Embracing The Winter Run

It may be getting colder and beginning to snow but it’s perfectly fine with me. I’m not sure if it’s the Minnesotan in me that allows me to continue with my running through the winter months, but I’m glad that I can stay active and not just stuck inside all winter. I enjoyed getting a report on all the wells our #HWI team helped raise money for last year. It’s pretty amazing to hear how much of an impact we are making. I look forward to seeing what this year’s fundraising will do. If I get a chance I will share a link to the report. #Run4Water #WhyIRun Donate to Clean Water – https://timn.me/2t9D4ne

Running Is My One On One Time

It’s still a little bit to get used to doing these longer “midweek” runs on a Monday instead of a Tuesday, but I think I’m getting into a groove with it. It’s nice to have a long “easy” run on a Monday where is can spend a lot of time listening to worship music, listening for God’s direction, and presenting the needs of friends and family to Him. I can honestly say that getting our for a morning run has not only been good for my physical health but it’s had a huge impact on my spiritual health as well. I do enjoy group runs but there is something to be said for having time where it’s just you, the pavement, and God. I spent…

Finishing Another Hot Cider Hustle

It was cold, wet, windy, and snowy for the #HotCiderHustle this morning, but it was fun to see a few #HWI teammates out on a Saturday morning. I didn’t bring home any medal but I still felt really good about my run given the ground conditions. I made sure to wear my pullover cleats which helped me avoid a lot of slipping and sliding while keeping up my pace.

Pushing Through An Intense Speed Test Run

Back at it again this morning. It was an intense short training test run. I was hoping to see a #5K #PR but that may have to wait until Saturday when I do the #HotCiderHustle 5K. I had just ran the night before so my body hadn’t really had a ton of recovery time. I’ll be looking forward to representing #HWI at the Hot Cider Hustle. It sounds like there will be a few of us out there. I always love having the opportunity to share to share about the mission when I where my Hope Water blue.

Doing A Night Run, Fast And Comfortable

I didn’t get out to run this morning on account of the my daughter keeping us up a lot the night before. The alarm went off and I was just so tired I need some sleep to make it through the day. I decided to get my run in tonight and i was glad I still got it in today. I didn’t spend much time thinking or “talking”, I just focused on listening to the worship music. It really felt great. It was supposed to be an easy, slower, run but it just ended up being a bit more of a faster comfortable run. I’m still seriously considering doing the #GroundhogDayMarathon coming this February. I’d love to be able to represent #HWI at that run,…
