Yes, I Did Also Run On Monday

I didn’t get around to sharing yesterday’s easy run to the masses, you may have seen it if you follow me on one of the various run tracking platforms. Today’s speed work kicked my butt indeed. I got a Garmin 5K PR though, so I can’t complain, plus I did manage to get up early and get out for a run.

At the end of the day it really doesn’t matter how “good” your run is, all that really matters is that you got out the door and were active. Can a PR, or feeling really good at the end of a run, be something to be excited and happy about, for sure. In the long run, no pun intended, the PRs are going to stop. We are all going to get older and slower, that is a fact of life. However, if I can reach my 70s/80s/90s and still get out and put some distance in no matter the speed or the distance I call that an ultimate win.

I’m still looking for some partners to help me cross my fund raiser finish line. It’s not too late to join me and make a global impact. https://timn.me/HWI2022

    New Route, Same Running Partner

    ByTim Nolte
    I met up with my running partner at the Riley Street Middle School this morning, and we tackled a new running route. Runner’s know you don’t want change up too much at once. It was a mostly rural run, had to run the roads for the majority of the route, but that was just fine, while have some good conversation with my running partner. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #RiverBankRun

    Completed My First Marathon…

    ByTim Nolte
    Today was a pretty big day for me. I completed my first ever marathon. It was a tough day, with the down pouring rain, wind gusts of 20 some miles per hour, and getting cramps in my legs that slowed me down, I ended the race pretty discouraged. Not to mention I ended up having to be taken to the medic tent after crossing the finish line, which was something my running partner and I had talked about not wanting to have happen to us. Let’s just say it was a pretty humbling experience. I’m so thankful for all of the encouragement from the many Hope Water International runners the kept encouraging me on the way to the finish line. I especially appreciate Ron Bussa and Nick…

    A Rough Evening Long Run In Indiana

    ByTim Nolte
    Attempting to do a long run in the evening after a full day of activities with the family proved to be a bad idea. While I started off strong I just totally ran out of steam after a little over 14 miles. My overall average was still better than I would have thought, but that might just be for the fact that I was really going too fast to start. The unfamiliar roads, darkness, and rolling hills also didn’t help. I think the biggest thing I can say is that it is much harder doing these long runs alone. I won’t say that it can’t be done, but having the company of a fellow runner makes a huge difference. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon Donate to…

    Reflecting On My Sierra Leone Experience While Running

    ByTim Nolte
    Since we’re gone camping this weekend I decided to get my long run in before we left. I was thinking a lot about my experience in Sierra Leone while I ran, including those specific people I had the opportunity to meet. I miss being there and am a little saddened that I may not get back there again. I’m still processing my time there, and trying to better share small pieces of my experience with others. When I think of Sierra Leone and their struggles for #water the song #Africa by #Toto always comes to mind. #HWI #GRMarathon #Run4Water #WhyIRun #HessLakeRun Donate To Wells In Africa https://youtu.be/FTQbiNvZqaY Hudsonville, Michigan, United States of America
