Doing An Intense Training Evaluation Run On A Foggy Thursday Morning

ByTim Nolte

It was a pretty cool morning which attributed to the dense fog but the temperature was nice for a run. I’m planning on sticking with my 25K training plan until the time the was supposed to take place. The need for clean water hasn’t come to an end.

With so many other changes happening because of COVID-19 it’s good to be able to keep some things the same. I’m general our family is adjusting to the new normal, but time will tell how things go. While most are in an area where you a generally restricted to their home it’s important for everyone to still find a way to connect with others. Using video chat/conferencing is a great way to interact with people and I highly recommend people use it.

This can also happen during those tough training days. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus Today was a good day, but on a long run the question of why can still pop up. Why did I wake up a 5am on a Saturday to run 14 miles? The reason for me is 3-fold. First is the mission to continue sharing the need for clean water. Second is do my best to stay active and healthy. The third reason is to be an example to my kids, and by getting up early I’m…

Getting The Saturday Long Run Done

We all have those off days, for me today was one of those. The second half of my run was more challenging than last week. Given I PR’d for a half marathon I was surprised by today. I really can’t complain, I was supposed to be running a 9:40 min/mi pace. So in reality I was pushing when I shouldn’t have been. Some times I think about giving up the focus on pace and even getting faster and just go out and enjoy the run for what it is. I’m sure at some point I’ll get there, I’m just not sure if I’m ready to be at that place yet. When you are running for almost 2 hours you have a lot of time to…
