Starting A New Week, Letting Go of the Speed

ByTim Nolte
1 Comment

After a pretty hard Saturday run, and after seeing posts online shared by other runners, I think I’m finding my place as a slower runner. ,

From a lot of what I’ve been reading 2020 was tough on a lot of runners, it was tough on everyone of course. I think for a lot of runners part of the joy is the people you run with or meet on a run or at a race. The past year took much of that away for runners.

At the end of the day it really just comes down to getting out there and getting some miles in. And more importantly, sharing the need for clean water around the world.

    A Hoodie Kind Of Morning

    ByTim Nolte
    It was good that I had a week of blistering cold Minnesota running which pretty much prepared me for the colder weather we’ve had this week. This morning was a shorter interval run, but the 20 minute high intensity interval pretty much set me up to only focus on the run, and the upcoming Groundhog Day Marathon. I’m trying to just trust my training is preparing me like it should but the longest I’ve ran since the last marathon was 18 miles, which is 8.2 miles short. Again, I need to keep my focus on merely finishing and not let myself get caught up with anything else. I can’t deny that it would be great to beat my last marathon time, but I can’t let…

    When A Run Turns Into A Fight, With Yourself

    ByTim Nolte
    This morning wasn’t hard because of the weather, the terrain, or my physical state, this morning my run was consumed with a battle of my emotions and an ugly part of me that rears it’s head every now and then. Unfortunately, I spent little time during my run in worship or prayer, most of it was spent asking God to change my heart. I have struggled with grace taking a back seat when life gets tough, when I’m faced with the reality of an imperfect world. I quickly turn to frustration and anger. It’s a side of me that I’m ashamed of and generally ends up turning my thoughts against myself with feelings of negative self worth and the desire to just run away from…

    Just Another Half Marathon For Clean Water

    ByTim Nolte
    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
