Late Night Saturday Long Run

ByTim Nolte
6 Comments

It didn’t work out to get my run in this morning so I headed out tonight, but it sure was a challenge running into some of those 25+ mile/hour wind gusts. Overall things went OK except for my right shoulder starting to hurt pretty bad which definitely threw off my running form, and slowed me down a bit. I did manage to get almost 9 miles in. If I would have tried to look at my overall mileage when the timer ran out and noticed I was so close to 9 miles I would have ran the extra little bit. Oh well.

Completing My 2020 Virtual Grand Rapids Half Marathon

ByTim Nolte
To be honest, this morning didn’t feel like marathon day. It pretty much felt like any other morning I get up while it’s still dark, and everyone else is asleep, to go for a run. #GRMarathon #Run4Water #HWI This year has been a challenging one for running, and races, that is for sure. Most races were cancelled, postponed, or changed to virtual. My training has been all on my own, and when the pandemic hit I stopped sharing all of my runs on social media. Life wasn’t “business as usual” and I really couldn’t maintain a facade like it was. I did commit to running my 2020 Grand Rapids Half Marathon as a virtual run despite the offer to defer to next year. This morning…

Experiencing Enable The Children, Finishing at the Beach

ByTim Nolte
Today was an amazing experience with Enable The Children. It was both heartbreaking and encouraging to see what is happening for special needs children in Sierra Leone. We started off the day having breakfast at th the hotel with a visit from Anna Vines who is the director of the ETC program at World Hope. She gave us some background into the program and helped set expectations for the day. After breakfast we met a few of their staff that were going to be taking us around to visit children. Paul Jangba was George, Mike, and my “guide” for the day. I was blown away by the love, care, and compassion Paul showed to the children we met. He only has a High School education…

“Official” River Bank Run 25K Training Start

ByTim Nolte
This week starts the official #RiverBankRun 25K training plan, though I started a week early with my training plan. I’m not signed up for any other races before the RBR so far, and with #COVID19 still going strong I don’t see that changing anytime soon. #HWI #Run4Water #SocialDistanceRunner

Running And Giving Thanks

ByTim Nolte
Back at it after my camping vacation. I commend those that are able to stick with the training while on vacation. My love right now isn’t really conducive to running while on vacation much. It was nice to back out running having some worship and prayer time. I spent some time giving God thanks for walking with me as I worked to get healthy, which allows me to run for clean water. #HWI #GRMarathon #Run4Water #WhyIRun I also spent some time giving Him thanks for the amazing wife He has blessed me with. In many ways my wife is the better half in our family. I’ve been blessed to have someone that can counter my failings when it comes to being a parent but also…

Fighting The Urge To Just Go Back To Bed

ByTim Nolte
It was tough to get going this morning. After another rough night with my daughter not being able to sleep I had all I could do to not just go back to bed after the alarm went off. Once I actually got the pavement my pace was a slow start for sure. I’m happy to say though that by the end things had turned around. I did enjoy a good time in prayer and worship. I not only lifted up some recent needs, and praise, but I also lifted up the people in Sierra Leone that are still struggling to gather clean water for their families. I also lifted up our Enable The Children sponsored child and his family. I know that life is a…

Taking On The Wet And Windy Tuesday Run

ByTim Nolte
It was a kind of interesting morning, weather wise. There was some big thunder before 4am but when I got outside for my morning run there wasn’t much for rain, just some sprinkles and mist off-and-on. The wind came and went as well. The crazy thing once again is to see my pace improve of the course of my run. Instead of what one would normally see, where your pace might get slower over the course of a run, for me my pace got better the longer I ran. It was a good morning for a run all around. Only a few more weeks until the #RiverBank and I think I’m feeling good about my training so far. #HWI #WhyIRun #Run4Water
