mix with that pack and placed better.”

Moore also noted that the significant tailwind that aided many in the full marathon did not pick up until after the half had finished.

One of the beneficiaries of that tailwind was his Twin Cities Track Club teammate, Mike Reneau, whose 2:13:53 was good for a marathon PR, ninth overall and first American.

Boren, for whom the race came in the middle of a move from Minneapolis to California, says while the conditions were good, she didn’t seem to be affected by them.

“I have run within 10 seconds the last three years with very different conditions,” she says. “I didn’t feel great the first 16 miles,

but then things started coming around, and I was able to pick up the pace. Unfortunately, my lower legs were cramping so bad the last couple of miles that I could only push so hard. I thought I could hit sub 2:40, but it didn’t happen. I was able to pass about four women in the last six miles, so I will take it.”

At the front of the marathon, Bazu Worku won overall in 2:11:14, narrowly missing Dick Beardsley’s course record of 2:09:37. Sarah Kiptoo won the women’s marathon title in a course record 2:26:31.

Showcasing Duluth Grandma’s Marathon Public Relations Director Bob Gustafson says the quality, and quantity, of the elite field is a reflection of the race’s stellar organization and treatment of elite athletes. “I think they know we can put on a good show and a good race, and the feedback we received last year from the athletes was overwhelmingly positive,” he says.

“By and large the comment that stood out the most was about the hospitality that they received from our volunteers and everyone associated with the race. Everything from the details leading up to the race and the information they received, transportation from the airport and accommodations with the hotels, to the tech meeting and the awards ceremony and the reception. Our priority was putting the athletes first and putting on a fantastic show for them.”

“We wanted to showcase Duluth and what we have to offer,” Keenan says. “We believe we have one of the best race courses in the country.”

“We believe they’ll come back,” he continues, referencing that the U.S. Half Marathon Championships will be held in Houston, Texas, and Columbus, Ohio, from 2014 to 2017.

“Honestly, there’s no way the next four years will be as competitive as the two years in Duluth,” Moore says. “The other races won’t spend the money and effort that Grandma’s did to get elite runners to the race and then pay them with money. I’d love to be proven wrong next year, but Grandma’s is by and far the best as far as I know.”

Brinkman, who also praised the race organization, offered another take. “I think runners like Grandma’s because it’s a fast course,” she says. “For the most part, I believe the course runs ‘downhill’ into Duluth. Some people don’t like the straight, pointto-point route, but for the half marathon, I don’t mind it. Fewer turns means faster times.”

And, “Running on the shoreline provides awesome scenery,” she says.

“It’s bittersweet, all of the work that went into hosting a national championship, that it went so well, but now it’s over,” says Gustafson.

“But it’s been hugely rewarding.

It’s a huge amount of work, but it comes back to us tenfold.”

The Next Chapter Whatever the future holds for Grandma’s Marathon, it will be undertaken without Keenan, who says he simply wanted to move onto the next chapter of his life.

“I’ve been thinking about it for a couple of years,” he says. “I have no idea what’s next, but for now,

I’m looking forward to relaxing with my family and my grandchildren.”

There is a consensus among both athletes and race organizers that his will be big shoes to fill. His successor has yet to be named.

“I am a bit sad Scott won’t be running the show,” says Boren, referencing her plans to run Grandma’s again in the future.

“But, [I’m] grateful to have been part of his legacy.”

Keenan has offered assurances that he won’t be completely absent from the process, though. “I will certainly be open in giving my opinion about what direction things need to go,” he says. “But part of leaving means taking a leap of faith with how they’ll do it.”

Keenan says each of the 37 races he’s directed have been special. “Sometimes you remember it because it goes really well, and sometimes, like in 1986, you have big challenges with the weather,” he says, referencing the year high winds blew over tents at the finish area. “They all have their special touches.”

He recalls, in 1991, when his plan to add a half marathon was met with some criticism. “There were naysayers to that,” he says.

“They’d say, ‘You can’t have a half, it’ll take away from the full.’ Stuff like that. There weren’t too many races where they’d run a marathon and a half at that point.”

It would not, of course, stop him from putting on what he felt was the best event possible.

