A Brutal Winter Run

ByTim Nolte

Wow, that is all I can say about the weather this morning on my run. Between the freezing rain pelting me, the massive wind gusts, and the snow-covered sidewalks that reduced my traction to almost zero, let’s just say I felt like I ran 12 miles not just shy of 6. I laugh because today was supposed to be an easy run day, and with that pace you might think I took it slow but that wasn’t really what went down. Mornings like this make it hard to focus on much else than the will power to keep going and get it done.

    Tackling The 25K Training Speed Work

    ByTim Nolte
    The weather this morning was definitely more like Spring. I was on par to start but by the last couple of intervals I was losing steam. Still had a decent overall pace. I enjoyed the time to just be outside and have some quiet to think. #HWI #WhyIRun #Run4Water #RiverBankRun

    10 More Miles And 2 Years Ago

    ByTim Nolte
    It was great weather for a 10 miles run this morning. As I finished things up I was reminded that just 2 years ago I was blessed to be hanging out with a bunch of children in Sierra Leone. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon #RiverBankRun I had hoped to return there last year but things didn’t…
