What Difference Does A Drilled Well Make?

ByTim Nolte

Something that may not really be understood when people hear that helps to put in wells in Africa. The wells that Hope Water International partners with are drilled wells. These wells go down deep to clean water, and they overcome the challenges of the dry season. During the dry season the hand dug wells, or holes like is pictured here, dry up and daily living becomes a struggle to make it to the next rainfall.

Managing A Late Start Interval Run

ByTim Nolte
This morning had an off start. After waking up and looking at the time I realized I had forgot to change my alarm the night before and I had woken up an hour late.

I decided to just follow the intervals but cut the run short in order to get back home at a decent time. I did manage to get just shy of miles in, even though I had some tough going intervals. When you throw the major wind…

Getting My Butt Out Of Bed And Hitting The Pavement

Another one of those mornings that took some extra effort to get it of bed and get out the door. I really had to fight with myself to not just go back to bed.

Why Do I Run? No, Really, Why Do I Run?

For some time now I’ve struggled with continuing to post my runs. I used to tell myself that I was trying to bring awareness to the need for clean water in the world, especially to our brothers and sisters in Sierra Leone, Africa. I feel like in the last few months I’ve lost sight of that, or if I’m really honest, it’s because I don’t think anyone else cares about that anymore. everything that has been going on with the pandemic, and now with the needed focus on racial injustice, I feel like people have forgotten about all the needs that existed before.
