Another Real Winter 4 Mile Saturday Run

ByTim Nolte February 19, 2022February 19, 2022

It was a snowy, blowing, cold winter run this morning. Let’s just say it was some tough going. However, despite the thoughts of quitting early because it was just too bad out, or too slippery, I pushed through and got it done. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #RiverBankRun

Today Started Out Good, But Ended With Me Dropping Facebook Officially
ByTim Nolte April 14, 2020April 14, 2020
This morning I ran 5+ miles. It was a great time of prayer and thinking of the people in Sierra Leone and being concerned that with #COVID-19 putting people out of work will raising money for more wells be put at risk. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun The day ended with me deactivating my Facebook account, with no real intent on returning, out of frustration with people that call themselves Christ followers, people that I once called friends. Their behavior towards the pandemic makes them appear like they have little regard for human life, or caring about others more than themselves. I think what’s even worse than jumping the Facebook ship is the fact that a lot of these people are also connected with my running group,…

Picking Up The Pace With The Snow Cleared
ByTim Nolte January 24, 2019January 24, 2019
With things warming up yesterday the roads and sidewalks got cleared pretty well. I was able to hit my interval training run paces quite easily. Looking back on the tough training week, I think it was actually a good thing in terms of getting an extra hard without to prepare me for today. I only have a couple of runs left in the training plan before the marathon next week, then it’ll be on to the #RBR 25K training. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun

Knocking Out Some Short Miles Along The Potomac
ByTim Nolte September 4, 2019September 4, 2019
Help bring more wells to Africa: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon #RiverRunning Had a good run in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia and along the Potomac River this morning. Sometimes it can be challenging navigating new territory as a runner. It amazes me how packed things are here in Old Town Alexandria compared to the neighborhood back in Hudsonville, Michigan.

Bringing Renewed Life And Joy Through Clean Water
ByTim Nolte July 22, 2019July 22, 2019
Every day the #HWI team gets out to train for the #GRMarathon is a show of our commitment to the cause of clean water in Africa. I have seen first hand the changes that reliable clean water bring to a village in #SierraLeone through the smiling faces, and brightness in the eyes, of children. #Run4Water #WhyIRun Donate to Clean Water: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr

What To Do About Sugar?
ByTim Nolte April 15, 2018April 15, 2018
“sugar doesn’t just sweeten your foods, it also messes with your biology, making you cranky, overweight, and, in a word, sick.” – Sugar Free: The Complete Guide to Quit Sugar & Lose Weight Naturally by Sonoma Press Pie, donuts, cookies, candy, ice cream they all sound so good and make my mouth start to water. What I do know is that just about 2 years ago my wife and I began a lifestyle change that included what we were eating. One thing we began to cut out in large part was sugary foods. After losing over 100 pounds I can say that it was all worth it. “sugar is in fact more addictive than cocaine” – Sugar Free: The Complete Guide to Quit Sugar &…

Getting In Some Miles Early On A Wet Wednesday
ByTim Nolte November 27, 2019
As I was running in the rain this morning it got me thinking about the hardship that the rainy season causes for many in Sierra Leone. Like those that work for Enable The Children, the children with disabilities ministry, and those that #ETC supports. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun It’s crazy to think that something like rain, which should be a blessing to a people in desperate need of clean water, could cause hardship. For many though, the rainy season makes it challenging to get around and do things like sell their goods at the market. A well also brings safety during the rainy season both from a health standpoint as well as from the risks of trying to gather water from moving water like streams. Help…
