Running With Purpose, Grand Rapids Marathon Training

ByTim Nolte

When I started running it was about getting healthy, but once that goal had been met there needed to be more to running than just staying healthy. The greater purpose for running came when I joined the Team and ran my first marathon. Bringing clean water to those in Africa that desperately need it is a far better purpose for running than simply staying healthy. Every day I get out and run is a reflection of my commitment to clean water.

DNF 14 Miles, Winter Won Today

ByTim Nolte
Some days you have a hard run, then there are some days where your it’s just brutal. Today the deep coat of fresh snow got the better of me. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus I was even doing my best just stick with my training plan running pace of 11:01/mi, but that wasn’t enough to get me through it. After 10 miles I just need to rest, which was only 2.5 miles after I had started up again running with the Hope Water team for maybe a mile before we parted ways. It’s tough having a day like to day knowing that in 2 weeks I’m supposed to be running a marathon (26.2 miles for those that don’t know).

I shifted my long run day to Thursday. It’s OK right now, I have a feeling it’s going to be harder when I need to do a 12 mile run in the wee hours of a Thursday morning before work. #HWI #Run4Water #GRHalfMarathon #Garmin #HalfMarathon #Running

Putting In Some Running Time, And Not Worrying About The Rest

Instead of the tempo run that I was supposed to run I decided to just run for 50 minutes. My goal was simply to run for that amount of time and not worry about how far or how fast I was going. #RunToRun #5K #training

I’ve been out for about a week dealing with an injury and lack of sleep due to a crazy house schedule. I’m hoping I can get back into things… #HWI #Run4Water #GroundhogMarathon #Garmin #Running
