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

    Seeing, And Meeting, The Needs of Others

    ByTim Nolte Updated on
    Responding to the Needs of Others Around You I have, at times, been cognizant of the needs of those I’ve been in connection with. Most often the help has come by way of financial assistance. There have been other times that non-financial needs have arose and I’ve responded, but those times seem to have been in the minority. Being Intentional About Seeing, And Meeting, The Needs of Those Around Us We are called to not only help our brothers and sisters in Christ, but to help all those in need around us. I’m reminded of the book the 10 Second Rule. There are so many needs all around us. How often do we simply turn a blind eye all because of our own selfish desires?…

    Monday Morning Recovery Run

    ByTim Nolte
    What started out being a pretty easy going run turned out to be much faster than I had expected. I was checking my heart rate the whole time and only once did it rise just a hair past 150. My pace just ended up being what it was based on how I ended up doing with my heart rate. What’s encouraging to me is to see what appears to be my heart health getting better. I feel God has definitely blessed me through my running. Honestly, one of the big helpers with my runs is listening to a worship workout album. There are moments when I am so focused on the song that I forget about the running. I did take some time this morning…

    Making A Way For Education Through Clean Water

    ByTim Nolte Updated on
    All it will take is 20 people to each give $12.75 from now until the #GRMarathon day to hit my goal and bring another 19 people clean water. https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun What we do today has an impact on the future of the generations to come. Bringing clean water to a village in Africa can mean the difference between their children having an education or not. Clean water has long lasting effects that will change the world. What better way to invest in the future generations. Even though my training plan called for an easy run I took the short distance as an opportunity to push myself. I could definitely feel the warmer temperature this morning. Needless to say, it took me awhile to…

    Back In The High [Intensity] Life Again

    ByTim Nolte
    After a brief hiatus on Tuesday, no thanks to a cold and a bad nights rest, I was back out for my early morning run. I really had my butt kicked with a high intensity interval run. I think my only slight advantage was have a previous week of out of the park fast runs. I could sure tell that I had missed a day of running though. Regardless of how tough it might have been it still felt good to be back out running. On Tuesday when I didn’t get out for my run the whole day seemed off. I’m not sure how I’m going to get my Saturday run in with being out of town in a trip to Chicago. We’ll see. #HWI…

    Hitting The Training Run Hard

    ByTim Nolte
    Today was a short assessment training run, basically 12 minutes of giving it all you’ve got. It’s preceded by, and follows, a 5 minute warmup & cool down run respectively. I did an out-and-back while giving myself some distance for a final cool down walk to home. We’ll see what this means for my final target pace for the Groundhog Marathon. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus I’m looking forward to representing Hope Water at the Groundhog Marathon again. My hope is to keep on target with the pace my training plan estimated and to complete it without having to walk. However, I’ve also considered intentionally doing walk/run intervals to ensure that overall I finish with a good time. We’ll see where I land. Give water, give…
