Joining The Hope Water Team Again

Donate to Clean Water in Africa: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr

This morning started off with waking up at 3:45am in order to get to Johnson Park by 4:30am. Doing 15 miles I needed to make sure I could get my run wrapped up by the time the HWI Team met at 7am. I got done with plenty of time to hang out with the team before things got started.

Things turned out way better than the previous week’s run. On top of that I pretty much got in a consistent pace for the entire run which is pretty unheard of for me. It sounded like many had a rough last week. When the miles start creeping up things move to another level and your body is going to get stretched out of it’s comfort zone. In order to hit that half or full marathon mark this is exactly what you should expect. In 8 more weeks a bunch of the HWI Team will be hitting milestone firsts. Those of us veterans need to remember to come alongside the first timers and give them the support and encouragement they need to cross that finish line.

    I’ll be honest, this morning was a hard place to be. I should be thankful that I was able to get out the door and get some steps in. It was just hard to enjoy a 50 minute walk when you’re coming from a normal pace of 3x the distance in that time. I know…

    First Ice Beard Of The Winter

    Despite the stormy winter weather I was able to make some decent time. Having cleats that go over my running shoes is a huge help with any sort of snow and ice I encounter. The real problem was having my running glasses getting fogged up so often from the cold wind. I enjoyed some worship…

    “Official” River Bank Run 25K Training Start

    This week starts the official #RiverBankRun 25K training plan, though I started a week early with my training plan. I’m not signed up for any other races before the RBR so far, and with #COVID19 still going strong I don’t see that changing anytime soon. #HWI #Run4Water #SocialDistanceRunner

    My First Big Race, Fifth Third Riverbank Run

    Today wasn’t my 1st race but it was the first big race with a lot of excitement and energy. I had the pleasure of running with a HWI Team Daybreak member, Scott Woody. We finished in excellent time given it was a first 10k race for both of us. I know that today was nothing…
