Attempting To Follow The Plan

ByTim Nolte December 5, 2018December 5, 2018

In an effort to actually take into consideration the things I read about running, and specifically training, I tried to slow things down today. I was still a bit faster than the training plan called for today but then it also felt like I was barely exerting myself, which is also kind of the point with slowing down and actually training my body and not just pounding on it. An additional benefit of slowing things down are being able focus and my one-on-one time with God. It allows me to actually listen to the words of the music that is playing, and listen to God’s prompting. Today was less about bring up my, or others, needs but about simply being thankful for where I am and how God has blessed me. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus

Who Wins A Marathon?

ByTim Nolte November 6, 2017

As I continue to reflect on my marathon, and look ahead to future runs, I thought this was a timely article. I’m always encouraged by the words of more experienced runners. I am honored to have finished something that most people in the world never will. Sometimes the Marathon Wins, but That’s the Point | Runner’s World

Virtual 5K Group Run For Clean Water

ByTim Nolte May 31, 2020May 31, 2020

Yesterday, was the #HWI annual 5K group run, though this year it was “virtual” since we can’t gather yet. It’s definitely not the same to just gather for a video call and then run on your own. Missing hearing the bells ring as I cross the finish line. Looking forward to the day when we can gather again. #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon #RiverBankRun Give to clean water: https://timn.me/2020HWI

Starting Off The Week With A Long Wet Training Run

ByTim Nolte November 5, 2018November 5, 2018

Despite the rain and chill, caused by a little breeze, it was decent enough to get out for a longer run. The weather was still a big motivator to keep going, which unfortunately caused my pace to be faster than what the training plan called for, but oh well. #Endomondo I enjoyed a run full of #worship music, but I felt so overwhelmed by the needs of friends and family, physically; emotionally; and spiritually, that it was very hard to focus and being very specific in my prayers. Perhaps this morning was supposed to be more about worship then bringing the never-ending mound of needs to Him. I’m still hoping to continue to raise money for more wells. I’d love to be able to hit…

Painting Instead of Programming

ByTim Nolte August 24, 2024August 25, 2024 Updated onAugust 25, 2024

Since I’ve taken up the hobby of 3D printing, and as a result have gotten into playing the One Page Rules wargaming system, I also decided to give a go at painting miniatures.

Trying A New App And 10k Training Schedule

ByTim Nolte February 20, 2017February 20, 2017

New training schedule for a 10k with Runtastic. Since I got a free premium subscription I thought I’d give this a whirl instead of paying for Endomondo. We’ll see how I like it. Tim just finished a Runtastic run of 4.28 mi in 40m 25s

Final Training Run

ByTim Nolte October 13, 2017October 13, 2017

A day late on posting this. Better late than never, right? It’s hard to imagine that I’m only a couple of days away from the marathon. I so appreciate this guy training with me these past many weeks. Looking forward to hitting the next milestone and crossing the finish line together.
