August Has to be the Real Dog Days of Summer for 2021

ByTim Nolte August 26, 2021August 26, 2021

Summer running is honestly not my favorite. As crazy as it may seem to many I enjoy Winter running more. I suppose early Spring or late Fall may be nicer, but there is no doubting that Winter is the coolest time to run. This year I think August has been the hottest, and most humid, that it’s ever been. Walking out the door in the early morning to heat and humidity is dreadful. #HWI #KCC #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRHalfMarathon #RiverBankRun

Doing An Intense Training Evaluation Run On A Foggy Thursday Morning
ByTim Nolte April 2, 2020
It was a pretty cool morning which attributed to the dense fog but the temperature was nice for a run. I’m planning on sticking with my 25K training plan until the time the #RiverBankRun was supposed to take place. The need for clean water hasn’t come to an end. #HWI #WhyIRun #Run4Water Give to clean water in Africa: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr With so many other changes happening because of COVID-19 it’s good to be able to keep some things the same. I’m general our family is adjusting to the new normal, but time will tell how things go. While most are in an area where you a generally restricted to their home it’s important for everyone to still find a way to connect with others. Using video…

My Longest Run Since The 2019 GR Marathon
ByTim Nolte November 26, 2019November 26, 2019
Most children in Sierra Leone don’t get to be “just kids” like kids can in America. Many children are the ones responsible for gathering the water that their entire family needs for the day. This results in either no education, or very little. Bringing more clean water to Africa means a better future for the children. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun Help Bring Clean Water to Africa: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr I almost got 9 miles in, which is almost 3 miles beyond the farthest distance I’ve run since finishing the #GRMarathon in October. It definitely felt harder on the last half than the 1st half. I’m glad I was able to get through it without getting let cramps again.

How Does The Fediverse Feel About Users Coming From Twitter?
ByTim Nolte November 12, 2022November 16, 2022 Updated onNovember 16, 2022
I understand that the #Fediverse does in fact have a distinct difference from #Twitter, and there is a lot that happens on Twitter, or can, that the Fediverse doesn’t want. #Mastodon #IndieWeb

Final Week Before Marathon Day
ByTim Nolte October 15, 2019
I hit my $1000 fundraising goal but there are many other team members still working to reach their goals. Partner with #HWI and help bring clean water to those in need. https://www.hopewaterinternational.org/teams/49 #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon There are only 5 more days before the Grand Rapids Marathon, which will be my 4th marathon. This week the number of runs is winding down, with only a short interval run this morning. I’ll do another short easy run on Thursday. It’s hard to believe that the marathon is this week already. No matter how much I train I always still feel a little nervous going into a race. There are many on the team where this will be their first full or half marathon, and the good thing…

A Wet Easy 11 Miles
ByTim Nolte March 28, 2020
I got 11 miles in this morning even though it was raining. With being stuck inside, and at home, pretty much all the time, I was glad to get out end enjoy the end of my run in some daylight. When I finished I enjoyed getting on a Zoom call with the #HWI team and catching up a little bit. This season will look a bit different without our normal kick-off, but we still have many ways to stay connected. #Run4Water #WhyIRun Be a partner for clean water: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr During my run the rain slowed down to a light most for a bit then it decided to pick-up again towards the end. In spite of the rain it was warm enough that I didn’t need…

Knocking Down The Intense Baseline Run
ByTim Nolte February 21, 2019February 21, 2019
It was a pretty quick intense run this morning, just something to give #Endomondo a baseline for training plan adjustments. Not really much time to enjoy to think about much or enjoy the warmer weather. It’s OK to have one of those every once in a while. I wasn’t sure how today would go given I didn’t get my Tuesday run in after being sick Monday. Every day is a new day! #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #RiverBankRun
