Congratulations marathon competitors! All your hard work and dedication has paid off and we had another great Fargo Marathon this year. The streets are alive and are filling up fast with athletes from the FM area. Summer is a great time to take advantage of the beautiful trails and outdoor recreation in the Red River Valley; it is also a time to focus on your fitness and wellness.
The growing population of runners in the area has spurred an interest for outdoor recreation and activities. The advantages of getting outside to workout is availability 24 hours, low-cost exercise and chances to enjoy the true beauty around the Fargo-Moorhead area are everywhere. I would encourage everyone in Fargo-Moorhead to find one pastime they enjoy doing outdoors and stay dedicated to that activity over the summer months.
FM Stride is getting outdoors as well. This issue will feature some of the top professional golfers in the area with great tips and advice on how to advance your golf game. We are also featuring the new KotiKites & Windsports, a fun way to enjoy the outdoors and otherwise inconvenient wind in the Red River Valley. FM Stride took the initiative to line up the top 5 campgrounds within one hour of Fargo-Moorhead, so you will never run out of activities on the weekends.
As we all know, exercise is just one aspect of being healthy. This summer, FM Stride is recognizing the local farmers markets in the area. Local food is not only proven more nutritious, but also supports the local economy. With gas
prices rising this summer, there’s no better time to experience the benefits and low-cost of local, organic food.

How long have you been in the organic food business?My parents started this business in 1980 and I have been involved ever since.
Where do you get your produce?We grow all of our produce on a farm outside of Hawley, MN. We don’t use any chemicals, so everything is completely organic andgrown by hand.
Aside from plants, do you have any meats?We don’t sell meat products, but we do have organic eggs for sale. They come from a local family whose children took on the project of raising chickens. There are over 90 chickens and they produce about 80 eggs everyday.
While it may not feel like summer here in
Fargo-Moorhead, inside Hildebrants it is always glowing. The scent of fresh flowers fills the air as the wind gently passes through owner, Trina Kalm’s green house. Hildebrants hasbeen in business for over 30 years and provides local residents with fresh, organic fruits and vegetables.

Why would someone come to a farmers market over a grocery store?The food is cheaper and fresher. Also, there is no middleman, so the cost of transportation is eliminated. The food is fresh because it is closer to the source and we know that it is more nutritious because it is grown without pesticides. Local food also supports the local economy.
How many locations do you have?This is my only location, but my good friend Amanda runs Ladybug Acres in the parking lot of the South University Kmart.
What is one crazy factabout Hildebrants?We lost our roof last summer from the wind.
Three tips for someone who wants to start their own organic garden in their backyard:
Before you get started it is important to have a plan! What sort of plants do you want to grow? Make sure you don’t crowd your plants. They need their own space and room to grow. To keep things organic, instead of pesticides, use ladybugs. They help control pesky insects such as aphids.
health & Nutrition/5 Element
For Juliet Trnka at Five Element in Fargo, yoga and holistic
health has not only been a subject to study, but a way of life. Juliet- “Yoga is integrating the body, breath, mind and emotions. When these work together we experience optimal health and happiness.” Juliet has traveled the world studying eastern traditions and has been teaching the art of yoga for over seven years. She has brought her experience back to the
Fargo-Moorhead area and now offers classes in downtown Fargo.
How do you take a holistic approach to your training/exercise experience? Holistic means addressing all parts of something and recognizing them as interconnected. In classes and private sessions, we not only work with the body through asana (yoga postures), but also with focusing the mind and breathing. We start our classes discussing topics like healing with food and herbs, or how to work
skillfully with our emotions. In this way we try to connect with every aspect of the student.
Why is yoga an essential part of training/exercise?Yoga is different from other forms of exercise. It is essential that students be willing to work with their bodies rather than against them. In yoga, even though we work hard physically, we train to respect the body and not force it to do things it’s not ready to do.

