A Little Bit of Hill Training

ByTim Nolte

I haven’t run into a race course yet that didn’t have some hills. When you are training it’s important to do some hill training if you don’t want to get caught off guard with hills during your race.

Between sidewalks and paved trails, we are pretty blessed with the conditions we have to run in. In stark contrast, for most in the road to water is dangerous. When a well is put in a village it brings the water to a safe place for all.

    Running Goals & Purpose

    ByTim Nolte
    When I start talking with people about my running there is always the question of why I’m running and what my goals are. I’ll be honest that running just kind of happened. Don’t misunderstand, running wasn’t an accident, but rather came out of inspiration from my wife and the fact that a team of runners formed at my church. I wasn’t involved in the Hope Water Team raising money for well in Africa this past year, but do intend on helping this year. When I started running as a way to lose weight, about 115lbs in the past year, it was pretty much because it was the easiest thing for me to find time to do. It is becoming more than that for me. It…

    Just Another Saturday 13.1 Mile Run

    ByTim Nolte
    The need for access to clean water in Sierra Leone hasn’t been met so why would my running stop. Every run I take gives me an opportunity to share about the remaining need for clean water in Africa. I also hope that my commitment inspires others. This holiday season remember those less fortunate and make an impact. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus Give the gift of clean water: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr

    Knocking Out 14 Miles For Clean Water

    ByTim Nolte
    This past week I was reading a YouVersion devotional written by a marathon runner. The author talked about the point during the marathon when we are faced with the question “why am I doing this?”. This can also happen during those tough training days. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus Today was a good day, but on a long run the question of why can still pop up. Why did I wake up a 5am on a Saturday to run 14 miles? The reason for me is 3-fold. First is the mission to continue sharing the need for clean water. Second is do my best to stay active and healthy. The third reason is to be an example to my kids, and by getting up early I’m…

    Giving Your Time And Attention

    ByTim Nolte
    Nothing can replace time. Kids don’t need things; they need time. YouVersion plan ‘Better Together’. Check it out here:http://bible.com/r/Qc Just last night I had the opportunity to help start the Watch D.O.G.S. program at my children’s elementary school. One of the reasons for this is put together so nicely in my devotions this morning, showing our kids how important they are by giving them time. The essence of relationships is not what we do for each other or what we give to each other. The essence of relationships is how much of ourselves we give to each other. YouVersion plan ‘Better Together’. Check it out here:http://bible.com/r/Qc “I give my wife everything she needs. I give my kids everything they need. What more do they want?”…
