Saturday 5 Mile Long Run, Training For The Groundhog Marathon

ByTim Nolte November 20, 2021November 20, 2021

It was hard to get up early on a Saturday morning knowing that I could just stay in bed and no one would know or call me out on it. However, even though it took me a good 45 minutes to get out of bed and hit the run I knew that missing training runs would only lead to a more disappointing finish come February, and having the guided coaching had been a huge help. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GroundhogMarathon

Eating Right For Running
ByTim Nolte June 11, 2017July 21, 2017 Updated onJuly 21, 2017
As my wife and I have been on a journey of eating healthy, and being more active, I’m always interested in ideas for new recipes or things to try for snacks/meals/etc. Following some of the activity tracking app blogs or other runner blogs is always a good source of ideas. 4 Recipes for Runners: Eat Right – Run Better https://www.runtastic.com/blog/en/nutrition/4-recipes-for-runners-eat-right-run-better-2/ https://www.runtastic.com/blog/en/nutrition/dairy-free-carrot-walnut-cookie-recipe/

It was a sluggish run after taking a week off. My #Garmin tells me that I was detraining. #HWI #Run4Water #GroundhogMarathon #Running

How Often Do We Use Water?
ByTim Nolte August 13, 2019August 13, 2019
In the U.S. pretty much everyone has running water where they live. How much water do we use in a day? Showers, meals, washing dishes and clothes, using the bathroom, watering the flowers/garden/lawn, making coffee/tea/other drinks. What if you had to walk 2-5 miles to get a jug of water, maybe even river or pond water? Can you imagine what it would be like to have clean, drinkable, water just down the block? While we might still consider having to go even a block to get more water and inconvenience, think about the life change close access to clean water actually makes in the lives of those that don’t have it. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon Give The Gift of Access to Clean Water: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr

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

Over 1,200 children die each year in Sierra Leone related to lack of clean water. The remaining $255 towards my goal will save 19 more children. Will you join me to impact the children of Africa? https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon Also on: MastodonMastodon
