Another Late Night Long Run, 7 Miles in the Wisconsin Dells

ByTim Nolte July 3, 2021July 3, 2021

I wasn’t sure if I was going to manage to get my long run in while in the Dells camping. I got it done even though I had to make a late night headlight run in unfamiliar territory. It’s not like I haven’t done it before. I wasn’t sure if I was going to manage the entire 7 Miles, since my last 6 mile run was a struggle to finish. It wasn’t any sort of stellar pace but I managed to finish without walking. This was a pretty hilly run so I feel good about managing the challenging run both for endurance and difficulty. #HWI #KCC #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRHalfMarathon #RiverBankRun

Battling The Chunky Snow Covered Sidewalks
ByTim Nolte November 27, 2018November 27, 2018
Had a short easy run this morning, except for the snowplow covered sidewalks. I’m thankful for those that actually got out and cleared their sidewalks. Listening to worship music while I ran was good to my mind focused on why I run. Today is #GivingTuesday and there are matching funds available when giving to #HWI so I hope many take advantage of the opportunity to double their giving. Also, I did register for the #GroundhogDayMarathon so I’d love to have the support of people to help me reach that final $2000 goal. I only have $300 left to go. Six people could knock that out easily at $50 each. #Run4Water #WhyIRun Donate to Wells in Africa – https://timn.me/2t9D4ne

I Might Need To Adjust My Half Marathon Training
ByTim Nolte April 29, 2018April 29, 2018
So yesterday I happened to PR for a half marathon. The “problem” is that it was only a half marathon training run for a half I’m doing in July. My Endomondo training plan has my goal set for a 9:22min/mi pace come race day. Well I ended up blowing that time out of the water by finishing a training run half marathon with an 8:49min/mi pace. So I think my current goal is too conservative. It probably doesn’t help that I continually keep pushing myself beyond the training plan paces. I have a hard time managing my pace.

Stepping This Up On Training Week Two
ByTim Nolte November 30, 2020November 30, 2020
Hoping to steps things up another notch this week and also get all 4 of my runs in this week. I need to work off all of that Thanksgiving food, like the entire pie I ended up eating myself since no one else wanted/liked it. #HWI #Run4Water #RiverBankRun Give the gift of water: https://timn.me/2020HWI

Completing My 2nd Marathon, The Grand Rapids Marathon With Hope Water International
ByTim Nolte October 21, 2018October 21, 2018
I completed my 2nd marathon today, finishing with an average pace time of 1:01 better than last year. It was still a tough last 3-6 miles of the run, but I finished with a good run the last 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile. I took it a little easier on one of the last couple of miles to help out a fellow #HWI team member from the East Michigan group that was having a rough go of it. I needed the break too as my last 6 miles I was fighting off some calf cramps. Overall it was a great day and I finished much better this year than last. There were so many that came out to cheer us on it made a…

Starting Off The Week With A Long Wet Training Run
ByTim Nolte November 5, 2018November 5, 2018
Despite the rain and chill, caused by a little breeze, it was decent enough to get out for a longer run. The weather was still a big motivator to keep going, which unfortunately caused my pace to be faster than what the training plan called for, but oh well. #Endomondo I enjoyed a run full of #worship music, but I felt so overwhelmed by the needs of friends and family, physically; emotionally; and spiritually, that it was very hard to focus and being very specific in my prayers. Perhaps this morning was supposed to be more about worship then bringing the never-ending mound of needs to Him. I’m still hoping to continue to raise money for more wells. I’d love to be able to hit…

Breaking Out The Facemask For A Chilly Interval Run
ByTim Nolte January 9, 2020
With as cold and windy as it was the previous day, for a short 3+ mile run, today’s temperature and longer run definitely called for putting on the facemask. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus Almost a couple of years ago now, I had the honor to travel to Sierra Leone Africa, and witness first hand the impact that clean water has. If you ever have the opportunity to take a trip like that it’s one you can’t pass up. In some ways, unless you’ve actually been there first hand to experience it, it can be very hard to really understand what it means, and the life change that occurs, from access to clean water. Can you imagine the possibilities of a world where everyone has access…
