Completing My 2nd Marathon, The Grand Rapids Marathon With Hope Water International

ByTim Nolte October 21, 2018October 21, 2018

I completed my 2nd marathon today, finishing with an average pace time of 1:01 better than last year. It was still a tough last 3-6 miles of the run, but I finished with a good run the last 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile. I took it a little easier on one of the last couple of miles to help out a fellow #HWI team member from the East Michigan group that was having a rough go of it. I needed the break too as my last 6 miles I was fighting off some calf cramps. Overall it was a great day and I finished much better this year than last. There were so many that came out to cheer us on it made a huge difference. #HWI #GRMarathon #Run4Water #WhyIRun

Back In The Groove After Some Recovery Time
ByTim Nolte June 3, 2019June 3, 2019
Had a great run this morning. Things started off slower but by miles 2 things speed up and I was in groove once again. However, that didn’t cause me to lose sight of keeping some of my running focusing on friends and family that are in need. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon

A Wet Thursday For Speed Work
ByTim Nolte June 13, 2019June 13, 2019
Today was a speed work day, and so it goes with those my mind was pretty much totally focused on my run and hitting the target paces. I did still have the worship music going so I was at least still able to connect with God that way. Even though it was a wet run…

Quick Lunch Break Run
ByTim Nolte January 9, 2019January 9, 2019
Due to having to work about 4 hours in the middle of the night I was in no condition to run this morning so I took my lunch break to get a short run in. It sort of felt like a Minnesota run, but I could tell it was much more wet/humid. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun
