Still Working on Getting Back Into My Training

ByTim Nolte

The morning started off a bit later than it should have but I still got my 4 miles in. The run was still a bit of a challenge, I could tell that I hadn’t gotten in the miles I should have the previous week. I’m a bit concerned how the Saturday 9 miles is going to go. I think come Saturday my only goal should be to finish, whether that means just doing walk/run intervals.

    Another 15 Miles For Clean Water

    Help Bring Clean Water to Africa: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon Now is the time to be kicking the fundraising into high gear. We have a $50,000 matching gift right now. Anyone that gives will have their donation doubled. It’s like a buy-one-get-one donation. ? #BOGOGiving Why not take advantage and double your impact! I didn’t get up early enough to get the additional 2 miles in that was on the HWI training plan, but I met the #Endomondo training plan miles. I knocked out the run with a pretty fast pace to get done before the running group met at 7am. It was way faster than the 9:53/9:23 pacing I was supposed to be running. I made it in time though.

    Knocking Out 14 Miles For Clean Water

    ByTim Nolte
    This past week I was reading a YouVersion devotional written by a marathon runner. The author talked about the point during the marathon when we are faced with the question “why am I doing this?”. This can also happen during those tough training days. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus Today was a good day, but on a long run the question of why can still pop up. Why did I wake up a 5am on a Saturday to run 14 miles? The reason for me is 3-fold. First is the mission to continue sharing the need for clean water. Second is do my best to stay active and healthy. The third reason is to be an example to my kids, and by getting up early I’m…

    Kicking Off A Monday With Another 5 Miles For Clean Water

    ByTim Nolte
    As I ran this morning my mind was on the huge impact that clean water has on the children of Sierra Leone. Easy access to clean water means a brighter future for the children. They can choose school over spending they’re days collecting water for their families. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon #RiverBankRun Double your gift of clean water: https://timn.me/2020HWI

    One Mile, One Runner, One Well At A Time

    ByTim Nolte
    Join Me in Supplying Clean Water to Africa: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon As the #HWI Team begins putting in even longer runs, working the way to half & full marathon distances, we have have an opportunity to bring awareness to the need for access to clean water in Africa. Even though for many of us this is another year of raising money, the need for more wells has not diminished. Can you imagine the life change if we could accomplish sustainable wells across all of Africa? The team won’t be stopping putting those miles in anytime soon.

    Reflecting On My Time In Sierra Leone

    ByTim Nolte Updated on
    The TL;DR is: I am blessed more than I ever understood and I will make every effort to give thanks in all circumstances. Also, where God’s love exists there is always hope for something better. As I continue to process my experience in Sierra Leone Africa I can’t help but feel like I spent a week in another world. What I find simply amazing is that in a place so filled with hardship, and circumstances I can barely begin to comprehend, there are people that still manage to find joy, be generous, and show love and kindness to someone so very much unlike them. I chose this photo of children, not filled with smiles and laughter, but showing that theirs is a life of daily…
