9.4 Mile Combo Training Plan Run, With Some Rain On The Side

ByTim Nolte

Today was another combo plan training run, #Endomodo distance and pace. Does that surprise anyone? Ha. It was nice to have things a bit warmer given the wind and rain. I don’t feel as soaked as yesterday but early in my run I felt like I was headed into a hurricane, especially when you see the rain moving horizontally.

After making through the first half of my run I spent the 2nd half praying for the village of and the church that is supporting them. I also thought about all those from the #HlWI team that have incurred some sort of injury that is now preventing them from running. Lastly, my thoughts turned to my sister’s new family addition PJ, who was just born. This world is a roller coaster of ups and downs and I’m thankful for a God that is with us through it all.

    I Told My Wife I Was Just Going For A Short Run

    ByTim Nolte
    So my distance terminology might just be a little wacky. When I told my wife that I was just going for a short run tonight she asked if I was running to the end of the street, which of course I responded with no I was just running 5 miles. She laughed. The other day on a work call I mentioned only running between 6-9 miles in the mornings, which got some puzzling responses as well. Having tackled 3 marathons, and putting in hundreds of training miles, I can say that I’m officially a long distance runner. Today was a little bit of an off day since I ran in the evening. I’ve been managing a cold all week and not letting myself get enough…

    Why Do I Run? No, Really, Why Do I Run?

    ByTim Nolte
    For some time now I’ve struggled with continuing to post my runs. I used to tell myself that I was trying to bring awareness to the need for clean water in the world, especially to our brothers and sisters in Sierra Leone, Africa. I feel like in the last few months I’ve lost sight of that, or if I’m really honest, it’s because I don’t think anyone else cares about that anymore. everything that has been going on with the pandemic, and now with the needed focus on racial injustice, I feel like people have forgotten about all the needs that existed before. The needs in our world are so many and we can’t all focus on all of them but we need some of…

    Every day the #HWI team gets out to train for the #GRMarathon is a show of our commitment to the cause of clean water in Africa.
