Doing The Thursday Training Run

ByTim Nolte

Another fine Thursday training run. Had a small amount of rain but it was nice to have it keep things cool. It was awesome to hear that my running partner exceeded his $1000 fundraising goal. I still have about $250 to go to hot the $1000 mark. I’m hoping to hit $2000 this year.

    Knocking Out 14 Miles For Clean Water

    ByTim Nolte
    This past week I was reading a YouVersion devotional written by a marathon runner.

The third reason is to be an example to my kids, and by getting up early I’m…

    Day Of Visits And Experiences

    ByTim Nolte

Eugene is from Nigeria and was brought to World Hope in Sierra Leone to lead the drilling teams. The tour included a lot of details on what the different equipment is used for in the process of drilling wells. There was so much I never realized went into drilling a well. After the tour we headed out to a village to dedicate a well that Hope…

    Reflecting On My Time In Sierra Leone

    ByTim Nolte Updated on
    The TL;DR is: I am blessed more than I ever understood and I will make every effort to give thanks in all circumstances. Also, where God’s love exists there is always hope for something better. As I continue to process my experience in Sierra Leone Africa I can’t help but feel like I spent a week in another world. What I find simply amazing is that in a place so filled with hardship, and circumstances I can barely begin to comprehend, there are people that still manage to find joy, be generous, and show love and kindness to someone so very much unlike them. I chose this photo of children, not filled with smiles and laughter, but showing that theirs is a life of daily…

    A Surprising Snowfall To Start Off A New Week Of Running

    ByTim Nolte
    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.
