Enjoying A Comfortable Afternoon At The Campground With Family
This 4th of July #holiday week we are enjoying camping with 4 generations of Nolte’s. Had a great time at the water park this morning and we’ll be heading to the beach this afternoon. #FamilyCamping #WaterPark #4thofJuly
Kicking It Into High Great After A Day Of Rest
After taking the previous day off due to lack of sleep I was more than ready to go this morning. So much so that I was pretty much in a comfortable high gear for most of the run. It helps to be rockin’ the worship music right along with my run. I have to give credit to those longer hard speed work training days too. I’m still looking for a few more people that might consider donating to wells in Africa as the year comes to an end and Christmas approaches. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus Donate to Water – https://timn.me/2t9D4ne
Training During The Winter, Treadmill Alternatives
So up until the end of December I’d been sticking out running outside. Since the snow began to fly I’ve taken things indoors on the dreaded treadmill. 😉 Currently the treadmill running has been thanks to a great 3-month deal on a gym membership. Once we move into our new house in February/March I’ll be on our own treadmill, which we picked up cheap(used) before Christmas. I’m planning on joining some of the Hope Water Project – Team Daybreak group runs starting this Saturday, which brings me to considering what it means to run in the cold. I came across this Runner’s World post today that has many ideas on ways to keep training in the Winter months, or cold climates. I think the most…
Eating Right For Running
As my wife and I have been on a journey of eating healthy, and being more active, I’m always interested in ideas for new recipes or things to try for snacks/meals/etc. Following some of the activity tracking app blogs or other runner blogs is always a good source of ideas. 4 Recipes for Runners: Eat Right – Run Better https://www.runtastic.com/blog/en/nutrition/4-recipes-for-runners-eat-right-run-better-2/ https://www.runtastic.com/blog/en/nutrition/dairy-free-carrot-walnut-cookie-recipe/
Striving For Better But Not Losing Sight Of The Purpose
When it comes down to it I have a strange definition of “easy run”. The reality of it is that I just have this drive to always do better, to try harder. I know perfectly well that I won’t be winning any races in the foreseeable future, but like in most things I do I know I can always do better. The key piece that I can’t, we all can’t, forget is that doing better doesn’t change how much God loves us. Our worst is no different than our best in God’s eyes. Ultimately, God only cares about where our heart is at, and if we are in a relationship with him. I run not just to get better at running, but because I know…
Battling The Cold And Wind
It was a tough early morning training run today. I can definitely tell that I haven’t eating well and getting enough sleep lately. I really need to reevaluate what I’m doing outside of my training runs if I’m going to even hope to complete another marathon. I enjoyed the worship time I had, which was one the major things keeping me going. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus
