Completing Our Last Training Run

A day late on posting this. Better late than never, right? It’s hard to imagine that I’m only a couple of days away from the marathon.

I so appreciate this guy training with me these past many weeks. Looking forward to hitting the next milestone and crossing the finish line together.

    Knocking Out Some Short Miles Along The Potomac

    Help bring more wells to Africa: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon #RiverRunning Had a good run in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia and along the Potomac River this morning. Sometimes it can be challenging navigating new territory as a runner. It amazes me how packed things are here in Old Town Alexandria compared to the neighborhood back in Hudsonville, Michigan.
  • Time For New Shoes

    ​ I’ve been running on these old shoes for some time. They’ve gotten pretty badly worn and it was high time I get new ones before I injured myself. Looking forward to my first run in them. A little bird (i.e. my wife) told me that a couple HWP Team Daybreak members have these shoes too.

    How Do You Stay Warm In Sub-Zero Temps? Run.

    It really looks worse than it was. I was trying to get a smile in there but I think things were a little too frozen. Ha. Despite how cold things were with the wind chill, it was really a comfortable run. I even got finished with a pretty great average pace.

    Hitting The Training Run Hard

    Today was a short assessment training run, basically 12 minutes of giving it all you’ve got. It’s preceded by, and follows, a 5 minute warmup & cool down run respectively. I did an out-and-back while giving myself some distance for a final cool down walk to home. We’ll see what this means for my final target pace for the Groundhog Marathon. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus I’m looking forward to representing Hope Water at the Groundhog Marathon again. My hope is to keep on target with the pace my training plan estimated and to complete it without having to walk. However, I’ve also considered intentionally doing walk/run intervals to ensure that overall I finish with a good time. We’ll see where I land. Give water, give…

    Back Running With The Hope Water Team

    I’m definitely well on the way to recovery. I enjoyed a nice Saturday group run with the #HWI Daybreak Team. Great conversations with Todd, Nate, and Josh. It was a nice change of pace to just get out there and run and have no agenda in regards to distance or any specific pace. I definitely took Ron’s advice today and just had fun. I’m also excited to see a bunch of guys taking the next step and moving from their half marathon last year to a full this year. I think it might have pushed me into the decision to do another full marathon this year. I feel like having completed 3 marathons I can share my own experience to help others succeed in finishing…
