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

    Having Your Bowels Cut Your Run Short

    ByTim Nolte
    Yeah, it’s not pleasant to talk about, but as a runner you generally are aware of the things that can happen while on a long run. And when you aren’t someplace where you can find a well placed #JohnnyBlue things get interesting real quick. I had to cut a couple of miles off my long…

    Beating The Urge To Go Back To Bed

    A little windy this morning but it made for a nice cool run. I didn’t feel like I slept very well so it was hard to get going this morning. The thought crossed my mind a couple of times to just skip the run today and go back to bed. I couldn’t get myself to…
