Last Run Before Sierra Leone

ByTim Nolte
I really didn’t want to get up this morning but I wanted to get 1 more run in before heading to tomorrow. Despite having to drag myself out of bed I got another for farthest distance in 1 hour, not bad. Once I got out there I could feel all the of this week dissipate.

Tackling The Ice Mounds, An Endurance Test

ByTim Nolte
It was a tough go of it this morning tackling the ice mounds left behind by the snow plows. Winter running is not the time to be working on speed that is for sure. Many times I had to take to running on the snow covered grassy areas in order not to trip and fall. I should stress here the importance of wearing proper footwear when running in the winter, and that means wearing some sort of cleats. There would have been no way I would have escaped some sort of injury if it hadn’t been for my cleats. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus Help Provide Clean Water: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr

A Rough Evening Long Run In Indiana

ByTim Nolte
Attempting to do a long run in the evening after a full day of activities with the family proved to be a bad idea. While I started off strong I just totally ran out of steam after a little over 14 miles. My overall average was still better than I would have thought, but that might just be for the fact that I was really going too fast to start. The unfamiliar roads, darkness, and rolling hills also didn’t help. I think the biggest thing I can say is that it is much harder doing these long runs alone. I won’t say that it can’t be done, but having the company of a fellow runner makes a huge difference. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon Donate to…

Sticking With The Pacers

ByTim Nolte
I wanted to make sure I hit my target based on how my training went. I decided before the race even started that I was going to stick with the pacers. That plan paid off. Even though my target pace was supposed to be 8:42 min/mi my choices for pacers was 8:30 or 9:00 and so I decided to stick myself in between, but really I just stuck with the 8:30 pacers the whole way, mostly. After hitting mile 10 on Butterworth Street there was a long stretch that was all downhill. I took advantage of that hill and passed the 8:40 pacers. I maintained that position probably up to around mile 14 which is when the mental part of my run had to kick…

Final Flight Leg and Arriving in Sierra Leone

We got on our flight to Paris. It was nice to have most of us fairly close together on the flight. We had a short time in Paris at the airport. Got some coffee recharged electronic device and took a chance to get to know each other better. Mike likes to be the jokester of the group. I don’t think any of us got much sleep in on the flight from Paris to Freetown. Dawn beat me at a game of checkers on the in flight media system. Leaving the airport was quite the experience and spectacle. We had a large group of young men that insisted on helping us get to the World Hope vehicles. Curtis and I got to ride in the World…

At the end of the day, it’s not about how far or how fast you’ve gone, it’s about getting out there and getting it done. It’s about bringing the hope of clean water to the world. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #RiverBankRun
