Completing A 10 Mile Run, With Help From The Team

ByTim Nolte

I was pretty concerned how 10 miles would go today given my 9 miles last week was such a challenge. However, when you have the support of your team, go Hope Water, you can accomplish great things.

When I finished out my run I was blown away. Not by the speed at which I finished but that I was able to complete the entire run without having to walk half of it. This was where one of the points of my that gave totally hit home. When you have someone to run with you can accomplish great things. If you try to run it all on your own you are going to struggle. This is a piece of advice I give every new runner I speak with. However, it’s not just for new runners, of you’ve been running for years you’d be amazed at what you can do if you move to running with someone.

Pushing Through An Intense Speed Test Run

ByTim Nolte
Back at it again this morning. It was an intense short training test run. I was hoping to see a #5K #PR but that may have to wait until Saturday when I do the #HotCiderHustle 5K. I had just ran the night before so my body hadn’t really had a ton of recovery time. I’ll be looking forward to representing #HWI at the Hot Cider Hustle. It sounds like there will be a few of us out there. I always love having the opportunity to share to share about the mission when I where my Hope Water blue.

Moving On From A Marathon…It’s Really Not About Me

ByTim Nolte
So today is the 2nd day since completing the marathon, and unfortunately I find myself in more of a discouraged state than in celebration of my accomplishment. There are many things going through my head, many thoughts that cause me to be more disappointed with marathon Sunday. Nothing played out like I had hoped. I ended up coming in behind most of all the other marathon runners from our group despite leading the pack throughout training. I didn’t get to cross the finish line with my running partner, or my kids. I ended up walking most of the last 4.5 miles. I ended up going to the medical aid tent after crossing the finish line. I have no photo of me crossing the finish line….

Expanding The Meaning Of Running For Water

ByTim Nolte
So this morning, after making it about a quarter of a mile from home, I realized I had forgotten to grab my water when I walked out the door. At that point I really didn’t feel like going back home and starting my run over. The first half of the run was OK, but the second half was a bit more of a struggle without my water, making my #Run4Water mean even more than normal. As I continued through my run, #WhyIRun was at the forefront of my mind. My struggle doesn’t even compare to the daily struggle for clean water that those in Sierra Leone, Africa face. I had the benefit of a virtually unlimited supply of water waiting for me after the run….

Having Choices And Choosing To Run

ByTim Nolte
Every day most of us, in the U.S. especially, have a dozen choices we can make. I had the choice to either get up at 4:30 am and run or stay in bed and sleep. Not to minimize those that do have some tough decisions to make, but in the big picture most of us have pretty easy decisions, compared to those in Sierra Leone. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus
