Dear RunMinnesota Readers,Why do you run? Do you run for the endorphin rush? Doyou run for the social aspects? Like me, most of you are runningfor all of these reasons and more. This summer, many of youhave likely been running, training, and now tapering to achievea specific goal at the Twin Cities Marathon. A lot of you havebeen doing that training with the MDRA Fall Training Class.

This year’s Fall Marathon Training Program has been an-other successful one, with a record number of well over 100runners. The class includes runners of all abilities and experi-ence levels. We have runners training for their first race andrunners working on the fiftieth. The coaches Gloria Jansen,Sheila Becker and Denny Jordan, and a multitude of team lead-ers, have been fantastic and helped to create a wonderful train-ing experience.

In my opinion, the best part of training with a group is theconnection 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 vic-ariously experience the anticipation and excitement that firsttime marathoners feel when I train with them.

I may not be running blazing speeds out there and qualify-ing for the Olympic Trials, but I can run, for short distances,with people who have achieved and will achieve that kind ofrunning success. And, of course, running with people is usuallymore enjoyable than listening to an iPod.

If you’re looking for a training group to help you towardsyour next race or to just give you motivation to get out the doorand run, thankfully we have a plethora of running groups inMinnesota to choose from. You can find links to many of thesegroups at www.runmdra.org.

If you’d like to join an MDRA group, we’d love to have youalong. After TCM, we’ll kick off the Polar Bear training runs thatoccur every Saturday morning until late February. We also havea group called Track, Trails and Tundra that meets every Thurs-day at 6:30 p.m. Both of these groups are free and open to any-one, MDRA member or not. Please consider joining us for a run.Details can be found at www.runmdra.org under the “Pro-grams” link.

I am grateful to all of my fellow runners who have run withme, encouraged me and made running more fun. I know ithelps me during my training and racing to know that I have agroup of fellow runners going through the same struggles andenjoying the highs & lows that occur over the course of anymarathon. I’ll be excited to see so many of you post marathonand hear your stories and experiences of the day.

“It’s been a long timesince I ran my firstmarathon, but I can vicariously experiencethe anticipation and excitement that firsttime marathoners feelwhen I train with them.”

Nathan Campeau began running in1997 as a way to explore his new surround-ings in Washington, D.C. He fell in love withrunning and ran the first of his 20marathons in 2000. In 2003, Nathan dis-covered the beauty of the Minneapolis trailsystem while running the Twin CitiesMarathon. A few months later, he moved toMinnesota and immediately joined MDRA.During his near decade with MDRA, Nathanhas coached several MDRA marathon train-ing programs and has served on the MDRAboard for over two years.


Dear RunMinnesota,I really enjoyed Candy Patrin’s piece, “When Ribbons Told the Story,” inthe July/August issue of RunMinnesota. I have been running since I was 13, sonearly 30 years, and I remember and miss the runs during my early runningthat were very low key by today’s standards.

Your article was timely for me, since I recently ran the TCRC 5K, part of theMDRA 15K. I felt that that run took me back to the runs I have missed, since itdidn’t have a fancy medal for each finisher, and actually had a cotton shirt forparticipants (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 theruns of yesterday, which also had a community feel and not today’s largerruns where everyone is more interested in showing off their new running gear.Thanks again for a great read!

Running After Prefontaine: A MemoirBy Scott F. Parker

This memoir is a series of essays thatdelve into the mind of a runner. Mr.Parker’s ruminations were filled withthoughts and reflections of running andthe legendary Prefontaine. The nature ofhis writing included true and authenticdetails about running. His descriptionsare vivid. Only a runner with a goodmemory and a keen ability to writecould capture the essence of running inthis way.

While I believed everything he said about his experiences asa runner, I also know that I personally don’t remember that muchabout any given run. My basic running amnesia is likely whatkeeps me going back for more. Since I so conveniently forget thegeneral discomfort of a hard run, I also forget about the ruffedgrouse that chased me on the Itasca trails or the eagle that flewover my head.

I don’t necessarily remember seeing my first lady slipper on arun or the multiple times I tripped on a rock or a root on thetrails. It all blends into that very natural activity of running andsweating out on the roads and trails. Some say we are born torun. Maybe we run and become born again in some way.

