Tackling The Fitness Level Test Run

ByTim Nolte December 20, 2018

Today was just a short fitness level test run. I was kind of hoping I might hit the 5k mark but I just wasn’t fast enough to get that additional half mile in. I’m curious how #Endomondo is going to adjust my training plan after this run. I really didn’t have much of a quiet time due to the intensity of the run. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus

Kicking off the First Full Week of 2021

Every day is a new day, a chance to start again. While in the past my running focused a lot on trying to get faster, and hit another PR, this year feels like it’s it’s going to be a bit more of a reset and restoration year. #HWI #RiverBankRun #Run4Water #WhyIRun

Fun Day With The Kids And Family
ByTim Nolte April 7, 2018April 7, 2018
We had a fun day with the kids starting off with a birdhouse building project at Home Depot. The kids didn’t want to go but in the end they had a lot of fun. On our way home from birdhouse building we stopped to checkout the animals at PetSmart. The kida of course wanted to get more pets but we aren’t ready to go down that road just yet. We already have a cat that they have a hard time with. The afternoon was filled with festivities celebrating Jacob’s Birthday. He was so happy to have family come adn especially his school friend. Us adults enjoyed some adult conversations for a change as well. Pokemon was the highlight of Jacob’s party.

Just an Early Morning Recovery Run
ByTim Nolte December 12, 2022December 12, 2022
After a late night with not quite enough sleep, and still feeling some tired legs, I didn’t do the training plan’s optional additional 15 minute run. These days running has been anything but routine. #HWI #Run4Water #GroundhogMarathon #Garmin #Running

5K Training Run – Need to Slow it Down
ByTim Nolte February 14, 2017February 14, 2017
I haven’t been posting my runs in awhile, just for the pure fact of the extra time it requires to post it to my blog. It’s just faster using Endomondo’s share feature to post to social media rather than turning off the social media sharing of my blog posts. Today’s training run, day 2/week 3, was a slow pace day. Was very hard to stick to the show pace, as evidenced by my time. It was supposed to be a 11:42 min/mi rune but it was more like 10:00 min/mi. ? [endomondowp type=’workout’ workout_id=’872608651′]

Last Run Before My Surgery
ByTim Nolte May 23, 2019
When I got up this morning to thunder, lightning, and down pouring rain, I decided to wait until this evening to get my last run in before my surgery. As it normally goes, running in the evening is always harder for me. I can usually feel my supper, or what I’ve been eating that day, and it usually just doesn’t feel great. Tonight was no exception. I had intended on running 12 miles but only made it 10, and my pace slowed down considerably over the last 5 miles. It didn’t help matters either that I decided to break in my new shoes in a 12 mile run. I wouldn’t recommend that. I could definitely feel my shoes and the odd places that felt sore….

Last Full Training Week Before The Big Day
ByTim Nolte October 9, 2018October 9, 2018
Pretty much unheard of for me today ended up being an evening training run, and an #Endomondo one at that. I started off way better than the start of a typical morning run, but given I’ve had a whole day to get my body moving that sort of makes sense. It was still pretty warm and humid, though I really appreciated the occasional breeze. I can’t wait until the temps cool down more. It did get me thinking about what those in Africa have to deal with, just walking, to go for miles just to get a container of water. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun Donate to Water – https://timn.me/2t9D4ne I did spend a lot of time thinking about my former camp co-worker Jon and his family….
