The Groundhog Marathon – Another Marathon In The Books
ByTim Nolte February 1, 2020
Despite the rough training I stuck it out and participated in another Groundhog Marathon. The first half went well, but the second half not so much. It was a challenge but I finished. It was a joy to represent #HWI and I had a lot of “Hope Water” shout-outs along the 2ay. #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus

Final Training Run Before The Groundhog Marathon
ByTim Nolte January 30, 2020January 30, 2020
Things were a bit off, and out of the normal, this morning. It actually started last night as I discovered that the #Endomondo service was apparently down, which meant I couldn’t load my training plan to see what my last run would be. Then this morning the Endomondo app on my phone wouldn’t even load right. Since my smartwatch came with #Strava built-in, and I’ve been syncing data there, I decided to give it a go on my run. It worked out well enough, except the watch and phone apps don’t talk to each other in real-time which meant I had no audio coaching and no real-time stats, including heart rate, pace, etc. Looking at my final stats I knocked the run out with flying…

Final Training Week Before The Groundhog Marathon
ByTim Nolte January 28, 2020
It was kind of strange to not have ran since last Thursday, and I always fear any sort of break is going to set my training back. Once I hit the pavement I was moving just as if I hadn’t taken a break. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus Right now the people of Sierra Leone are in the middle of the dry season. This is a tough time for those that don’t have access to clean water. Bring hope to the people of Sierra Leone by giving to clean water. https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr

Wrapping Up The Final Week Of Long Runs
ByTim Nolte January 22, 2020
This week starts the taper before the marathon. Didn’t have time to grab my own photo since nature was calling. Hopefully that’s not going to be a problem again for my morning runs. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGuss

11 Frosty Beard Miles
ByTim Nolte January 21, 2020
Today marks the last of my longer training runs as the taper begins before marathon day. The temp this morning was in the high teens which resulted in a pretty frosty beard. I ended up pushing things a little harder than the training plan called for, but I was trying to make it back home at a decent time. I ended up a bit slower the second half because I pushed things a bit harder than I should have, but that’s just the way it goes. I finished the last half mile strong though. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus Give clean water: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr

Completing An Easy Monday Recovery Run
ByTim Nolte January 20, 2020
Got out and tackled a 5+ mile run. I was happy to see the sidewalk plows had been out which made for nicer running conditions compared to Saturday. It was a good run just focusing on getting the miles in and not so much what my pace was. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus Give to clean water: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr
