Kicking off the First Full Week of 2021

ByTim Nolte Updated on

Every day is a new day, a chance to start again. While in the past my running focused a lot on trying to get faster, and hit another PR, this year feels like it’s it’s going to be a bit more of a reset and restoration year.

Some of the focus change for this new year is not just about running but about life in general. Sometimes life is more of a rollercoaster ride than just an ongoing hike to the top of the mountain. It still requires perseverance and not letting the hard days keep you down.

12 Minute Fitness Level Test Run On A Brisk Fall Morning

While we all have been impacted by this pandemic the biggest impact is on those that were already struggling. We can’t let the pandemic keep us from continuing to help those in need. We just have to find safe ways of doing that.

So far the easy runs have been way slower than in used to, and I’ve…

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…

Last Run Before My Surgery

ByTim Nolte
When I got up this morning to thunder, lightning, and down pouring rain, I decided to wait until this evening to get my last run in before my surgery. As it normally goes, running in the evening is always harder for me. I can usually feel my supper, or what I’ve been eating that day, and it usually just doesn’t feel great. Tonight was no exception. I had intended on running 12 miles but only made it 10, and my pace slowed down considerably over the last 5 miles. It didn’t help matters either that I decided to break in my new shoes in a 12 mile run. I wouldn’t recommend that. I could definitely feel my shoes and the odd places that felt sore….
