Knocking Out Another Thursday 3 Mile Training Run For Clean Water

ByTim Nolte June 10, 2021June 10, 2021

Sometimes, even when you’ve tried to resist it, you fall into old running habits. I’ll expand on that later if you keep reading. We can so easily take water for granted. #Run4Water #WhyIRun #HWI #KCC #GRHalfMarathon

All across America people water their lawns to make them green, fill their giant pools to cool off and enjoy a swim, and a number of other easily wasteful uses of water. We forget how privileged we are compared to many who have to walk miles just to get a drink of water, and often dirty water. We can use our privilege to make a difference around the world to bring clean water to those in need.

Today was supposed to be an easy run. Even though I no longer have pace feedback turned on, I’ve run enough to know how I might be doing just based on how long it’s taken me to go a distance. I know I was pushing things too hard based on my heart rate. I was feeling OK so I figured pushing it harder was OK, and justified it due to my challenging Tuesday run.

Kicking Off The Week With A Nice Run
ByTim Nolte January 14, 2019January 14, 2019
This morning was one of those slow to get out of bed mornings. Once I got out and started breathing in some fresh crisp morning air I was awake and ready to roll. Especially after hitting play on the workout worship music. The first half of my run was time to just enjoy the worship music, the second half of my run I spent a lot of time in prayer. The combination of prayer, worship, and running it’s kind of a trifecta for me. I’m blessed that God had bought me to this place. And to top that all off I can use my running to have a global reach in helping bring clean water to those in need. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus Donate to…

A Hard 5 Mile Tempo Run That Fell Off The Rails
ByTim Nolte August 24, 2021August 24, 2021
Let’s just say that regardless of how tired I was yesterday morning I shouldn’t have let the Friday race allow me to think that I would be OK with not getting my Monday 4 miles in. #HWI #KCC #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRHalfMarathon #RiverBankRun

Solid Pace For An Off Morning
ByTim Nolte February 14, 2019February 14, 2019
It was hard to get going this morning. I was so out of it that initially I forgot my water after walking out the door. I also forgot to turn on my heart rate monitor, and even more I totally forgot to put on my running goggles. Despite all of that I did still ended up having a great run. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #RiverBankRun

The Keyword is “Since” Not “If”
ByTim Nolte January 21, 2018
As a follow up to my previous post it’s important that we remember that everything we are called to do as a Christ follower is in the context of “since” and not “if”. What’s the difference? If we have the thinking, “if someone is doing ‘x’, or not doing ‘y’, they can’t be a believer”, we are basically inferring that someone has no faith or belief in Christ because of their actions. That’s a pretty big leap, and a sure fire way to further the view that Christians are righteous, judgemental, hippacrits, essentially modern day Pharisees. As we dig into the New Testament we’ll find it’s very clear that as a result of being, or “since” we are, Christ followers there should be a lot…

First Recovery Walk
ByTim Nolte May 27, 2019
I’ll be honest, this morning was a hard place to be. I should be thankful that I was able to get out the door and get some steps in. It was just hard to enjoy a 50 minute walk when you’re coming from a normal pace of 3x the distance in that time. I know I’ll get back there over time. Hopefully I can start to enjoy the slow down. #HWI #RecoveryWalk
