First Marathon - Infographic — The dos and don’ts of running your first marathon – Jon Ware

While I’m not actually training for a marathon right now, as my first actual race is to be the Fifth Third River Bank Run 5K, I think this is good stuff to start thinking about. I am looking to do the Grand Rapids Half Marathon in the Fall and I will need to work on a lot of these points.

Praying For Rain And Wells In Sierra Leone
ByTim Nolte June 19, 2018June 19, 2018
As I felt the light rain coming down as I ran I couldn’t help but think of #SierraLeone and the long drive season they, putting a strain on water supplies. I especially thought of the village of #Ronkorhun and their struggles for water. I continue to pray for the rains needed to grow their crops…

Finished Another 4.83mi Interval Training, Run Today

Sometimes, even when you’ve tried to resist it, you fall into old running habits. I’ll expand on that later if you keep reading. We can so easily take water for granted. #Run4Water #WhyIRun #HWI #KCC #GRHalfMarathon

Knocking Out A Hot 18 Miles
ByTim Nolte September 15, 2018September 15, 2018
Knocked out a long 18 miles with my running partner this morning. Glad to have someone to help keep me going. “If you want to run fast, run alone. If you want to run far, run in community.” The second half of the run was hot out in that sun. #HWI #GRMarathon #Run4Water

A Brutal Winter Run
ByTim Nolte February 12, 2019February 12, 2019
Wow, that is all I can say about the weather this morning on my run. Between the freezing rain pelting me, the massive wind gusts, and the snow-covered sidewalks that reduced my traction to almost zero, let’s just say I felt like I ran 12 miles not just shy of 6. I laugh because today…
