It was a little wet this morning, but it was just a short fitness assessment run. When you are going all out for 12 minutes you start break down the time into segments just to keep from getting overwhelmed. The rain made it a little more challenging to see but I managed it well enough. The rain was refreshing and a great way to keep cooled down while running.

First Snowy Run, First Ice Beard

ByTim Nolte November 11, 2019

The winter running season has officially begun. It was just a light snow so the sidewalks were still clear for the most part. We’ll see what they’re like tomorrow after the snow accumulates. I’m not on a new training plan but an easy 6 mile run seemed like a good distance to shoot for. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun

Just Another 11 Mile Saturday Run For Clean Water

ByTim Nolte December 14, 2019

During this season of celebrating the greatest gift of all remember those that don’t have some of the basic necessities such as clean water. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus Give the Gift of Clean Water: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr

Tackling A Rainy And Intense Fitness Level Run

ByTim Nolte June 20, 2019June 20, 2019

Despite it being a rainy morning it still felt good to be out for a run. After the 2017 #GRMarathon downpour, and consistent winter training, I’m pretty much good to run in anything. If you are going to run a race outside you have to train in everything if you want to be prepared. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun

Best 5K Yet, But What’s The Goal

ByTim Nolte January 24, 2017January 25, 2017 Updated onJanuary 25, 2017

Another day of enjoying the warmer outside weather. My pace has significantly increased and the last 2 days I’ve done a standard run with no intervals. Well actually, I was doing a Ghost Run, which the whole purpose is to best you’re previous time. I’m very happy with my progress however the question still remains for me, “What is my goal?”. My plan right now is to run the 5/3 Riverbank Run coming up this Spring. Since I’m already running a 5K at each workout then perhaps working on my time is where I should be focusing my attention. I still think I want to do the Grand Rapids Half Marathon this fall so I will need to do serious training for that distance. I…