Paradoxically, the more we respect the edge of our capacity, the more that boundary softens and allows us to practice more deeply than we could have by force.
What is the atmosphereof 5 Element? The atmosphere at 5 Element is calm, accepting and grounded. In this environment, the students can practice posture without distraction and the worry of being judged or compared to others. They can also relax knowing that their instructor can give them variations of postures and individual guidance. What is ayurveda and how is it related to yoga or holistic practices? Ayurveda is a sister science of yoga and comes from the same ancient roots. It is the practice of skillfully using one’s diet and lifestyle to achieve and
maintain excellent health. Specifically, it uses a diet of whole foods, herbs, breath practices and lifestyle
observances (related to sleep and activity) to bring the body into harmony. Really, yoga and ayurveda were never meant to be practiced
separately. Yoga integrates the body and mind, while ayurveda is used to resolve any imbalances that might be creating illness or disease. Using these two modalities together can yield wonderful results. Indeed, the goal of ayurveda and yoga are to prevent ill health, but to be balanced and satisfied on all levels, free from physical, mental and emotional imbalance.
If there is one thing that you would like people around Fargo-Moorhead to know about 5 Element, what would it be? 5 Element is a truly unique environment that offers a scope of experience that goes beyond yoga classes. Personal guidance in diet, balancing herbs and self-care for muscle pain issues are available. My goal is to provide a space where people can grow in compassion and self-understanding along with strength and flexibility.

Is My Body Fully Recovering After Working Out?
Tiffany Johnson D.C.Founder and Owner of Healing Touch Chiropractic in West Fargowww.htchiro.com
Follow Tiffany on FMStride.com
Here are some tips to improve the muscle recovery time, whether after a run or a strength workout. The average amount of time it takes for muscles torecoveris36-48hours.Talktoyourtraineroranothertrusted
professional on the types of exercises that decrease the recovery time, the timing of certain exercises and what is the best workoutfor your body.
If you have further questions, please contact Healing Touch Chiropractic at 701-893-3150orvisitusonthewebatwww.htchiro.com.Wethankyouforbeing a part of our life and look forward to connecting with you soon.
Drink WaterDrink half of your body weight in ounces of pure,filtered water. The commercial bottled water brands (Dasani, Aquafina, etc.) are highly acidic. These will NOT reduce the recovery time and impedes how our body heals. Instead, drink filtered water that is stored in a Klean Kanteen or glass container. Add lemons, limes, cucumbers or frozen berries to your water to kick boredom.
Get Proper RestKnow what your body needs for rest each night.Somepeoplefunctionadequatelywith6hoursofsleepandsomewith9hoursofsleep.What is most important is that your schedule is regular each night of the week.
Alkaline vs. AcidicEat alkaline foods instead of acidic foods. Acidity in the body creates a space in your body for disease to foster. On the other hand, alkalinity creates healing and health, therefore does not allow disease to set in. Some examples of these types of food include: Avocado, raw greens, cauliflower, cabbage, celery, carrots, peas, almonds, apples, cantaloupe, honeydew and oranges, bananas. Foods to reduce or avoid: dairy (pasteurized, non-organic), boxed food, wine, white pasta, fruit juice, sugar sweeteners (aspartame, NutraSweet, Splenda, sucralose) and microwaved foods.
ProteinConsume high quality protein drink (women – 15-20g, men – 20-25g) and high glycemic carbohydrate within 20 minutes of a workout. The protein drink is key for recovery and the high glycemic carb replaces glycogen (the body cell’s basic fuel). High glycemic fruits are grapes, pears, blueberries and pineapple. High glycemic vegetables are carrots, corn, sweet potato and squash.

