Finished Another 5.43mi Run Today

ByTim Nolte February 18, 2021February 18, 2021

I headed back outside as the temperatures rose and the snow subsided. Even though the temperature was still in the teens there was no wind so it made for decent running conditions. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #RiverBankRun

I almost didn’t make it out, opting to just go back to bed and rethink my whole running plan/schedule. I found out the day before that the race that the River Bank Run, scheduled for this Spring, had been postponed until the Fall due to #COVID19

I find myself in the exact same situation as the year before. The River Bank Run has been scheduled for 6 days after the Grand Rapids Marathon, and this means that I’m going to need to most likely change my full marathon to a half if I’m still going to do both. I’m not looking forward to another season of mostly virtual races or no races at all.

It was a real struggle to do 10 miles this morning after coming down with a cold and missing a training run. The first half was pretty good but the second half was a big push. I only got caught in a little bit of rain at the 7 mile mark so it was actually…

Feeling Very Out of Shape on My Long Run
ByTim Nolte December 19, 2020December 19, 2020
After getting through about half of my run in this morning I could tell that the second half was going to be a struggle. Over the past year, even though I haven’t stopped running, my running wasn’t always as consistent and my diet has been all over the map. These two things of course have…

Getting The Saturday Long Run Done
ByTim Nolte April 13, 2019
We all have those off days, for me today was one of those. The second half of my run was more challenging than last week. Given I PR’d for a half marathon I was surprised by today. I really can’t complain, I was supposed to be running a 9:40 min/mi pace. So in reality I…
