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

ByTim Nolte January 9, 2023January 9, 2023

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. #HWI #Run4Water #GroundhogMarathon #Garmin #Running

Getting In Some Miles Early On A Wet Wednesday
ByTim Nolte November 27, 2019
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…

Picking Up The Pace With The Snow Cleared
ByTim Nolte January 24, 2019January 24, 2019
With things warming up yesterday the roads and sidewalks got cleared pretty well. I was able to hit my interval training run paces quite easily. Looking back on the tough training week, I think it was actually a good thing in terms of getting an extra hard without to prepare me for today. I only have a couple of runs left in the training plan before the marathon next week, then it’ll be on to the #RBR 25K training. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun

Healing Negative Emotions: Day 1
ByTim Nolte September 13, 2018September 13, 2018
Just because you “feel” an emotion does not mean the thought behind it is true. Therefore, to glorify the Lord with your actions, ensure that your emotions are based upon the truth in God’s word. – Healing Negative Emotions

Getting My Butt Out Of Bed And Hitting The Pavement
ByTim Nolte June 14, 2018
Another one of those mornings that took some extra effort to get it of bed and get out the door. I really had to fight with myself to not just go back to bed. Always feel even better when I finish a run knowing that I overcame the desire to just stay in bed. It becomes an easier decision when you think about giving up a little extra sleep for the cause of bringing people clean water. #HWI #HessLakeRun #GRMarathon #Run4Water

5K+ Christmas Morning Training Run
ByTim Nolte December 25, 2018
After opening presents with the kids, and helping them get their gifts ready to play with, I headed out for a short Christmas run. I pushed it a bit as I wanted to make sure I wasn’t gone from the family too long. The kids were up before 5am this morning so it was good that I didn’t chance it and try to hey my run in before they woke up. I’m thankful for how God has blessed our family. I’m looking forward to more of a joy filled day. I pray that no matter what the situation any of us are facing this Christmas that we can all still have joy and thankfulness for the greatest gift we have received in Jesus Christ. #HWI…

A 5 Mile Training Run In The Face Of A Challenging World
ByTim Nolte March 30, 2020
As I ran this morning I couldn’t help but think about the impact that #COVID19 is having on our world and not just with those infected, having died, or those secluding themselves bin protection. There is the global economic impact that I fear will also impact giving to those that have been in need. When there is a huge need for support of those that have lost there jobs right around you it seems challenging to be asking for money to send overseas for wells. The world challenges of poverty and access to clean water didn’t go away when the virus hit, those needs are still very much there and now more needs have been added on top. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun
