Kicking Off The 2023 GR Marathon Training

Today was the second of the new training plan, after a quick and short baseline run yesterday, as I prepare for another this fall. I won’t be able to train much at all with the team but I’m still planning on joining them on race day. I may not be as fast as I once was but I haven’t given up on just yet.

Cold And Wet Fall 5 Miles

It was a cold, wet, windy morning for a training run. I couldn’t really focus on much other than to just keep pushing forward. The rain did get me thinking about whether it was the rainy season still in Sierra Leone, and how Alimamy and his mother were managing. #HWI #GRMarathon #Run4Water #WhyIRun

Getting In Some Miles Early On A Wet Wednesday

ByTim Nolte
As I was running in the rain this morning it got me thinking about the hardship that the rainy season causes for many in Sierra Leone. Like those that work for Enable The Children, the children with disabilities ministry, and those that #ETC supports. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun It’s crazy to think that something like rain, which should be a blessing to a people in desperate need of clean water, could cause hardship. For many though, the rainy season makes it challenging to get around and do things like sell their goods at the market. A well also brings safety during the rainy season both from a health standpoint as well as from the risks of trying to gather water from moving water like streams. Help…

Challenging Road To Water

ByTim Nolte
For many even the road to a dirty water source is a treacherous one. A well placed well brings both clean water, and safety, to a village in Africa. I’m still looking for some additional partners to commit to the final $255 of my goal. Will you be that partner? https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon In the village of Ronkorhun they must travel over a rickety bridge, during the rainy season when the creek is flowing, to get to a hole in the ground where they collect their water. Can you imagine risking your safety to get water that can make you sick? That’s the situation many of those in Afeica are in. This morning was another speed work morning. On top of that I…

Doing The Long Winter Run

ByTim Nolte
Got in good long run in this morning, with the help of my running partner. I was thankful to not have to do the whole 18 miles alone. It felt good to know that even in the winter I can do that long of a run. The last couple of miles was a push, but I was also about out of water, so that didn’t help matters. Looking forward to more winter runs in the future. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus

Another Late Night Long Run, 7 Miles in the Wisconsin Dells

It wasn’t any sort of stellar pace but I managed to finish without walking. This was a pretty hilly run so I feel good about managing the challenging run both for endurance and difficulty. #HWI #KCC #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRHalfMarathon #RiverBankRun

Running…My Physical And Spiritual Race

ByTim Nolte
No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us. – Philippians 3:13‭-‬14 NLT As I’ve entered into day 3 of my 5K training, more like day 2 but I’m sticking with the schedule, this verse reminds me that there is more beyond just the physical race that I’m preparing for. It’s easy for us to lose sight of how God is working in our lives, especially with how crazy our world is getting. I’m thankful for these reminders and the hope I have in…
