Nice to Have Some Cooler Running Weather Again to Kick Off The Week

ByTim Nolte

Any morning I get up and get some miles in is a success, today was especially one of those. It was a rough night with not very good sleep, and I was tempted to just go back to bed to get some more rest. After last week’s hard training runs, including skipping my Monday run, I didn’t want to see a repeat. It was slow to get out the door but I did, and to my surprise it was cooler than is had been. Needless to say, I not only got my run in, I also got my best time for a 4 mile run in awhile.

Running can’t be just about hitting PRs, or running your fastest race. We all get older, and in time, we aren’t going to be getting any faster, we’ll only be getting slower. At some point we might be able to maintain a specific speed for awhile, but eventually our bodies will have had enough. When running becomes more about making a difference in the world, and impacting others, it doesn’t matter how far or fast you run but the message of hope that you share with others.

Sluggish Training Run But Thinking of ETC

Another training run in the books. I could definitely feel the soreness in my legs from the half marathon still. I could also tell that some bad eating the previous few days was affecting how I was feeling while running. I really need to get back on track with things. I did enjoy another day of switching up my running routes. Alimamy, our Enable The Children sponsored child, was on my mind early in my run since we got our welcome packet the day before. I’m torn knowing that life for a disabled person in Sierra Leone is a drastically harder life compared to the U.S. I pray that God would continue to bring more light and opportunities to the children of #ETC. #HWI #GRMarathon…

No One Cares If I Get My Run In…To Run Or To Sleep

I have to believe that every runner has those days where you have to sell yourself on the idea of getting your run in. I enjoy my running time, but there are those days where I get up and think to myself, “No one cares if I go out and run, I could just go back to bed”, but when I think about why I am running the idea of not going out quickly fades away. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon #RiverBankRun I run, you give, I match it, it’s as easy as that.

The Keyword is “Since” Not “If”

As a follow up to my previous post it’s important that we remember that everything we are called to do as a Christ follower is in the context of “since” and not “if”. What’s the difference? If we have the thinking, “if someone is doing ‘x’, or not doing ‘y’, they can’t be a believer”, we are basically inferring that someone has no faith or belief in Christ because of their actions. That’s a pretty big leap, and a sure fire way to further the view that Christians are righteous, judgemental, hippacrits, essentially modern day Pharisees. As we dig into the New Testament we’ll find it’s very clear that as a result of being, or “since” we are, Christ followers there should be a lot…

A Run To Refocus And Relieve Some Stress

ByTim Nolte
Due to early morning work my morning run got delayed. However, it was a downpouring rain. At 4:30 this morning anyways. It was a tough run with the heat/humidity and a bad morning at work. I needed the run to clear my head and prepare myself for the day ahead. Despite all the focus on myself on this run I did listen to God’s prompting long enough to lift some others’ needs up to him. #HWI #GRMarathon #Run4Water
