Losing the Motivation to Run #WhyIRan

ByTim Nolte

It’s rather frustrating how far I’ve fallen in my running from where I was just a couple of years ago. I’m pretty sure a large portion of it is because I’ve lost a lot of what kept me motivated. I don’t think it was ever really about just the running. It was about the and the . Without those two things happening for me right now there is just not a lot of motivation to keep pushing myself.

This year I need to find my way back to community and purpose for running. I’m not quite sure what that is going to look like but I know that is a huge think that took a toll because of and now I need to get past that.

Struggling Through A Solo 15 Miles Training Run

ByTim Nolte
It’s tough doing long training runs all by yourself, and 15 miles is no joke. I pretty much got my peak pace at around 10 miles. The final 5 miles was quite a struggle at times, and my lap pace times reflected it. It’s hard to imagine that I’m going to need to go another 11.2 miles beyond what I ran today come marathon day. This year has felt way more off than last year. I got it done nonetheless. #HWI #GRMarathon #Run4Water

Keeping The Trots At Bay

ByTim Nolte
This morning the wheels pretty much fell off my 6.5 mile run. As you can see I really only got a little more than 4 miles in. I had to stop because I just couldn’t keep jostling things around and keep the trots from hitting me. I did manage to get another really slow 1.5 miles in after that but it was still rough. I’m not sure exactly what the cause was but I do know that I haven’t been exactly eating great the last few weeks. Hopefully this next week I can get back in my groove. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #RiverBankRun

Training During The Winter, Treadmill Alternatives

ByTim Nolte Updated on
So up until the end of December I’d been sticking out running outside. Since the snow began to fly I’ve taken things indoors on the dreaded treadmill. 😉 Currently the treadmill running has been thanks to a great 3-month deal on a gym membership. Once we move into our new house in February/March I’ll be on our own treadmill, which we picked up cheap(used) before Christmas. I’m planning on joining some of the Hope Water Project – Team Daybreak group runs starting this Saturday, which brings me to considering what it means to run in the cold. I came across this Runner’s World post today that has many ideas on ways to keep training in the Winter months, or cold climates. I think the most…