When asked why I run marathons, I have responded that in allthe discomfort and difficulty, something about the experience istranscendent. Something is inherently good about running andsomething in the act of running feels good. This is all I know. It isenough to keep me going back out there to run year after year.

I recommend this book, because Parker writes well. I am not apersonal fan of collections of essays, because I have a short at-tention span. But, the arc of a story or narrative holds my focus abit longer. I now think I know what “qua” means, but I am notsure. Prefontaine and Oregon will resonate more with people thathave come from there. This book is a solid piece. I look forward toseeing what else Scott Parker writes in the future.

Expressions of AgingBy John Keston with Richard A. Lovett

When I think about aging or the elderly Ithink of things ending or things lost. Thisis what I thought about as I started thisbook. However, once I read the first chap-ter, I couldn’t resist pushing through tothe end. Two parallel stories were woventhrough the entire book.

One tells a story of a young man grow-ing up during World War II and beyond.The other tells of a series of runningachievements that include setting a worldrecord at the Twin Cities Marathon for hisage (71 at that time).

Mr. Keston is a gifted runner and singer. His tenor voice and act-ing talent gained him as much notoriety as his running achieve-ments. At the Grandma’s Marathon Expo, I met John Keston. I wishedI would have read the book before meeting him. He is approaching90, and I am sure he will continue to run and race as long as he isable.

This book was a major surprise for me. It was a joy to read. Thewalk through history from his perspective was amazing. John’s storyis one that needed to be shared. His experiences with Bemidji,Grandma’s Marathon and Twin Cities Marathon should resonate formany Minnesotans.

John traveled the globe and is exceptionally gifted and blessed. Irecommend this book. The content and life experiences are an inspi-ration. He has helped me see that my running years are far from over.Read this book. You won’t regret it.

The new inductees:

Mike Setter (age 56):

How did you get started running?I got started running in Michiganafter watching Erich Segal on tele-vision give an over-the-top exampleof what Frank Shorter might eat thenight before his 1976 OlympicMarathon. I thought, that skinnyguy can eat all that? Running mightbe for me (25 pounds heavier at thetime). But first, I better walk. So,the day of the marathon, I ate a gar-gantuan breakfast and then mostlywalked the marathon distance (notRick Recker certified). My legsstarting hurting so terribly that Ihad to jog part of the way to try torelieve some of the pain.

What is a favorite memory ofrunning or racing?I’m not going to mention Minnesotamemories, because I wouldn’t knowwhere to begin, and there would beno end. I have three pre-Minnesota:(1) my first race in the spring of1977. 1:08:13 15K somewhere insouthwestern Michigan, organizedby Hal Higdon. Frank Shorter was

there. I was ahead of him for thefirst 50 yards as there was confu-sion about the age graded start,and he had to stop signing auto-graphs and start tying hisshoelaces. After the race, I saw himrunning some more. Mind boggling,(2) my first marathon in 2:55:01 inIdaho Falls, Idaho, in 1981 and (3)my second marathon in 2:37:09 inCoeur d’Alene, Idaho, in 1990.

What percentage of your runninghas been in Minnesota?About 60 percent: 60,000 miles inMinnesota since October 1993.Much of the rest was in Idaho. Idid a good chunk in Texas andBavaria, Germany, when I did afour year enlistment in the AirForce in the 80s. The first twoyears, I also ran in Indiana, NorthDakota and Michigan.

What is your total mileage as ofJune 30, 2012? 102,000 miles.

Any future goals related to running?Just to keep doing it. And to have myashes spread around Lake Calhounwhen I reach the last finish line, soGoetzke can keep trampling me.

Steve Kohorst (age 61):

How did you get started running?I started while in the Army in 1972.Saw the benefit of jogging/run-ning long distances in basic train-ing. Continued with that thoughtwhen I got out of the service in1974. Started keeping track inMarch of 1976.

What is a favorite memory ofrunning or racing?My favorite memory was probablyqualifying to run Boston back in1981, when the qualifier was under2:50.

What were your highest and low-est mileage years?Highest mileage year was back inthe 80s and was 4,000 plus. Low-est was last year at 2,289 becauseof injuries.

What is your total mileage as ofJune 30, 2012? My recorded mileage is 116,200miles.

Any future goals related to running?I would just like to continue run-ning and racing as long as possi-ble. I think I can get a few agerecords if I stay healthy.

Al Gilman (age 65):

How did you get started running?I was out for track my sophomoreyear of high school. We had nocross country program, and I went

out for football, but I only lastedtwo weeks. We got a new basket-ball coach, and he started thecross country program. He wantedus out for cross country or footballto get ready for basketball, so Iwent out for cross country. I wonmy first eight races and went tostate. That probably got mehooked.

What is a favorite memory ofrunning or racing?There have been many good mem-ories. But winning the 1974 Land-o-Lakes Marathon and running myPR of 2:29:25 is a favorite.

What were your highest and low-est mileage years? What per-centage of your running hasbeen in Minnesota?Lowest yearly mileage would besomewhere under 1,000 and high-est somewhere over 4,000, andover 95 percent of it in Minnesota.

What is your total mileage as ofJune 30, 2012? 110,000 miles, at it for nearly 50years, and I am shooting for an-other 50,000.

With at least 19 Minnesotans hav-ing run six digit mileage in a popu-lation of just over 5,305,000 (2010census), our rate of 3.58 per mil-lion is more than twice as high asany other state.

Currently, 20 percent of Min-nesotans are running daily, whichis also the highest rate in thecountry. Guess we can’t find muchelse to do here.

Minnesota’s Long, LongDistance Runners

As was reported in RunMinnesota previously in Part I,January/February 2011 and Part II, November/Decem-ber 2011, Minnesota has a significant number of lifelongdistance runners who have run more than 100,000miles. This year, three more individuals have been iden-tified, giving Minnesota a total of 19.

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 un-tied. You hope it doesn’t hurt too badly. You worry that, when you try torun 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 sev-eral minutes. Track miles can feel awful. 10Ks are the worst pain. Butnone 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 ofthe “DNF School Bus” that luxuriously transported all my fellow road-kill 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 anenthusiastic spectator or from the homeowner whose lawn I’d extempo-

Mitigating ultra running’s scariest momentsBY JOE UHAN

the liquor of the fool.” -Vikram, The Office*

*Uttered, I’m sure, by someoneelse prior to him.


raneously squatted upon. When you’re hurting bad, you

can be in some scary places in anultra: a 13,000 foot ridgeline withblustery winds and sleet atHardrock or in the bottom of asearing hot canyon at WesternStates, with no way out but up.You could be the only one aroundfor a two mile radius, even in themiddle of the race. Decisions toquit or to keep going in ultrasmust be carefully weighed, know-ing that once you leave that aidstation, your next opportunity forrespite might be an hour away.Second, when you’re hurting

and stop, the hurting oftendoesn’t stop. Even in the most in-tense track races, the pain lastsonly a score of breaths before re-lief arrives. In ultras, the bodypain, dizziness and nausea canlast for hours. Ultras really are scary. Some

of the most frightening, gutwrenching moments I’ve ever ex-perienced have occurredamongst ultra running and rac-ing, including:Shuffling along the shores of

Folsom Lake, in full suffer mode,with 22 miles to go, at AmericanRiver 50 Miler. Hobbling along Quarry Road in

the pitch darkness at mile 91, un-able to discern upgrade fromdowngrade at Western States. Doubled over in gut rot in des-

olate wilderness in sub-50 degreetemperatures and damp condi-tions with 20 miles to go and fad-ing sunlight at Three Sisters. Sitting at The Pump at Robin-

son Flat, too tired to yell or wavefor a ride back down the Divide,with a full marathon of canyons togo, during a Squaw to MichiganBluff run.Staggering along Lithia Park,

completely cashed of carbohy-drates and unable to run anotherstep, in Ashland, Oregon. Those were scary moments, to

feel that down and to be so faraway from “home.” None of thesescary moments resolved quickly,but eventually they all turnedaround. And nearly all had a suc-cessful finish:American River 50 Miler: A

strong rebound for tenth place. Myfirst “resurrection experience.”Western States, 2011: Fortieth

place in 20:02, in a race I waslucky to even run.Three Sisters: A successful,

but chilly, circumnavigation withdaylight to spare.Squaw to Michigan Bluff:

“Resurrection II.”Ashland: A well timed Vanilla

GU and a water refill, equaledsuccess.

