Cold But Clear, A Better Day For Running

ByTim Nolte
4 Comments

Things melted off pretty well as the day went on yesterday, which made for much better running conditions today. During the faster part of the run I was able to maintain a 9-9:30 min/mile pace, which would have been near impossible yesterday. With the holiday weekend coming I’m not sure when I’ll be getting the rest of my runs in, especially given that Thursday is both Thanksgiving and a scheduled running day. I know there will be many Turkey Trot races/runs going on that day but my family has other plans so I won’t be making any of those this year.

As you think about being thankful and all the food we will enjoy this Thanksgiving considering making a donation for clean water which helps families and villages in Africa thrive. https://timn.me/HWI2022

    Sluggish Training Run But Thinking of ETC

    ByTim Nolte
    Another training run in the books. I could definitely feel the soreness in my legs from the half marathon still. I could also tell that some bad eating the previous few days was affecting how I was feeling while running. I really need to get back on track with things. I did enjoy another day of switching up my running routes. Alimamy, our Enable The Children sponsored child, was on my mind early in my run since we got our welcome packet the day before. I’m torn knowing that life for a disabled person in Sierra Leone is a drastically harder life compared to the U.S. I pray that God would continue to bring more light and opportunities to the children of #ETC. #HWI #GRMarathon…

    A Brutal Winter Run

    ByTim Nolte
    Wow, that is all I can say about the weather this morning on my run. Between the freezing rain pelting me, the massive wind gusts, and the snow-covered sidewalks that reduced my traction to almost zero, let’s just say I felt like I ran 12 miles not just shy of 6. I laugh because today was supposed to be an easy run day, and with that pace you might think I took it slow but that wasn’t really what went down. Mornings like this make it hard to focus on much else than the will power to keep going and get it done. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #RiverBankRun

    A Surprising Snowfall To Start Off A New Week Of Running

    ByTim Nolte
    Enjoyed another 5+ mile training run this morning, even with the light snowfall. Since the ground is pretty warm the sidewalks were nice and clear. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun Give to clean water: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr Even though the #RiverBankRun has been postponed to the fall I’m still sticking with the training plan that I’m working through for now. I haven’t signed up for any virtual races yet but I might so so. Let’s hope that the #COVID19 pandemic gets under control and more races don’t get cancelled into the summer months.
