Completing My Saturday Long Run, Just Shy of a Half Marathon

It was a cold tough morning. However, despite many times thinking I was going to just cut the run short because it was too cold, or my water was all frozen I still got the Saturday long run finished. It really does help to have the NRC guided run going with a coach checking in with you regularly along the way motivating you to keep going.

    First Saturday Long Run After The 2019 GR Marathon

    ByTim Nolte
    When a village is chosen to receive a well World Hope doesn’t just go install it and leave without investing time into the village. It becomes the responsibility of the village, through support from World Hope, to protect and care for, their well through the oversight of a leadership team from their village.

    Feeling Like An Intense 5K Run

    ByTim Nolte
    As I hit the pavement this morning I felt like just kicking into high gear for the entire run. I’m not quite sure that it was an overall lifetime #PR for a #5K but I’m pretty sure I finished better than more recent 5K times. What’s crazy is that it wasn’t like I had gotten extra sleep last night or had taken some time off running. I know turning on the new Christian Workout/Running playlist helped. Maybe since I’m on the taper for the marathon, and the miles aren’t as high, I’m just feeling like I have more energy. I won’t be pushing it this hard tomorrow as Thursdays are usually the intense interval run days and I need to make sure I don’t wipe…

    Rocking Some Worship Music During My 3 Mile Interval Run

    ByTim Nolte
    It was a pretty nice cool morning for a run. It may be hard to get up early in the morning some days but it beats running out in the heat that is for sure. Morning runs make for a good quiet time as well. I’m usually rocking some worship music specifically put together as workout music. #HWI #KCC #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRHalfMarathon #RiverBankRun

    Last Run Before My Surgery

    ByTim Nolte
    When I got up this morning to thunder, lightning, and down pouring rain, I decided to wait until this evening to get my last run in before my surgery. As it normally goes, running in the evening is always harder for me. I can usually feel my supper, or what I’ve been eating that day, and it usually just doesn’t feel great. Tonight was no exception. I had intended on running 12 miles but only made it 10, and my pace slowed down considerably over the last 5 miles. It didn’t help matters either that I decided to break in my new shoes in a 12 mile run. I wouldn’t recommend that. I could definitely feel my shoes and the odd places that felt sore….
