2017 GR Marathon Nostalgia
This morning was a bit like reliving the 2017 #GRMarathon and that means I got home drenched. I think I did well enough pace wise despite the strong winds too. Have to train in all kinds of weather right. #HWI #Run4Water

Having Choices And Choosing To Run
Every day most of us, in the U.S. especially, have a dozen choices we can make. I had the choice to either get up at 4:30 am and run or stay in bed and sleep. Not to minimize those that do have some tough decisions to make, but in the big picture most of us have pretty easy decisions, compared to those in Sierra Leone. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGusGetting It Done On A Tuesday Morning
Any time I end up missing some days of training I wonder what tole it will take. I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy a longer run today that included a solid runtime. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #RiverBankRunCompleted My First Marathon…
Today was a pretty big day for me. I completed my first ever marathon. It was a tough day, with the down pouring rain, wind gusts of 20 some miles per hour, and getting cramps in my legs that slowed me down, I ended the race pretty discouraged. Not to mention I ended up having to be taken to the medic tent after crossing the finish line, which was something my running partner and I had talked about not wanting to have happen to us. Let’s just say it was a pretty humbling experience. I’m so thankful for all of the encouragement from the many Hope Water International runners the kept encouraging me on the way to the finish line. I especially appreciate Ron Bussa and Nick…Nailing The Saturday Long Run
This morning I really just ran to the worship music and went at the pace that felt comfortable. I’m pretty blown away to see how much I improved my pace in just a couple of weeks, where I finished with a 9:50 min/mi pace. I think the most enjoyable part of my run this morning was just being pleasantly surprised by the next worship song. When the next song came on I just got into a zone of focusing on the music and running in time with it. I loved it. When I run in the morning it has 2 main purposes for me, the first is to have a conversation starter to make people aware of the huge need for wells in Africa, and…Stepping Up The Long Run Miles
On Saturday I was up at 4:15am to get my 11 miles in before family time. It felt good to get a longer run in and not be so concerned about my pace, though I did have a time limit so that is always an additional motivator. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #RiverBankRun Will you commit to help with clean water? https://timn.me/2Kx7NErBack To Saturday Running With My Partner
We were supposed to have a slow easy run this morning but our conversation got the better of us and we kind of lost track of our pace. Felt good to be back out with my running partner doing a long Saturday run. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #SaturdayGroupRun Donate to Clean Water – https://timn.me/2t9D4ne
