DNF 14 Miles, Winter Won Today

ByTim Nolte

Some days you have a hard run, then there are some days where your it’s just brutal. Today the deep coat of fresh snow got the better of me.

I was even doing my best just stick with my training plan running pace of 11:01/mi, but that wasn’t enough to get me through it. After 10 miles I just need to rest, which was only 2.5 miles after I had started up again running with the Hope Water team for maybe a mile before we parted ways. It’s tough having a day like to day knowing that in 2 weeks I’m supposed to be running a marathon (26.2 miles for those that don’t know).

    Final Training Run Before The Groundhog Marathon

    ByTim Nolte
    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…
