Another Saturday Evening Long Run

ByTim Nolte November 12, 2022November 13, 2022 Updated onNovember 13, 2022

It was another Saturday that required a schedule adjustment to run in the evening instead of the early morning. It’s definitely not my favorite time to run, and I almost made the choice to skip it, but I managed to get myself ready and out the door.

Given how late it was, the long day behind me, and knowing that my shoulder problems would probably give me problems the longer I ran, I opted not to do the optional 20 minute extra run interval. It’s interesting to experience how something like an issue with a shoulder can affect a run. Some might wonder what a shoulder has to do with running. Isn’t all about your legs? If you’ve deviled into running form then you’d know that there is much more to running than just your legs.

The Christian Responsibility to the Oppressed
ByTim Nolte July 30, 2018
– These days there is a lot of talk about the less fortunate and especially the oppressed. It’s very clear from Scripture that as Christian’s we are to defend, and stand against the oppression that we see. To be clear, however, any stand that we make needs to follow biblical principles, not the rights that the world has made up. Unfortunately, following biblical principles is not how the world wants Christians to stand against oppression.

Christmas Eve 10K+ Training Run
ByTim Nolte December 24, 2018December 24, 2018
Enjoyed a run with some light snow falling. One challenge was that when I started things were clear, with no snow in the forecast, but a couple miles into the run the snow started and I noticed many slick spots on the sidewalk. And wouldn’t you know I had decided not to wear my cleats. I surprisingly still finished with a pretty solid average pace. I haven’t really ran in much for significant weather yet this winter. We’ll see what Minnesota brings to my runs next week while visiting family. I get a lot of comments about not “taking a break” from running. And I don’t discount the concern people may have that I’m pushing myself towards injury. The reality of it though is that…

It’s All About The Children
ByTim Nolte May 15, 2018May 15, 2018
We began day 3 at the World Hope offices of course. As we’ve hung out at the offices, and been driven to villages, we’ve had the opportunity to get to know many of the nationals that work for World Hope. It’s been a blessing to have people that are willing to be patient with us as we’ve tried to learn about the culture and learn to better communicate. We left the World Hope offices for a quick stop at the village of Bomballi Bana, where World Hope has been working since 2010. They worked with a church partner to assist with the development of the schools, church, and of course putting in a well. It was so awesome to see how well the students were…

Despite the outrageous things going on in the United States right now there are still things in our global world that haven’t changed, the need for clean water. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #RiverBankRun

A Little Less Hair And A Little More Speed
ByTim Nolte June 12, 2019June 12, 2019
This morning was a bonus #Endomondo training run day. According to the Endomondo marathon training plan I needed to do at least 5 days of running per week which meant adding Wednesdays as a running day instead of the #HWI training plan’s cross training day. I haven’t gone through to see how other things line up though I have my doubts much will actually line up. We’ll see what plan I end up following in the end. I spent some time thinking about, and praying for, the people in Sierra Leone, especially those that I encountered last year when I was there. The rainy season should have either started or should be starting. This always presents it’s own challenges. For many getting around during the…

Last Run Before My Surgery
ByTim Nolte May 23, 2019
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….
