Monday Morning Speed Work, And It Didn’t Kick My Butt

ByTim Nolte

I adjusted my training plan a little so today ended up being a speed workout instead of a recovery run. I managed it well enough though, without feeling like the run kicked my butt. Let’s hope that I can continue to get myself ready for the upcoming half marathon.

    Having Choices And Choosing To Run

    ByTim Nolte
    Every day most of us, in the U.S. especially, have a dozen choices we can make. I had the choice to either get up at 4:30 am and run or stay in bed and sleep. Not to minimize those that do have some tough decisions to make, but in the big picture most of us have pretty easy decisions, compared to those in Sierra Leone. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus

I have always struggled with my weight and living a more healthy lifestyle. I attribute my success primarily to my wife, and also to the encouragement of many friends and family.

    First Long Run Of The New Year

    ByTim Nolte
    I’m thankful for the nice weather this evening, and for making it back safely from Minnesota, to get my long run in tonight. It was a tough one doing it at night and all alone. You don’t realize how many miles a running partner gets you through without you even feeling it until you don’t have one on those long runs. I’m looking forward to getting back to a normal routine again. Not that I’m happy with just the status quo, but being back in a controlled environment where it’s easier to stick to the good habits and resist the bad ones. I’m looking forward to what the new year holds for me both in my running and every other area of my life. #HWI…
