Working Hard To Make It Easy

ByTim Nolte Updated on

Something I noticed during the run this morning was how far I’ve come with increasing my speed, but also lowering my heart rate at those faster speeds. I’ve had many training runs where this kind of speed would see my heart rate soar. I can see the results however of pushing that heart rate up on a regular basis has given my body the workout needed to actually lower my heart rate during those faster paced runs.

This morning during my prayer and worship time I immediately thought of the staff and kids and the impact that rainy season has on them. I also focused on the teams as they work on drilling new wells. Praying for safety and success as the teams work to put the wells in that the team raised money for.

Focusing On The Distance Not The Pace

There is a reason the saying goes that “life is like a marathon, not a sprint” and it has to do with going the distance. Getting back to the basics of marathon training means focusing on slowing down and building up the endurance needed to finish well. If I’ve learned anything from this past year of training it’s that I lost sight of this fundamental part of training. If I have any hope of finishing well at the upcoming Groundhog Marathon I need to keep focus on that key piece of my training. Today I tried to keep that focus though I still finished with a much faster pace than my training plan directed. I’ll be working on that more in the weeks to come….

Beginning The Mileage Increase

ByTim Nolte
The training schedule this week is starting to increase my weekly miles, so my mornings are going to begin getting earlier. Early mornings are actually hard for me but it’s the only way I can really make the time to run. Why would I choose to get up in the wee hours of the morning to run? This is part of #WhyIRun and my commitment to #Run4Water while hopefully inspiring others through my commitment. #HWI #RiverBankRun Give to clean water: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr

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.

Packed And Ready For Sierra Leone

On Sunday our team met and got all the supplies packed up for our trip. This week we have all been making final preparations for the trip. I’m planning on posting regular updates to my blog which you can also subscribe to as well. Then I heard the Lord asking, “Whom should I send as a messenger to this people? Who will go for us?” I said, “Here I am. Send me.”  Isaiah 6:8 NLT
