Being Prepared For Parenting

ByTim Nolte April 13, 2018

As much as I’d like to think that I was ready to parent the fact is that I owe a lot to my wife. If it wasn’t for my wife’s knowledge and experience my kids wouldn’t have had the experiences they have had so far. I’m still learning everyday day how to be a better parent.

A Brutal Winter Run
ByTim Nolte February 12, 2019February 12, 2019
Wow, that is all I can say about the weather this morning on my run. Between the freezing rain pelting me, the massive wind gusts, and the snow-covered sidewalks that reduced my traction to almost zero, let’s just say I felt like I ran 12 miles not just shy of 6. I laugh because today was supposed to be an easy run day, and with that pace you might think I took it slow but that wasn’t really what went down. Mornings like this make it hard to focus on much else than the will power to keep going and get it done. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #RiverBankRun

Another Late Night Long Run, 7 Miles in the Wisconsin Dells
ByTim Nolte July 3, 2021July 3, 2021
It wasn’t any sort of stellar pace but I managed to finish without walking. This was a pretty hilly run so I feel good about managing the challenging run both for endurance and difficulty. #HWI #KCC #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRHalfMarathon #RiverBankRun

Pushing Through An Intense Speed Test Run
ByTim Nolte November 8, 2018November 8, 2018
Back at it again this morning. It was an intense short training test run. I was hoping to see a #5K #PR but that may have to wait until Saturday when I do the #HotCiderHustle 5K. I had just ran the night before so my body hadn’t really had a ton of recovery time. I’ll be looking forward to representing #HWI at the Hot Cider Hustle. It sounds like there will be a few of us out there. I always love having the opportunity to share to share about the mission when I where my Hope Water blue.

Missing The Hope Water Team on an Early Morning Long Run
ByTim Nolte August 21, 2021August 21, 2021
I knew it was going to be a tough run going it alone, then when I stepped out the door and felt the heat and humidity there was no doubt I was going to have a rough go of it. #HWI #KCC #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRHalfMarathon #RiverBankRun

Final Week Before Marathon Day
ByTim Nolte October 15, 2019
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. No matter how much I train I always still feel a little nervous going into a race. There are many on the team where this will be their first full or half marathon, and the good thing…
