Dragging Myself Out of Bed for an Early Morning Interval Run

ByTim Nolte

I really need to get myself to bed earlier. I’m inherently a night person so it makes getting to bed early and being ready to go for early run challenging. Despite another overwhelming desire to go back to bed I got my run done.

    Kicking It Into High Great After A Day Of Rest

    ByTim Nolte
    After taking the previous day off due to lack of sleep I was more than ready to go this morning. So much so that I was pretty much in a comfortable high gear for most of the run. It helps to be rockin’ the worship music right along with my run. I have to give credit to those longer hard speed work training days too. I’m still looking for a few more people that might consider donating to wells in Africa as the year comes to an end and Christmas approaches. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus Donate to Water – https://timn.me/2t9D4ne

    Celebrating A Good Run And Thankful For The Tough Ones

    ByTim Nolte
    When you have a good training run you can celebrate by looking back on those tough days that got you there. The tough days remind you why you are doing it. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus Celebrate the New Year with the gift of clean water. https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr It’s the hard days that help you grow and get better, that are going to get you through to the end of a marathon race. Despite how hard they may be at the time, they bring balance to your training. Without the hard days we have less to celebrate on the good days.

    A Run Focusing On The Physical Needs Of Others

    ByTim Nolte
    Had a sluggish start this morning, but I pushed myself and got things improved my the end of my run. I did miss most of the rain, just got caught in some sprinkles during the last quarter mile. Most of my focus though was on those I know that have physical needs, including our Enable The Children sponsored child. It seems that the physical needs in our world almost match that of the spiritual need. And yet we see time and again that God uses those physical needs to bring people into relationship with Him. Most of need a jolt every now and then to help us remember what’s most important in this life here. #HWI #ETC #EnableTheChildren #GRMarathon #Run4Water #WhyIRun

    9.4 Mile Combo Training Plan Run, With Some Rain On The Side

    ByTim Nolte
    Today was another combo plan training run, #Endomodo distance and #HWI pace. Does that surprise anyone? Ha. It was nice to have things a bit warmer given the wind and rain. I don’t feel as soaked as yesterday but early in my run I felt like I was headed into a hurricane, especially when you see the rain moving horizontally. After making through the first half of my run I spent the 2nd half praying for the village of #Ronkorhun and the church that is supporting them. I also thought about all those from the #HlWI team that have incurred some sort of injury that is now preventing them from running. Lastly, my thoughts turned to my sister’s new family addition PJ, who was just…

    Struggling Through Another Round Of Speed Work

    ByTim Nolte
    Another speed work training run to kick my butt this morning. I pretty much struggled to keep up with the fast 7:27 min/mile pace I was supposed to be maintaining for 4 minute intervals. We’ll see how this winter training goes. I have a feeling it’s going to be challenging to get through speed work once the snow falls. I have a hard time with the idea of having to do my speed work on the treadmill, but I guess I can’t rule it out. Given the intensity of the run this morning, other than asking God to get me through another 4 minute interval, my prayer time was pretty much nil. Not exactly how I prefer my runs to go. This is definitely something…
