Being Thankful For My Health, And Focusing On Others

ByTim Nolte

This morning I got myself to a place where I could honestly see that I was letting myself get wrapped up in my own pity party. I was losing sight of the opportunity to be thankful for my health and be focusing on those less fortunate. The big question came to mind of why I am running. Am I running for myself? Are my runs all about how far or fast I can run?

It seems pretty obvious that I got myself far from where I should be. I turned things around this morning and spent some time in praise for how God has blessed me, and especially spent time lifting friends and family up in prayer that have bigger needs than me.

    Every day is a new day, a chance to start again. While in the past my running focused a lot on trying to get faster, and hit another PR, this year feels like it’s it’s going to be a bit more of a reset and restoration year. #HWI #RiverBankRun #Run4Water #WhyIRun

  • Final Training Run

    ByTim Nolte
    A day late on posting this. Better late than never, right? It’s hard to imagine that I’m only a couple of days away from the marathon. I so appreciate this guy training with me these past many weeks. Looking forward to hitting the next milestone and crossing the finish line together.

    ByTim Nolte
    Getting in my 3 miles before we head out for another week of camping. Even though I got out later than normal it was still surprisingly not too hot. Next few runs will be in the Wisconsin Dells. #HWI #KCC #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRHalfMarathon #RiverBankRun
