A Wet Thursday For Speed Work

ByTim Nolte June 13, 2019June 13, 2019

Today was a speed work day, and so it goes with those my mind was pretty much totally focused on my run and hitting the target paces. I did still have the worship music going so I was at least still able to connect with God that way. Even though it was a wet run it did help to keep me cool, especially on the intense intervals. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon

Running To The Beat
ByTim Nolte January 17, 2019January 17, 2019
Nothing too spectacular about my run this morning. Tried sticking to the interval paces as best I could. I did pretty good but I know I didn’t slow down quite enough given that I should have gotten 9.2 miles in but it ended up being 9.65. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus

Day 6 done, and even got a better time and little bit of extra distance in. Looking forward to what the rest of the day is going to bring. #hwi #sierraleone

Having Choices And Choosing To Run
ByTim Nolte December 4, 2019December 4, 2019
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

Tackling The Ice Mounds, An Endurance Test
ByTim Nolte December 3, 2019
It was a tough go of it this morning tackling the ice mounds left behind by the snow plows. Winter running is not the time to be working on speed that is for sure. Many times I had to take to running on the snow covered grassy areas in order not to trip and fall. I should stress here the importance of wearing proper footwear when running in the winter, and that means wearing some sort of cleats. There would have been no way I would have escaped some sort of injury if it hadn’t been for my cleats. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus Help Provide Clean Water: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr

3rd 5K, Tough Morning…Inclines
ByTim Nolte January 12, 2017February 6, 2017 Updated onFebruary 6, 2017
This morning felt like a pretty big challenge. It being my 3rd 5K this week I just felt off from the start. After looking at my distance climbed I think I understand why today felt like so much of a struggle, I had about 90 feet of incline then my last 2 5Ks. Looks like the machine decided to take things up a notch today. I’m not unhappy with my pace. It just feels like I took a step back from the start of the week. I think my body is still recovering from lack of sleep since I was up way late the night before last. I hope it’ll work to make it to a HWP group run soon.
