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.

Running In The Heat, And A Johnny On The Way

Some may ask, after a few years of raising money for wells, “why more wells?”. What most don’t even think about is both the pros and the cons of a new well in a village. You may be surprised to even think that there could be a downside to a new well in a village. A new well not only provides for a village but now there are those outside the village they will come because the water source is closer. Some may even relocate to a village because there is a new water source that is readily available. So the reality of it is that the more wells there are for people the less strain there will be on a village, in more ways…

Highlights of WordCamp Grand Rapids 2018

ByTim Nolte Updated on
TL;DR – This year #WCGR was all about people and conversations for me. Oh, and trying my hand at speaking, which I didn’t totally bomb. Today marked the 4th WordCamp Grand Rapids that I’ve attended. Last year I was just an attendee but this year I stepped things up in a pretty bug way. I was not only a volunteer at the Happiness Bar, but I helped with organize the event, and was even one of the speakers. One of the things I love about #WordCamp Grand Rapids, and the #WordPress community is the people. Yet again I felt welcomed as a member of the community, valued for my experiences as a developer and user of WordPress, and encouraged when I had doubts of being…

Running For Wells In Africa Means Lives Are Changed

ByTim Nolte
While I have been involved with Hope Water International, I have seen first hand the lives that are changed. Obviously, being able to travel to Sierra Leone Africa I saw what kind of life change can occur for people there. However, the other place that lives are changed are right here within the #HWI Team. The support of each other in the HWI community has helped people accomplish more than they had ever thought. That is another reason #WhyIRun with the HWI Team. When you have a group that is on a mission to show love to people half way around the world that they may never know, that loves spills over into the group itself. #Run4Water #GRMarathon Donate to Clean Water: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr
