Just Another Picture of Me, But That’s Not #WhyIRun

ByTim Nolte January 28, 2021January 28, 2021

For awhile the running pictures have been of me followed by my thoughts about my running. What has been lost quite a bit is the the focus on running to bring clean water to Africa. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #RiverBankRun

Help bring clean water to the world: https://timn.me/2020HWI

For a long time I quit including my run pace with my finishing photo, and that was to take the potential focus off how well I was running, to try and keep the focus on running for clean water. The new running app doesn’t give me that opinion anymore which is probably fine as my running speed isn’t so great these days.

I also used to use pictures taken from my trip to Sierra Leone, Africa and that was for sure a way to keep the focus on clean water and try keep the focus off of my running. I’ve gotten quite far from that the past year. I’ll blame the pandemic, a little, but I know that pandemic or not I can still let my focus remaining on bringing awareness to people of the great need for clean water.

Back At It, Starting The Riverbank Run Training
ByTim Nolte February 10, 2020
I took about a week break for recovery after the Groundhog Marathon. Normally I’d start a reverse training following a marathon, but with only 3 months to go before the Riverbank Run I really couldn’t afford the time in order to get a good amount of training in. With some new shoes, and a fresh…

Struggling Through Another Round Of Speed Work
ByTim Nolte November 15, 2018
Another speed work training run to kick my butt this morning. I pretty much struggled to keep up with the fast 7:27 min/mile pace I was supposed to be maintaining for 4 minute intervals. We’ll see how this winter training goes. I have a feeling it’s going to be challenging to get through speed work…

Tackling The Ice Mounds, An Endurance Test
ByTim Nolte December 3, 2019
It was a tough go of it this morning tackling the ice mounds left behind by the snow plows. Winter running is not the time to be working on speed that is for sure. Many times I had to take to running on the snow covered grassy areas in order not to trip and fall….