“We felt it was important to get runners into the right race,” he says. “Back then it was important for us to say, ‘Hey, let’s get a race for everybody.’”

others I know have run the 5K and 10 mile. I always wanted to do a women-only event. The support and camaraderie at women-only races seems to be on a higher level than other races.

“Last year was the first year for us at Women Run the Cities. It was a great time and a great course. I’m not fast, but I am out there doing something, and that is what counts to me.

I have always loved sports and played many growing up. I started running on a dare/challenge from a co-worker, who is a life-long runner.

In the team division, the Wells Fargo Twin Cities Running Club will have women running in the 5K and 10 mile. “One of the great things about the Wells Fargo TCRC is that club leaders encourage team members to bring up events they are passionate about and add them to the list of ‘club-led’ events,” said Dawn Prodger, who is a project manager at Wells Fargo. “Being that this is one of my favorite races in the Twin Cities, I volunteered to be the team leader for this event. I am really happy that we added it to the roster.

“I am very excited to be running the 10 mile this year. My initiation to the racing world was in 2011 at the Women Run the Cities 5K. You could say WRTC was the race that ‘hooked’ me into the racing world.

“My favorite memory from the 2011 race was the Lady Basketball Gophers near the finish line giving high fives and cheering the runners on. What a motivator. And then as you come to the last mile, there are family, friends and other race participants lining the course with cow bells and horns, yelling and cheering everyone on.”

For more information about Women Run the Cities, which is expected to reach its race limit of 3,000 in September prior to the event, go to www.womenrunthecities.com.

Treasurer’s Report: Treasurer Josh Jacobson reported on the financial state of MDRA. Currently the balance of the bank account stands at $8,851.83. The main concern is the lack of National Ad revenue that the magazine is generating as compared to previous years. Heidi stated that this was a typical post Olympic year cycle but something to be aware of and budget for accordingly. Heidi has sold more local race ads than in the past to help bridge the gap. Other departments looked strong when comparing with the year over year numbers.

JULY/AUGUST 2013

RunMinnesota: The May issue is in process and will be out before the end of May. The issue got delayed a bit with the tragic events of Boston and adding a few articles to address that.

COMMITTEE REPORTS Advocacy: Nathan Campeau the committee chair for the past few years asked if others on the board were interested in taking over the chair of this committee. A few were considering the offer.

Promotions: : Heidi Miler presented a cost estimate for establishing an online MDRA store. The board took a look at the quality of apparel and approved the plan to open an online store with limited gear items focusing on the retro look.

New RunMDRA promotion: Any member who runs all MDRA races will be awarded a spectacularly cool tech shirt. Details to follow. This item was shelved until 2014 as the one week lead time to the first race was just not enough to get it off the ground. Kate Bomsta offered to take this project on for 2014.

Programs: Kevin Ross gave a report on the Fall Marathon class and also broached the topic of raising the fees of the class and wondered when they were last raised.

They fee has been locked in at $100 for MDRA members for at least the past five years. Some research was suggested to find out what other local programs are charging and to convene a programs committee meeting to review fee structures and discuss if an increase was due for the 2014 Marathon Training Programs.

Race: The MDRA Race Committee met before the board meeting. The race committee approved budgets for the MDRA 15K/ TCRC 5K and Victory races with Ed Whetham as race director. The committee also approved the 2013 Jeff Winter City of Lakes 25K with Heidi Miler as race director. It was reported that this was Lowell Schow’s last year of race directing the MDRA Mom’s day 5K. Moms Day 5K (May 11) Next up in the MDRA race calendar is the Mississippi 10 Mile. With its new location this year, the Mississippi 10 Mile will start and finish near the picnic shelter at Crosby Regional Park (2595 Crosby Farm Road, St Paul).

Race equipment: The MDRA took in $628.75 in rental income for 13 events of which 6 were MDRA races (no charge for equipment).

Grand Prix: Numbers are great this year, part of the increase is adding the Grand Prix registration to the membership online registration check out.

Old Business: Table the discussion on MDRA branding and the state of the current logo until Noelle Frost could attend the meeting. To be continued at the June Board meeting discussion regarding formalizing the primary components of MDRA’s logo, i.e. shape, color, font; and what steps we’d like to take in 2013 to exemplify our mission.