health & Nutrition/Diet
Grocery ListTry These This Month!
Choose Egg Whites Over Whole EggsWhile the yolk in an egg does provide
healthy vitamins and minerals, it also
comes with the cost of high cholesterol.
If you are concerned about high blood pressure, eliminate the yolk.
Choose Whole Grain Over No GrainWhite, starchy carbohydrates can seem appealing to the eye at first glance, but your liver is screaming
“no way!” This fast absorbing carbohydrate gets broken down into glucose at warp speed, spiking your
blood sugar and forcing your liver to convert it to glycogen and later to fat.
Next time, try grabbing some whole grain with fiber, which will slow digestion down and keep your blood sugar steady.
Choose Turkey Over PorkBaconispartofanAmerican
breakfast tradition, but what
most people don’t realize is
how unhealthy traditional
bacon is. It doesn’t have to
be! Next time you’re in the
grocery store, opt turkey
bacon for your next breakfast.
With thousands of selections in a grocery store, it's not always
easy to tell what's good for us and what's not. Many foods might appear healthy at first glance, but in reality are actually bad for your diet. Here are some suggestions to sharpen your food selection skills.
21 MAY 2011
Choose Coconut Oil over Vegetable OilDon’t let the name vegetable oil fool you.
This deceitful ingredient is called for in many
cooking recipes; however, it is loaded with
saturated fats. Instead of vegetable oil,
try substituting for coconut oil ,which
contains more polyunsaturated and
monounsaturated fatty acids
(the good fats).
Choose Romaine Lettuce over IcebergAlthough iceberg lettuce alone is not
bad for you, it’s also not good. Iceberg
lettuce is considered empty calories
because of its high water content.
Instead, pick up some romaine lettuce
or mixed greens, as these types offer
phytonutrients and vitamins that other
lettuce groups lack.
Choose Hot Sauce over Ketchup
If you can’t stand the heat,
get out of the kitchen! If
you’re looking for more
flavor don’t rely on
sugar-packed ketchup
to get the job done. Try
different kinds of pepper
sauces to add more
flavor to your dish. These
sauces have been shown
to boost your metabolism
and actually help burn fat
instead of pack it on.
Choose Yams over Baked Potatoes
It’s hard to turn down a loaded
baked potato with all the butter,
sourcreamandcheese.Butif
you had to take a look inside
your arteries you might change
your mind. Yams on the other
hand are loaded with slow-
digesting carbohydrates
and are packed with
vitamins and nutrients
such as beta-carotene.

YOGAYoga is not only a great way to stretch out your body, but it has been
known by those who practice it to relax both the body and the mind. The main concentrations of yoga are exercise, breathing and meditation. Here are four basic yoga stretches to help you relax and stretch before or after a workout. Each can be held for 30 seconds to one minute (rest and repeat 3 times).

Now that summer is upon us, it is not only important to protect our skin with sun
block, but also to protect our eyes with shades. During the hot summer, FM Stride wants to make sure you stay cool with the latest trends of sunglasses from the Sunglass Hut in the West Acres Mall.
We are the ultimate destination for premium sunglasses.
We have two stores in West Acres. One is by the Finish Line and Hollister and we just opened a new store in Macy’s.
The Sunglass Hut is for everyone. Whether you are looking for style, quality or protection, we have your eyes covered. Many people don’t realize the importance of protecting your eyes from the sun’s harmful rays.
We have Versace, Oakley and Arnette for those looking for a sporty glass. And of course,Ray-BanandMauiJim!
I can’t tell you how many people tell me they can’t wear sunglasses because they get
headaches or become
dizzy. This is because the glasses they have are low quality. Come in and we will help you find a quality pair of shades that will keep you comfortable.
Of course! People are starting to see the
advantage of multiple pairs to change a look. I think sunglasses are the most expressive accessories that someone can use.
CatEyes!Butyoucan’tgo wrong with the classic aviators. There are a ton of new, exciting Oakleys coming out soon too! Stop by and look around.
Tip- Look for labels
identifying UV protection!

Breaking Windin Fargo-Moorhead
39 | MAY 2011
Breaking WindKoti Kites and Windsports store is here
and blowing people away with cool kites!
Trevor Ibach is no stranger when it comes to the
wind. The owner of Koti Kites and inventor of "The KitoReel," an automated kite spool and winder, has recently combined his love for the wind and opened a fresh new store located in Downtown Fargo. Koti Kites is more than just the kindofkitesBenFranklinflew around, but it's the kites that you attach to your body and fly around a lake at 50 miles per hour. FM Stride stopped by to talk with Trevor, Ian and Jesse about the new store.
Continued on next page
in Fargo-Moorhead
Q & A with Trevor Ibach1.) How did Koti Kites come to be?
I invented an automated Kite reel called the KitoReel, where you press a button and the kite goes up, and you press a button for the kite to roll up. My experience with that gave me ambition to open a store in Fargo.
2.) Why Koti Kites? Let's face it, there is wind around here! We want to see people outside again and having fun. There are so many different products for people to enjoy. We also have some great instruction courses to help educate too.
3.) Events?Check out the Jamestown Kite Festival this month on June 11th and 12th.
4.) Kiteboarding seems tough, how do we learn how to do it? Jesse is our instructor and holds classes frequently to educate customers about how to use the equipment. When you kite boardyouhave800lbsattachedtoyou,soitdoestakesomeinstruction and responsibility to fly safe. Once you get the hangof it, it's all fun and games!

