Just Another 11 Mile Saturday Run For Clean Water

ByTim Nolte December 14, 2019

In the U.S. we have access to many things that we end up just taking for granted. And it’s not a matter of doing something wrong it’s just what we are used to. When a village receives a well it is a big celebration of thankfulness. During this season of celebrating the greatest gift of all remember those that don’t have some of the basic necessities such as clean water. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus

Unusual Running For A Wednesday
ByTim Nolte October 31, 2018October 31, 2018
I waivered on whether to go out and run or break out the treadmill this morning. For me I figure if I’ve ran part of a marathon in a cold downpouring rain I can handle a 50 degree sprinkle for a free miles. In general I will always opt for the outdoors versus the treadmill. I found a new worship running album on Google Play Music this morning which I really enjoyed, and felt God had wanted me to hear that specific selection of songs this morning. I spent a chunk of time praying for the guys in my accountability group. Seems like more than ever lately all of us have felt attacked or at a low point. I’m thankful to have a group of…

Getting The Rest You Need Makes For A Great Run
ByTim Nolte April 15, 2020
Last night I made a point of putting the phone away and getting to bed at a decent time. This morning I had a great run. Everything in life requires balance. If things are going rough in some areas or your life then perhaps there is some other aspect of your life that is out of balance. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun

Just Another Half Marathon For Clean Water
ByTim Nolte August 10, 2019August 10, 2019
The long training run for this day was just another 13 miles, which of course I made a half marathon by squeaking in the last 0.1 miles. On Saturdays that I don’t have early morning family commitments, or that I’m out of town, my goal is to get my miles in before the start of the #HWI group run. I love to hang out with the community even if I don’t get to run with them. I love to hear how Hope Water is impacting our running group as we are working to impact Africa with clean water. #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon Help Bring Clean Water to Africa: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr

While both recovering from some injury and trying to find off a cold that has hit the rest of my family, I have been trying to increase my running effort slowly. #HWI #Run4Water #GroundhogMarathon #Garmin #Running

Friday Impromptu Race
ByTim Nolte June 8, 2019June 8, 2019
On Friday, June 7th, I had the opportunity to join a group of #HWI Team members as part of a marathon relay team. I was chosen to bring the team home running the last 6.2 mile(10K) of the relay. It was a tough run for me as my phone/watch wouldn’t work, other than music through my headphones, so I had no idea what my pacing was and no timer to keep me hydrated regularly like I’m used to. I felt like I was sort of running blind. When I saw the results tonight I was pleasantly surprised to see that I came in around the time/pace that I had hoped based on a training run I did earlier in the week. It was a tough…

It’s The Abominable Snowman!
ByTim Nolte January 21, 2019
Let’s just say it was a little cold outside. I still don’t understand why people, and businesses, and churches couldn’t have their sidewalks clear by now. For those that got them cleared you are a blessing to us runners. I made the mistake of using my CamelBak again. The line froze again at about mile 3-4. I need to figure out something better, maybe the best I can do is water bottles when it’s this cold and just conserve. I can say that until now it’s been pretty great weather for runners in the winter. I take days like this as just another way to prepare for anything come the Groundhog Day Marathon. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus
