Getting Back On The Saddle, With A New App In Tow
ByTim Nolte November 5, 2020November 5, 2020
After taking a couple of weeks off, after my virtual half marathon, I’m trying to get back into a regular running routine again. Unfortunately, the running app that I’ve been using since I started running is being retired in favor of another app. Now I’ve for a whole new setup that I need to get used to.

Completing My 2020 Virtual Grand Rapids Half Marathon
ByTim Nolte October 17, 2020
To be honest, this morning didn’t feel like marathon day. It pretty much felt like any other morning I get up while it’s still dark, and everyone else is asleep, to go for a run. #GRMarathon #Run4Water #HWI This year has been a challenging one for running, and races, that is for sure. Most races were cancelled, postponed, or changed to virtual. My training has been all on my own, and when the pandemic hit I stopped sharing all of my runs on social media. Life wasn’t “business as usual” and I really couldn’t maintain a facade like it was.

Virtual 5K Group Run For Clean Water
ByTim Nolte May 31, 2020May 31, 2020
Yesterday, was the #HWI annual 5K group run, though this year it was “virtual” since we can’t gather yet. It’s definitely not the same to just gather for a video call and then run on your own. Missing hearing the bells ring as I cross the finish line. Looking forward to the day when we can gather again. #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon #RiverBankRun Give to clean water: https://timn.me/2020HWI