Ultras are scary, but perhapsthat’s their draw. The degree ofrisk equates to adventure; theability to rebound can be as exhil-arating as a fast, problem freerace. But they’re still scary. Andrisk management, as well as fearmanagement, play a huge role inpreparation and execution, espe-cially for 100 mile races.At iRunFar.com, Andy Jones-

Wilkins has written several pieceson mental factors and prepara-tion. What he says is true: we

train the brain as much as thebody to race. We train for pain, sothat when problems arise, as theyinvariably do in ultras, we areable to cope. Moreover, trainingharder lessens the likelihoodseverity of trouble. Right?Not really. If anything, the op-

posite can happen.I’m enamored with the book,

Deep Survival. One of the manypoints author Laurence Gonzalesmakes is this: we take risk rela-tive to the degree of safety wefeel. That said, if we feel safer,we’ll push the envelope farther,or faster, than if a particular ac-tivity was risky. In many cases,perceived safety causes moretrouble than if these safety fac-tors didn’t exist. As such, going into a race such

as Western States, especiallybuoyed by excellent preparationand good health, it is easy to feeloverly confident or, just as dan-gerous, underestimate relativerisk. You run harder, sooner. Oryou ignore vital information aboutyourself or your environment. Andtrouble is right around the corner.Indeed, then, to be confidentwithout being wise can have se-vere consequences.Consider: looking back at more

recent Western States races from2006 to 2011, if you arrived atRobinson Flat at mile 30 in thetop 10, you had a 30 to 50 percentchance of not finishing. Why does this happen? Are

these runners unprepared orweak? Not likely. Most werestrong, talented runners. Somewere inexperienced. This repre-sents 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 theirhands? Maybe a few. Or maybethey pushed big and got in bigtrouble. Perhaps they simply didn’t

manage risk, or fear, well enough.Managing risk, as Gonzales

points out, involves perceiving

ever changing reality, such as fit-ness and pacing, nutrition, com-petition, trail conditions,temperature, one’s own psyche,and making constant adjust-ments. Ultimate success rests notin making perfect adjustments allthe time. Rather, it may just bethe recognition of your new real-ity, accepting it and being willingto adjust in some way with theleast delay. Geoff Roes ran low on calories

at the foot of Devil’s Thumb inWestern States 2010. His choicesincluded, pushing onward withthe leaders, ignoring the buildingmisery in his legs or backing offand taking care of himself.Hechose the latter.As he told iRunFar, post-race,

“I must’ve taken nearly 1,000calories in the next two-and-a-half hours” in response to thechange in how his body felt. Thismade his second half surge possi-ble, and he went on to win therace in record time. But managing fear is just as

important. I’ve read of fear beingreferred to as, “a bear in a cage,”and that one must learn to dancearound it, neither avoiding or ig-noring it. Running hard and fastearly, or before the finish is withinreach, can be scary. So can simplytaking another step when you canbarely stand. But indeed, thereare times to identify risk and backaway 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 ef-fectively manage risk, and ulti-mately fear, for a successful race.I just hope that I can do it betterthan the rest of them.

Ultras are scary, but perhaps that’s theirdraw. 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 manage-ment, as well as fear management, play ahuge role in preparation and execution...


O N T H E R U N

T hree years ago, my fa-ther, Jerry Anderson,lost his battle withchronic lymphocyticleukemia. Near the

end, even bending down to tie hisshoes winded him. He was alwayscold, no matter how many layersof clothes he wore. Every fewweeks, he had to undergo bloodtransfusions just to stay alive.

His struggle is why I registeredwith Team In Training, an organi-zation which encourages volun-teers to race, bike and swim theirway to fitness as they raisemoney for the Leukemia and Lym-phoma Society. Raising over$2,000 was the easy part. Gettingmy 41-year-old body back intogood enough shape to survive theMinneapolis Half Marathonproved more of a challenge.

I wasn’t exactly a couch potato,but I hadn’t raced in 10 years. Inthe meantime, I had transformed,twice, from Princess Leia intoJabba the Hut. During both preg-nancies, I padded my 5’2” framewith 50 pounds to emulate the ac-tress Kate Hudson.

Don’t get me wrong. My kidsare great, but being pregnant wasno pleasure cruise. From the mo-ment of conception, I retainedwater like a sponge, developed araging case of gestational dia-betes and melted all my musclesto mush. By the end of each preg-nancy, I couldn’t breathe, sleep oreat, much less exercise.

