Early Morning 13.1 Mile Training Run at Johnson Park
Another half marathon in the books with my running partner. Felt great to be out there on the trails again. #HWI #GRMarathon #Run4Water

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…12 Miles For Clean Water On A Brisk Saturday Morning
There is a lot of planning and work involved with putting in a quality well that will sustain a village for years to come, and through long dry seasons. When you support a well through Hope Water you can know that your dollars are impacting generations. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun Make a global, and generational, impact by giving to clean water: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr With the River Bank Run now being postponed to the fall I’m not sure what my running will look like. I haven’t stopped my 25K training plan, but there won’t be a race to finish out the training. I’m considering a Virtual Race, but it will be more money spent. We’ll see what this year brings for running.What Difference Does A Drilled Well Make?
Something that may not really be understood when people hear that #HWI helps to put in wells in Africa. The wells that Hope Water International partners with #WorldHope are drilled wells. These wells go down deep to clean water, and they overcome the challenges of the dry season. During the dry season the hand dug wells, or holes like is pictured here, dry up and daily living becomes a struggle to make it to the next rainfall. #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon Donate to Clean Water: https://timn.me/2Kx7NErA Surprising Snowfall To Start Off A New Week Of Running
Enjoyed another 5+ mile training run this morning, even with the light snowfall. Since the ground is pretty warm the sidewalks were nice and clear. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun Give to clean water: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr Even though the #RiverBankRun has been postponed to the fall I’m still sticking with the training plan that I’m working through for now. I haven’t signed up for any virtual races yet but I might so so. Let’s hope that the #COVID19 pandemic gets under control and more races don’t get cancelled into the summer months.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. 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…Monday Running With High Winds And Snowy Footing
It was supposed to be an easy run but with the wind and snowy walkways it was pretty tough out there this morning. #HWI #Run4Water #GroundhogMarathon #Garmin #Running
