Joining The Hope Water Team Again

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.

    Another Thursday morning training run in the books with my running partner. I look forward to our Thursday runs and catching up on each others’ lives.

    Cold And Wet Fall 5 Miles

    ByTim Nolte
    It was a cold, wet, windy morning for a training run. I couldn’t really focus on much other than to just keep pushing forward. The rain did get me thinking about whether it was the rainy season still in Sierra Leone, and how Alimamy and his mother were managing. #HWI #GRMarathon #Run4Water #WhyIRun

    Last Run Before My Surgery

    ByTim Nolte
    When I got up this morning to thunder, lightning, and down pouring rain, I decided to wait until this evening to get my last run in before my surgery. As it normally goes, running in the evening is always harder for me. I can usually feel my supper, or what I’ve been eating that day,…

  • Mind Over Matter on a Monday

    ByTim Nolte
    This morning was one of those where I had to make the choice of whether I was going to actually get out and run or go back to bed. I was pretty sore after spending most of the weekend building a shed. I managed to get out there and knock out a 10K. #HWI #Run4Water…