But real runners don’t make ex-cuses. They just run, probably be-cause they’re addicted. Iunderstand. Twenty years after myshort stint with the University of

Wisconsin at Eau Claire cross coun-try team, I still missed the feelingof accomplishment after a goodworkout. Racing with a team leftme with bittersweet memories andchronic IT band issues. But whenmy college teammate suggestedrunning for my Dad, I laced up mybrand new shoes and got to work.

Fortunately, walking the doghad dissolved the colossal preg-nancy weight, but training was stillexhausting. It took me ninemonths to run more than twomiles at a time. After my trackworkouts, I would nearly fallasleep driving home.

Week by week, mile by mile, mystrength, endurance and muscletone improved. One Saturday, Iplanned to run for an hour and ahalf. Eighty minutes into the run,something popped. This is when Ishould have stopped, but some-times runners are stubborn. Or stu-pid. During those extra 10 minutes,my IT band got tighter. And tighter.Haunting memories of IT band hor-ror flooded my frantic mind.

During my late twenties andearly thirties, I consulted multipledoctors and physical therapists,used a knee brace, back brace andhad steroids ultrasounded into myhip. My skin got irritated from allthe icing. I swallowed so muchibuprofen it caused gastro-intesti-nal distress. Sports massage, yogaand swimming didn’t fix it. The el-liptical machine bored me out ofmy mind, so I tried in line skating.

That’s when things turneddeadly. Almost.

During my second excursion onthose treacherous wheels, I at-tempted to level a bridge with my

body. Innocent bystanderswatched me fly down a steep in-cline and smack into a post toavoid killing some clueless manapparently deaf to my scream of,“Get out of the wayyyyyyyyyy.”

Now here I was, struggling withthe same old injury. I had hopedthat signing up for a good causewould “save” me. But, bargainingwith God wasn’t going to help. Idid yoga DVDs until I had all thecrummy jokes memorized. I fell inlove with my foam roller. As it gen-tly stretched out my taut IT band, Icrooned, “No one makes me feellike you do,” while my husbandgot jealous. And, I tried tostrengthen my core, once I figuredout what it was. I backed down onmy running mileage and startedover. Twice.

By the time of the MinneapolisHalf Marathon, most of my longruns had been only an hour. But, Iwas determined to run, walk orcrawl across that finish line.

On race day, I had three thingsgoing for me: (1) the weather wasperfect, (2) my patient runningpartner coached me through my“bite me” moments with a know-ing smile and (3) there were somany participants, it would have

been impossible to walk even if Ihad wanted to.

Plus, a grey haired gentlemanscampered just ahead of me,flashing his entire right butt cheekfor the last few miles. For somereason, I couldn’t let him out of mysight. If Grandpa Flimsy Shortscould do this, so could I.

In the end, my time wasn’t stel-lar at 2:02:58, but it was a heck of alot better than the three hours I hadexpected from my less than idealtraining. And only four days later, Ianxiously awaited my next run.

Even better, all the “I can’t dothis” self-destructive mentalgarbage that crowded my brainduring college races had disap-peared.

During the first 10 miles, all Iwanted 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.

Confidence recaptured along tribute half marathon journeyBY ANN NOSER

G E T T O K N OW

T o run well requires twoattributes: talent and apassion for running.While talent is lifelong, passions come

and go. Many talented runnersstop running when the gun nolonger goes off for them. Otherskeep on running, sometimes justas hard, no matter that they slowdown over the years, because theylove it.

For more than 50 years, BruceMortenson has been one of thebest runners around. In addition tohis talent, he has a lifelong, un-quenchable passion for the sport.

Two days before the interview,Bruce had run 18 miles on trails ina local park. Regularly, he runsfour to five miles in the morningand often does a long run in the

afternoon with the track and crosscountry teams he coaches. Re-cently, he completed a year with-out missing a day of running. Inhis lifetime, Bruce has run 64marathons and logged over100,000 miles

Runners are some of the happi-est people around. This is cer-tainly true of Bruce. He has aready laugh, a quick and articulatemind and an irrepressible, boyishgood humor.

BeginningsBorn on the last day of 1943,Bruce got off to an early runningstart. His father, athletically in-clined himself as a football andbasketball player, worked as a se-curity guard for an elementaryschool. As a youngster, Brucewould sometimes come to work

with him, because there was atrack at the school. Apparently,more than just romping in thestreets with his friends, this moreearnest experience of running fedhis young soul.

