A Surprising Snowfall To Start Off A New Week Of Running

ByTim Nolte

Enjoyed another 5+ mile training run this morning, even with the light snowfall. Since the ground is pretty warm the sidewalks were nice and clear.

Even though the has been postponed to the fall I’m still sticking with the training plan that I’m working through for now. I haven’t signed up for any virtual races yet but I might so so. Let’s hope that the pandemic gets under control and more races don’t get cancelled into the summer months.

Final Training Run In Minnesota

ByTim Nolte
Final Minnesota run this morning. Got some hills in as well as a fast interval run. The temperature has been getting warmer, the feels like is now above zero. Makes for a bit more of a comfortable run when the wind gets wiping. I was trying to take some extra streets to get the miles in but still had to double back a few times. #SmallTownRunning #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus

First Ice Beard Of The Winter

ByTim Nolte
Despite the stormy winter weather I was able to make some decent time. Having cleats that go over my running shoes is a huge help with any sort of snow and ice I encounter. The real problem was having my running glasses getting fogged up so often from the cold wind. I enjoyed some worship music while running despite most of my focus being on the ground in front of me. I spent a little time praying for a friend’s family due to some major medical issues. I think if I can manage this mornings weather I’ll be ready for the #GroundhogDayMarathon and whatever I get hit with. #HWI #Run4Water Donate to Wells – https://timn.me/2t9D4ne

Having Your Bowels Cut Your Run Short

ByTim Nolte
Yeah, it’s not pleasant to talk about, but as a runner you generally are aware of the things that can happen while on a long run. And when you aren’t someplace where you can find a well placed #JohnnyBlue things get interesting real quick. I had to cut a couple of miles off my long run this morning in order to literally make a run for the restroom. It didn’t kill my pace, I suppose it maybe helped to some degree. It doesn’t happen very often to me but I’ll have to be a little more cautious in the future.

I Might Need To Adjust My Half Marathon Training

ByTim Nolte
So yesterday I happened to PR for a half marathon. The “problem” is that it was only a half marathon training run for a half I’m doing in July. My Endomondo training plan has my goal set for a 9:22min/mi pace come race day. Well I ended up blowing that time out of the water by finishing a training run half marathon with an 8:49min/mi pace. So I think my current goal is too conservative. It probably doesn’t help that I continually keep pushing myself beyond the training plan paces. I have a hard time managing my pace.

Wells And Wellness…And Treadmills

ByTim Nolte
I decided to run on the treadmill this morning for my speed work, partly due to the down pouring rain. It was the toughest training run I’ve had in awhile. I’ve always considered the treadmill as the most boring and dreaded running you can do. I’ve starting to change my opinion on the treadmill. Instead of the dreaded thing I’ve always seen it as, however I have some to respect it, it challenges you in ways that the outdoors doesn’t. Needless to say today the treadmill won. I only made it to 6 miles and cut the last 23 minutes of my run. I did this photo collage to show that I not only #Run4Water but I also run for my health. About 3.5 years…

A Hard Journey For Water

ByTim Nolte
For many in Africa the journey to gather water is a treacherous one. They may not even end up gathering clean water. The goal of #HWI is to provide sustainable and accessable clean water. #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus Join us in bringing clean water to Africa: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr It was a wet and rainy run this morning, but I got it done. Next time it think I’ll be sure to wear my visor to keep the rain off of my glasses.