6.) What's next for Koti Kites? This area has comparable wind
measurements to Hatteras, North Carolina, where one of the nation’s largest kiting events is held each
year. We would like to host an event orraiseawarenessinKiteBoarding
in this area. It would be great to see kids come in here and use our gear to
someday turn into a pro kite boarder. The closest pro kite boarders are in Minneapolis.
Our wind blows Minneapolis' wind out of the water! Pun intended. We would like to bring
an event like the Milacs Kite Cross to the Detroit lakes area. If a diversion is put into place in FM,
we will have the best place in the nation for kite boarding and water sports.

Heads Up on BeautyH
eads Up is not the average hair salon. There are not multiple rows of chairs with a dozen
stylists. There are three chairs with three stylists. At Heads Up, you can avoid the chaos that comes with a larger salon. Also, Heads Up does more than hair and nails, they’re also a boutique. It would seem most people wouldn’t recognize Heads Up as a salon whentheyfirstwalkin.OwnerBonnieEukelsaysthe boutique has an alluring atmosphere that invites people who don’t even have an appointment. We caught upwithBonnieandhere’swhatshehadtosayaboutHeadsUp...
What's Hot
For Hair!
Looking around, it’s easy to tell the salon does more than just hair. Talk about the boutique.
This is one aspect that sets us apart from other salons. We have a lot of great and unique girlfriend-like gifts that are awesome for events such as Mother’s Day, birthdays, or even for a
friendly get-together. They also make great last-minute gifts for
when you’re in a bind. You can browse while you wait for your appointment, it’s a very casual, friendly, and warm environment—you don’t need to be a client to browse our boutique.
FeathersTinsel Extensions
Tinsel Extensions
What are you doing that is trendy and popular right now?
Hair accessories! These are pretty big right now, especially after seeing Steven Tyler on American Idol. These are great for events like weddings and prom. We can tailor a number of different looks for special occasions. We do anything from feathers to tinsel. They add a splash of color that looks nice and it’s not obnoxious, so it won’t ruin your family picture.
Hair accessories? That soundslike it could get expensive.
No way! A strand of tinsel is only $4.It’sactuallya36inchstrandthat we fold over so it looks like you have multiple strands. To get a feather (like Steven Tyler) itisonly$8.Wehaveavarietyof colors for both the feathers and the tinsel. You don’t have to look obnoxious or over the top. A single feather or tinsel strand looks nice, and depending on how you wear your hair, you can
have a different look everyday with your accessories. It adds a nice splash of color to your hair
and it looks great too!
What is the deal with the Shellac Manicure?
This is huge! We offer upto70differentshades and it is applied like regular polish; however, once it is
on, it is hardened by placing your hand under a UV light. It lasts about two to three weeks and it is completely chip resistant. The average manicure only lasts about three days.A lot of times people have their nails done the night before an event, such as a wedding, and they’re in the next day for a touch up. There is no need for that with the Shellac. So don’t Shellac on your nails and come in to Heads Up!
What's Hot
for Nails!
We are not a chain! We are private and local.
Boutiqueinasalon.Weare more than just hair and nails. We have a wide variety of items for girlfriends, babies, animals and wine accessories too!
The atmosphere. It is very relaxed here and we are involved with our clients. We have a relaxed setting—everyone is
welcome (men too!). Our clients range from kids to adults.

marketing opportunities as top reasons for joining. We set the table for professionals to meet and support each other. What are some of your resources for the Community? We put together a beautiful Metro Profile each year chock full of pictures and statistics of the area. Many companies use it as a recruiting tool to bring new people in. We also publish a community calendar of events and a regional street map.
