Final Week Before Marathon Day

ByTim Nolte

I hit my $1000 fundraising goal but there are many other team members still working to reach their goals. Partner with and help bring clean water to those in need. https://www.hopewaterinternational.org/teams/49

There are only 5 more days before the Grand Rapids Marathon, which will be my 4th marathon. This week the number of runs is winding down, with only a short interval run this morning. I’ll do another short easy run on Thursday. It’s hard to believe that the marathon is this week already. No matter how much I train I always still feel a little nervous going into a race. There are many on the team where this will be their first full or half marathon, and the good thing is we have a whole team to support each other and see us cross that finish line.

    ByTim Nolte
    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…
