Starting Another Week With An Early Morning 3 Miles

ByTim Nolte June 28, 2021June 28, 2021

A little bit earlier run today,and I didn’t manage any PRs, but things felt pretty good nonetheless. When it comes down to it if you think about one of your worst days I don’t think it can even compare to the days that many in Africa face without clean water. I am more than willing to endure some discomfort, and tough days, if it means making water available to a village in Africa. Something that can mean the difference between life and death. #HWI #KCC #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRHalfMarathon #RiverBankRun

A Hard 5 Mile Tempo Run That Fell Off The Rails
ByTim Nolte August 24, 2021August 24, 2021
Let’s just say that regardless of how tired I was yesterday morning I shouldn’t have let the Friday race allow me to think that I would be OK with not getting my Monday 4 miles in. #HWI #KCC #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRHalfMarathon #RiverBankRun

Early Race Pace Run, Sort Of, Before The Men’s Breakfast

How can you say no to these children? With your donation you can make double the impact with our matching funds. $255 to go, meaning another 19 people impacted with clean water. Don’t wait, it’s easy to give now! https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr #HWI #Run4Water #WhtIRun #GRMarathon I had to get up at 4ak this morning in order to get my 15 miles in before the Men’s Breakfast. Today the goal was to do the whole run at my anticipated marathon race pace, which I’m targeting a 9:30 min/mile. My pace was a bit too fast, but it was a much shorter run, and given I did a 25K(15.5 mile) race this spring at an 8:30 min/mile pace it’s reasonable to be at a little over 9. I’m…

The kids are both gone this week, off to camp. I took advantage of that and didn’t get up so early to run. #HWI #KCC #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRHalfMarathon #RiverBankRun

Why I Run, Ronkorhun And Hope Water
ByTim Nolte August 7, 2018
Even though it was still humid the temperature was for sure cooler this morning when I stepped out the door. I got some good sprints in. I spent some time thinking about the village of #Ronkorhun , and the people I met there, praying that God would revitalize the people and draw them to Him. I also got to thinking about the amazing #HWI community that I am a part of, not only in West Michigan but as a whole. Praying that God would get us all through to the end. I prayed that the love and welcoming nature of the Hope Water teams would be felt by all that join a group run. #GRMarathon #Run4Water #WhyIRun

Another Running Milestone…20 Miles
ByTim Nolte September 23, 2017September 23, 2017
I had the pleasure of running my peak 20 miles training run with this amazing community. The amount of support and encouragement that I’ve received is a huge contributor to bringing me to the 20 miles milestone today. I would have never thought a little more than a year ago I’d be training to run a marathon. Even up until the 53rd Riverbank Run 10K this past Spring I was only considering doing the half marathon. With the encouragement, and a little positive peer pressure ?, I decided to go for the full marathon. It’s been a long journey to get to today, and I’ve built some amazing friendships along the way. I don’t think I could have made it this far without my running…

Highlights of WordCamp Grand Rapids 2018
ByTim Nolte July 1, 2018July 1, 2019 Updated onJuly 1, 2019
TL;DR – This year #WCGR was all about people and conversations for me. Oh, and trying my hand at speaking, which I didn’t totally bomb. Today marked the 4th WordCamp Grand Rapids that I’ve attended. Last year I was just an attendee but this year I stepped things up in a pretty bug way. I was not only a volunteer at the Happiness Bar, but I helped with organize the event, and was even one of the speakers. One of the things I love about #WordCamp Grand Rapids, and the #WordPress community is the people. Yet again I felt welcomed as a member of the community, valued for my experiences as a developer and user of WordPress, and encouraged when I had doubts of being…
