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

ByTim Nolte

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.

I’m not sure if I feel better about running just running with only a goal of his long. My overall pace average was slower than my last 50 minute run, and my average heart rate was way too high. I know that I need to work on some eating changes as well as increasing the number of times I run per week. Time will tell what this year’s running will look like.

    Tackling 6 Miles On My Last Day In Virginia

    ByTim Nolte
    Give the gift of clean water and hope for the future to children and families in Africa: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon This was one of those tough morning runs, where you have thoughts of quiting early. I didn’t let those feelings stop me, or use the heat and humidity as an excuse. I slowed down but kept pushing through. The same could be said when we are trying to make an impact on the world. If we let the overwhelming need minimize the significance of that one well that goes in then we risk giving up. It all starts with one. One step, one mile, one day, one village, one well. Over time that one turns into an impact that we couldn’t have even…

    Before The Sun Rises, My Time To Run

    ByTim Nolte
    Only $375 to go towards my goal, only about $12 per day until #GRMarathon day on October 20th. Who’s going to help bring clean water to another 56 people in Africa? https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun My running photo for today is a pretty typical sight for me.It can be a rarity that I’m actually have the opportunity to run with the sun out. With the exception of some shorter runs with the Hope Water team on Saturdays, or a race, my time to run is generally early in the morning before the sun rises. Except for the fact that I’m not really a morning person, and would rather stay in bed than get up and run, I like the peacefulness of an early morning run….

    8.5 Miles, It’s About The Purpose Not The Pace

    ByTim Nolte
    Will you help make clean water a reality for children in Africa? Give today: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr #HWI Having been a runner for about 4 years now I know how easy it can be to get caught up in times, paces, and having a good race. Being a part of Hope Water is about #WhyIRun which ultimately is about having a platform to share about the great need for clean water around the world, and specifically Africa. This morning as I ran I felt like just putting enjoying the run and focusing on my #Run4Water instead of worrying about how fast, or slow, I was going. I still had a distance as my target, and that was really the only thing I was concerned with. I am…

    It Shouldn’t Be All About The Run

    ByTim Nolte
    No PR today on my long tempo run but the but I also don’t feel like I over did it either so that helps me to know I could still push myself to a faster pace or keep up that pace for a longer time/distance. Unfortunately this morning was one of those where my mind got totally lost in the run itself. I have days like those and while I enjoy the running I also want to be taking that time listen to God and lift others up to Him. #HWI #HessLakeRun #GRMarathon #Run4Water Donate To Clean Water
