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
Final Week Before Marathon Day
I hit my $1000 fundraising goal but there are many other team members still working to reach their goals. Partner with #HWI and help bring clean water to those in need. https://www.hopewaterinternational.org/teams/49 #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon There are only 5 more days before the Grand Rapids Marathon, which will be my 4th marathon. This week the number of runs is winding down, with only a short interval run this morning. I’ll do another short easy run on Thursday. It’s hard to believe that the marathon is this week already.

I still had a distance as my target, and that was really the only thing I was concerned with. I am…
Day 6, Another 7 Miles
Day 6 done, and even got a better time and little bit of extra distance in. Looking forward to what the rest of the day is going to bring. #hwi #sierraleone
The Treadmill Saturday Long Run
Well the positive thing I can say is that with the treadmill you can keep a consistent pace. It was a good thing I put the TV on so I had something in view that was changing. It felt good to get it done. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #RiverBankRun
A Little Bit Of #WCGR With Me Camping
As I headed off camping with the family this weekend I was choosing what to bring to keep my phone charged. When you are a tent camping family you only have so much room. The charging pack I received for speaking at last year’s #WordCamp Grand Rapids, and the USB conversation dongle from this year made a great compact charging setup.
