Finished Another 5.00mi Run Today

ByTim Nolte

I pretty much missed the boat this past weekend, since I overslept and missed my Saturday long run. We’ll see how this week goes. It was another single digit morning, with a bit of snow as well. I made a point to stick to the streets in order to keep some traction.

    Reflecting On My Sierra Leone Experience While Running

    ByTim Nolte
    Since we’re gone camping this weekend I decided to get my long run in before we left. I was thinking a lot about my experience in Sierra Leone while I ran, including those specific people I had the opportunity to meet. I miss being there and am a little saddened that I may not get back there again. I’m still processing my time there, and trying to better share small pieces of my experience with others. When I think of Sierra Leone and their struggles for #water the song #Africa by #Toto always comes to mind. #HWI #GRMarathon #Run4Water #WhyIRun #HessLakeRun Donate To Wells In Africa https://youtu.be/FTQbiNvZqaY Hudsonville, Michigan, United States of America

    Expanding The Meaning Of Running For Water

    ByTim Nolte
    So this morning, after making it about a quarter of a mile from home, I realized I had forgotten to grab my water when I walked out the door. At that point I really didn’t feel like going back home and starting my run over. The first half of the run was OK, but the second half was a bit more of a struggle without my water, making my #Run4Water mean even more than normal. As I continued through my run, #WhyIRun was at the forefront of my mind. My struggle doesn’t even compare to the daily struggle for clean water that those in Sierra Leone, Africa face. I had the benefit of a virtually unlimited supply of water waiting for me after the run….

    What Does It Mean When A Pandemic Hits A Country Already In Need

    ByTim Nolte
    As I ran another 5 miles this morning I couldn’t help but think about the added struggle #COVID19 is now causing in Sierra Leone. I don’t think anyone complaining about the U.S. hardships has even thought about the fact that we still have it pretty good compared to places like Sierra Leone. With all of our indoor plumbing we don’t have to think about travelling 2 miles to a crowded well to gather water. A country like Sierra Leone is between a rock and a hard place when any epidemic hits. How can anyone survive a stay-at-home order if they don’t have water at home for both drinking and sanitation. The only hope they have is organizations like World Hope, and other NGOs, trying to…

    Christmas Eating Recovery Run

    ByTim Nolte
    Some people may not realize that I actually love food. One of my downfalls is also that I’m an emotional eater. That made the commitment to drastically change my eating habits no simple task. There were a couple of things that helped me stay the course on my journey to a healthier lifestyle. The first thing was that before the journey began I was diagnosed with #prediabetes, and if I didn’t make some changes I was going to have some major health issues in the future. The other piece was that my wife and I started that journey together. This made things like meal planning, and having healthy snacks on hand, a ton easier. There was a lot of holiday snacking going on this week,…