People with talent get noticed,especially if Coach Roy Griak is inthe area. As a ninth grader, forphysical education class, Brucewas required to run the 440. In-spired by running against an out-standing quarter miler, he ran therace in 62 seconds. “All of a sud-den,” Bruce recalled, “I had anarm around my shoulder and he[Coach Griak] was saying, ‘Whatare you doing in the fall?’”

St. Louis Park High SchoolUnder the direction of Coach

Griak, who looms over the world oftrack and field in this part of thecountry like a mystic presence,touching the lives of countlessrunners, and with the help of as-sistant coach Lefty Wright, Brucewent on to have a sterling runningcareer in high school.

The first year, in his first effort,he ran the mile in 4:59, later in theseason lowering his time to 4:43.He was hooked on running.Throughout the summer, he ran ona golf course, alone mostly, andran a lot of interval work.

As a junior, in a cross countrydual meet, Bruce kept pace withRick Anderson, one of the bestrunners in the state, causing thelegendary coach Al Haley to ex-claim, “Who is that kid?” He wouldbe sixth in the state cross countrymeet. As a senior, he would finish

second in cross country to LarryBronson, the terrific runner fromHibbing, Minnesota.

But it was on the track thatBruce’s star really shone. In his jun-ior year, he won the state mile in4:26. As a senior, he repeated aschampion in the mile in about thesame time, also anchoring the milerelay to the state championship.

Winning that mile relay, hesaid, “was one of the highlights ofmy running career. Because I’mnot a sprinter. I was doing some-thing 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 thestate championship. “It’s muchmore fun,” he said, “when you winas a team.”

One of the noble attributes ofthe mind is the urge to give it allyou’ve got. After his first statechampionship in the mile, Brucebegan writing to the great coachBill Bowerman of the University ofOregon. The Coach respondedwith short, encouraging letters.Why Oregon? Coach Griak hadbeen giving Bruce copies of Trackand Field News. Bruce was wellaware of the merits of the Oregonrunning program.

University of OregonBefore the move to Oregon, duringa visit to the campus, Bruce hadseen a steeplechase race. Ittouched a chord within him. Inthat race, he would find his great-est success as a runner for theUniversity of Oregon Ducks. He ranthrough the summer and then wasoff to Eugene, Oregon, the home

A passion for runningBY PATRICK O’REGAN

Bruce Mortenson



of the University of Oregon, with-out a scholarship (the Universityof Minnesota would have givenhim a full ride), thinking, “Okay,then, it’ll work out.”

At Oregon, Bruce added moredistance to his training. The teamwould run the famous Butte Trailand often sought out new placesto run in the countryside aroundEugene. At this time, the greatNew Zealand coach Arthur Lydiardcame to wide notice, with his phi-losophy of long, slow runs. Fresh-men didn’t compete with varsitythen, but Bruce won the steeple-chase at the Vancouver Relays.

The freshman coach, ChuckBowles, a friend ever since, was agreat help. As for Coach Bowerman,in Bruce’s words, “Coach Griak wassuch a great guy, like a father fig-ure. He could be tough, but you al-ways knew he cared. I felt close tohim then, and I still do.

“With Bowerman, you neverknew where you stood. He was acrusty old guy, and hard. Praisedid not come easy. If he saidsomething to you, you took it toheart. He was extremely intelli-gent and creative” (a co-founder ofNike, he made spikes for Bruceand the others on the team).

“He was an entrepreneur, a sci-entist and a coach all rolled intoone. There was no babysitting[with him]. He expected you to beindependent.” Do the work, or falloff the team.

The hard work was paying off.As a sophomore, at the NCAAChampionships, on successivedays, Bruce ran the 10K, 5K andsteeplechase. He finished eighth

in the steeplechase (fourth amongOregon runners). He also set hisPR in the mile (4:10).

But he really broke out from thepack in his junior year. At the PAC8 and NCAA Championships, hewon the steeplechase, loweringhis PR to 8:59. His performancesled to an invitation to the WorldCross Country Championship inMorocco, where he finished a re-spectable sixty-ninth. His team-mate, Tracy Smith, Bruce noted,was third.

