Hitting My Easy Run Hard, Because It Felt Alright

ByTim Nolte

Despite the outrageous things going on in the United States right now there are still things in our global world that haven’t changed, the need for clean water.

I was a little slow getting out the door this morning but once I hit the pavement things felt good. I can honestly say that, for the most part, when I run it is a brief time when I feel like I am escaping from everything going on in the world. Listening to my music, focusing on my running while listening to my interval stats, trying to just take in my immediate surroundings, and remembering those without clean water. Maybe that is why things felt so good this morning, not that every run is that way, but getting out there has an impact not only physically but mentally and spiritually.

Fighting The Urge To Just Go Back To Bed

ByTim Nolte
It was tough to get going this morning. After another rough night with my daughter not being able to sleep I had all I could do to not just go back to bed after the alarm went off. Once I actually got the pavement my pace was a slow start for sure. I’m happy to say though that by the end things had turned around. I did enjoy a good time in prayer and worship. I not only lifted up some recent needs, and praise, but I also lifted up the people in Sierra Leone that are still struggling to gather clean water for their families. I also lifted up our Enable The Children sponsored child and his family. I know that life is a…

9.4 Mile Combo Training Plan Run, With Some Rain On The Side

ByTim Nolte
Today was another combo plan training run, #Endomodo distance and #HWI pace. Does that surprise anyone? Ha. It was nice to have things a bit warmer given the wind and rain. I don’t feel as soaked as yesterday but early in my run I felt like I was headed into a hurricane, especially when you see the rain moving horizontally. After making through the first half of my run I spent the 2nd half praying for the village of #Ronkorhun and the church that is supporting them. I also thought about all those from the #HlWI team that have incurred some sort of injury that is now preventing them from running. Lastly, my thoughts turned to my sister’s new family addition PJ, who was just…

Kicking Off The Week Strong

My training plan slowed my pace down this week. I suspect since my last Thursday evaluation run involved some pretty icy sidewalks that it affected the outcome of my training plan. I felt really good even after taking this past Saturday off. It’s definitely been harder staying with it since I’m pretty disconnected from my Hope Water Team these days. I’m glad I got out there this morning to knock out some miles for clean water. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun

Running Miles For Wells And Worship

ByTim Nolte
I had to drag myself out of bed this morning. It was literally a battle of wills been my mind and body. Once I got out the door and my feet began to move things felt good. It helped to have the worship music playing and reminding me the one of the reasons #WhyIRun is to have one of one time with God, sometimes just to listen for his still small voice. I’m also determined to make every step I take have a bigger meaning as I rally support for clean water and lift up to God those on need. #HWI #Run4Water Donate to Wells – https://timn.me/2t9D4ne
