Back At It With The Daybreak Group Runs

ByTim Nolte March 11, 2017March 11, 2017

My phone died and my watch powered off at around the 5 mile mark. I ended up doing 7.5 miles by the finish. This was my longest run to date. I’m feeling a little more comfortable with the idea of doing the half marathon in the fall.

A Tough Thursday Interval Run
ByTim Nolte January 2, 2020
When you don’t get a good night’s rest it definitely has an impact on your running. This morning was especially touch trying to keep up with the fast interval paces. Trying to make my way through the snowy sidewalks didn’t help matters either. My running struggles pale in comparison to the struggles many face each day with finding water, and usually it’s not clean. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus Help provide clean water. https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr

A Training Run Of Reflection
ByTim Nolte December 26, 2018December 26, 2018
This morning was not only filled with worship time but also some time of reflecting on the holiday and the joy of celebrating with family the birth of our Savior. I’m thankful for the day we had to put all of the challenges of recent days, weeks, and months aside and enjoy time together with family. The New Year is upon us and, as it approaches, I pray that God would continue to guide our family in fulfilling his plan. I also spent time thinking about the next Sierra Leone trip coming May, and the team God is putting together. I’m excited to see what He has in store. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus Donate to Clean Water – https://timn.me/2t9D4ne

Most Africans only have the choice to drink water that will kill them or not drink water and die from dehydration.

Finishing The 2018 Grand Rapids Marathon Training
ByTim Nolte October 18, 2018October 18, 2018
Last training run with my running partner before the big race on Sunday. Seems like nothing to run a couple of miles for training. It was a crisp morning that is for sure but it felt like a good prequel to the marathon day temperature. #HWI #GRMarathon #Run4Water Donate to Water – https://timn.me/2t9D4ne

A Little Bit of Hill Training
ByTim Nolte July 1, 2019
I haven’t run into a race course yet that didn’t have some hills. When you are training it’s important to do some hill training if you don’t want to get caught off guard with hills during your race. Between sidewalks and paved trails, we are pretty blessed with the conditions we have to run in. In stark contrast, for most in #SierraLeone the road to water is dangerous. When a well is put in a village it brings the water to a safe place for all. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon Donate to Wells in Africa: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr

Expanding The Meaning Of Running For Water
ByTim Nolte April 23, 2020April 23, 2020
So this morning, after making it about a quarter of a mile from home, I realized I had forgotten to grab my water when I walked out the door. At that point I really didn’t feel like going back home and starting my run over. The first half of the run was OK, but the second half was a bit more of a struggle without my water, making my #Run4Water mean even more than normal. As I continued through my run, #WhyIRun was at the forefront of my mind. My struggle doesn’t even compare to the daily struggle for clean water that those in Sierra Leone, Africa face. I had the benefit of a virtually unlimited supply of water waiting for me after the run….
