Knocking Down The Intense Baseline Run

ByTim Nolte
It was a pretty quick intense run this morning, just something to give #Endomondo a baseline for training plan adjustments. Not really much time to enjoy to think about much or enjoy the warmer weather. It’s OK to have one of those every once in a while. I wasn’t sure how today would go given I didn’t get my Tuesday run in after being sick Monday. Every day is a new day! #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #RiverBankRun

Getting It Done On A Monday Morning

ByTim Nolte
It was one of those mornings where after getting up you entertain the idea of just going back to bed instead of get out there for a run. I got over it and hit the streets. It was a slow start, but by the end of my run I had easily picked up the pace. I came to a point, after having prayed for the pending #SierraLeone team, that it kind of dawned on me. How many of those in Sierra Leone get tired of the daily trek to get water for another day? They don’t really have the choice. I had a relatively easy choice this morning, nothing in my life hinges on that choice to run or not. My choice to run may…

Two Weeks Since Groundhog

ByTim Nolte
It’s hard to believe that it was 2 weeks ago that I did the Groundhog Day Marathon. It’s been nice to get back into a running routine this past week. Do to so e family things going on I wasn’t able to make it to run with those from the #HWI team. Hopefully I’ll be able to make some time soon. This morning while I listened to the worship music I was thinking about the next #SierraLeone team. I prayed that God would bring just the right people together for this trip. #Run4Water #WhyIRun #RiverBankRun

A Brutal Winter Run

ByTim Nolte
Wow, that is all I can say about the weather this morning on my run. Between the freezing rain pelting me, the massive wind gusts, and the snow-covered sidewalks that reduced my traction to almost zero, let’s just say I felt like I ran 12 miles not just shy of 6. I laugh because today was supposed to be an easy run day, and with that pace you might think I took it slow but that wasn’t really what went down. Mornings like this make it hard to focus on much else than the will power to keep going and get it done. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #RiverBankRun

Back In The Saddle After Marathon Rest Week

ByTim Nolte
So I wasn’t sure where to start after taking a week off after the Groundhog Day Marathon but I did need to get into a 25K training plan to prepare for the River Bank Run coming up in May. Naturally I took to #Endomondo to outline a customized training plan, so 8.8 miles for today is what was called for. It felt great to be back out putting some miles in again. I was missing the extra quiet time, and the extra time to just be in worship and open dialogue with God. It’s a lot easier to hear God speak when you are out early in the morning, in the dark, on a run with none of the hustle and bustle of life at…
