Working Hard To Make It Easy

ByTim Nolte Updated on

Something I noticed during the run this morning was how far I’ve come with increasing my speed, but also lowering my heart rate at those faster speeds. I’ve had many training runs where this kind of speed would see my heart rate soar. I can see the results however of pushing that heart rate up on a regular basis has given my body the workout needed to actually lower my heart rate during those faster paced runs.

This morning during my prayer and worship time I immediately thought of the staff and kids and the impact that rainy season has on them. I also focused on the teams as they work on drilling new wells. Praying for safety and success as the teams work to put the wells in that the team raised money for.

    Battling The Chunky Snow Covered Sidewalks

    ByTim Nolte
    Had a short easy run this morning, except for the snowplow covered sidewalks. I’m thankful for those that actually got out and cleared their sidewalks. Listening to worship music while I ran was good to my mind focused on why I run. Today is #GivingTuesday and there are matching funds available when giving to #HWI so I hope many take advantage of the opportunity to double their giving. Also, I did register for the #GroundhogDayMarathon so I’d love to have the support of people to help me reach that final $2000 goal. I only have $300 left to go. Six people could knock that out easily at $50 each. #Run4Water #WhyIRun Donate to Wells in Africa – https://timn.me/2t9D4ne

    While Running Anything Can Happen

    ByTim Nolte
    This week I was pretty off on my #training but I got my long run in today since I’ve got an all day conference tomorrow. It felt good to be back out running and I even felt good about my pace, for an easy long run. I’m not sure if it was God leading me but I started thinking about Sierra Leone and the next team going and wondered if I should consider leading the team. #HWI #GRMarathon #Run4Water #HessLakeRun #SierraLeone

    4th 5K…Struggling With My Progress

    ByTim Nolte Updated on
    Since I had more time today, day off today, I took an extra 4 minutes to cool down. Lost the full stats but caught my average minutes per mile to be 10. Feeling a bit frustrated with that average given that my best average to date was 9:31min/mi, just a week ago. :-/ I feel like I’m getting worse not better. Need to figure out what’s going on. Maybe I’m just expecting too much. [endomondowp type=’workout’ workout_id=’859517296′ ] Pro Gym, Jenison, Michigan

    Running The 2018 Grand Rapids Marathon for Clean Water

    ByTim Nolte
    This past Saturday I completed an 18 mile training run for the 2018 #GRMarathon in an effort to raise money for wells in Africa. Would you consider partnering with me? Donate Now – https://timn.me/2t9D4ne I’m about $350 away from hitting the $1000 mark, with another $1000 to go to hit my goal. Someone has stepped up to match all the money raised which means your gift will be doubled. #Run4Water #SierraLeone #Africa #CleanWater

    Keeping The Trots At Bay

    ByTim Nolte
    This morning the wheels pretty much fell off my 6.5 mile run. As you can see I really only got a little more than 4 miles in. I had to stop because I just couldn’t keep jostling things around and keep the trots from hitting me. I did manage to get another really slow 1.5 miles in after that but it was still rough. I’m not sure exactly what the cause was but I do know that I haven’t been exactly eating great the last few weeks. Hopefully this next week I can get back in my groove. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #RiverBankRun
