A Hard 5 Mile Tempo Run That Fell Off The Rails
ByTim Nolte August 24, 2021August 24, 2021

Let’s just say that regardless of how tired I was yesterday morning I shouldn’t have let the Friday race allow me to think that I would be OK with not getting my Monday 4 miles in. #HWI #KCC #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRHalfMarathon #RiverBankRun

The Return Of The Running Selfie
ByTim Nolte August 22, 2019August 22, 2019

Donate to Clean Water: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon Things felt good this morning, especially with the cooler temperature. I’m hopeful that today’s run is a sign that my Saturday long run will go better this week. No matter whether we have a “bad” day or a good one, just getting out there and putting in some miles shows our commitment to the cause. Ultimately, more wells in Africa is the real goal regardless of how a training run goes. I haven’t seen any donations come in for my $1000 goal yet but I’m hopeful that someone will be inspired and moved to join with me every time I share.

Note from Ryan and Kjirsti
ByTim Nolte February 1, 2006

Dear Family and Friends, You may have already heard, but I wanted to let you know that Kjirsti and I have a new son! Owan Ryan Nilsen was born on January 28, 2006, at 12:47am, and weighed 6 lbs., 12 oz., 20 inches.

About and hour and a half after the delivery, the doctor and nurses were concerned that…

A Wet Thursday For Speed Work
ByTim Nolte June 13, 2019June 13, 2019

Today was a speed work day, and so it goes with those my mind was pretty much totally focused on my run and hitting the target paces. I did still have the worship music going so I was at least still able to connect with God that way. Even though it was a wet run it did help to keep me cool, especially on the intense intervals. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon Donate to Clean Water: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr Hudsonville, MI

The First Disciples
ByTim Nolte October 24, 2008

(John 1:35-39) We see here that John the Baptist had disciples of his own. Actually, later in the Scriptures, Jesus gives us the great commission to go and make disciples. Now the disciples that John had were following him, until they heard and saw Jesus. Really, it was John that pointed his followers to go follow Jesus. Something that is interesting, however, is the fact that John calls Jesus the “Lamb of God”. This was pretty early in Jesus main ministry and I wonder how many people really understood what that meant? Jesus being called the “Lamb of God” really meant that he was a sacrifice given by God. At the time most people were waiting for a Messiah to come and save them, but…