It might be mentioned here thatBruce has run against or becomeacquainted with a pantheon of thebest runners in the U.S. of histime: Kenny Moore (his roommateat Oregon), Frank Shorter, MikeSlack, Tracy Smith, Steve Pre-fontaine (“A tough guy. But a verynice guy. Very intense and fo-cused, with a heart of gold. A guywho was enthusiastic about life,about everything he did.”), GerryLindgren (a “ragtag” looking kid),Doug Brown, Jeff Galloway, DonTimm, Ron Daws and so forth.

As a senior, Bruce finished thirdin the steeplechase at the NCAAChampionships.

After OregonAfter graduating in 1966, Brucestayed in Eugene for a coupleyears, working for the small sport-ing goods company that would be-come Nike. Seeing no future there(okay, so he’s not a businessman),he moved back to Minnesota, toRochester, and got a job workingfor the state as a rehabilitationspecialist, a career he would pur-sue for over 30 years. With his

positive, buoyant attitude, hemust have encouraged a lot ofpeople in that time. And he ran,changing to road races, namelythe marathon.

The only regret Bruce voiced inthe interview was not training ataltitude after Oregon. “I was agood altitude runner,” he said. “If Ihad gone to altitude right out ofcollege, I might have done prettywell.” But injury took him out ofthe 1968 Olympic Trials, whichwere held at altitude in Echo Sum-mit, California. He went on to be-come an outstanding marathoner,winning both the Drake RelaysMarathon and the Paavo NurmiMarathon in Hurley, Wisconsin, in1970 and 1971.

He would run the BostonMarathon a number of times. In1972, he was sixth in that race, ona warm day, in 2:19. Just two and ahalf months later, he ran theOlympic Trials. But the Boston runhad left him spent. “I ran myselfout of the Trials,” he said.

He just loved to run. Whenasked if he looked forward to theOlympic Trials as a goal, he said,“Not really. I just wanted to runwell.” Perhaps it’s telling to notethat went asked how many TwinCities Marathons he has run,Bruce said, “I don’t know. I don’tkeep track.”

Running as a MasterWhen Bruce moved to the TwinCities from Rochester for good, heand other outstanding runners, in-cluding Suker, Ankrum, Whethamand Mondry, started a Saturdaymorning running group. Every Sat-urday morning, down to 15 below,they ran 20 miles.

Starting at seven minutes permile, they’d up the pace, until theywere running the last miles at fiveand a half. In addition, Bruce wouldrun a hard track workout on Tues-days and a tempo run one of theother days. And a four to five milerun in the morning was a regularfeature of his running.

Bruce averred that his bestyears of running were in his early tomid 40s. At 41, he ran the TwinCities and Grandma’s Marathons in2:22. At age 45, he still ran themarathon in 2:26. But he also had

terrific range at this time, runningthe 5K in 15:19, the 8K in 25:12, the10K in 31:24 and the 50K in 2:59.

“I could have run faster [when Iwas younger],” he said, “because Iwas still running well into my40s.” He said he lacked the in-tense focus of runners like Pre-fontaine, Shorter, Moore andothers.

But running itself was thething. “I still love to go out everyday,” he said. “If I don’t run, I feelcrummy.”

Starting as a volunteer, nowhe’s a coach, Bruce works with theEden Prairie boys and girls trackand cross country teams. He runsthe long runs with them. “It’s fun,”he said. “We all know each otherthroughout the conference.”

Every meet is a get together.“It’s like going back to highschool. My wife [Rosie] (aftermeeting on a blind date, they’vebeen married 39 years) says thatthe reason I get along with thekids so well is because I’m at theirmaturity level.” Perhaps in someway, Rosie is right. And isn’t itwonderful?

Now, of course, like all of usolder runners, Bruce, at almost 69,is slowing down. “I don’t have thespeed, anymore,” he said. Or therecovery. And he doesn’t pushhimself into the pain of runninglike he used to. But it scarcelymatters. His love of running isundiminished.

As he recalled, during a trip tothe Olympic Trials this year, heldagain in Eugene, perhaps feelinginspired, he went to the Oregoncoast and ran 11 miles on thebeach. “There was nobodyaround,” he said. “Just the waves,the ocean, the sand and me run-ning along. That was wonderful.Life doesn’t get any better thanthat.”

After graduating in 1966,Bruce stayed in Eugene fora couple years, working forthe small sporting goodscompany that would be-come Nike. Seeing no fu-ture there (okay, so he’s nota businessman), he movedback to Minnesota...
