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 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 right. Since my smartwatch came with built-in, and I’ve been syncing data there, I decided to give it a go on my run. It worked out well enough, except the watch and phone apps don’t talk to each other in real-time which meant I had no audio coaching and no real-time stats, including heart rate, pace, etc. Looking at my final stats I knocked the run out with flying colors, which maybe says more that I don’t need to rely on all the feedback when I’m running. Perhaps I’ve run long enough that I can just run to run.

This Saturday I’ll be wearing my Hope Water blue at the Groundhog Marathon as I continue to spread the word about the need for clean water. Will you partner with me to bring clean water to Africa? https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr

    ByTim Nolte
    After a couple of weeks of tough interval runs I finally nailed one pretty well. I think my take away is that when it comes to training, as with much in life, you are going to have hard days that you can barely get through. Those are the days you have to have in order…

    Stepping Up The Long Run Miles

    ByTim Nolte
    On Saturday I was up at 4:15am to get my 11 miles in before family time. It felt good to get a longer run in and not be so concerned about my pace, though I did have a time limit so that is always an additional motivator. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #RiverBankRun Will you commit to…

    Running For Wells In Africa Means Lives Are Changed

    ByTim Nolte
    While I have been involved with Hope Water International, I have seen first hand the lives that are changed. Obviously, being able to travel to Sierra Leone Africa I saw what kind of life change can occur for people there. However, the other place that lives are changed are right here within the #HWI Team….
