5 Wintery Miles For Clean Water

ByTim Nolte December 2, 2019

Even though it is now considered the “off season” for the West Michigan #HWI team, the need for clean water hasn’t been completely met. Thanks to the work of the team this past year many thousands more will have access to clean water, but the harsh reality is that there are still thousands more that will still not have access to clean water. This is another reason why I feel compelled to keep running, even through the winter months, to continue to bring awareness to the huge need that is still before us. I would love to see people step into this Christmas season with a heart to make a global and lifelong impact and give the gift of clean water. #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus

The piles of snow that remained on the sidewalks, in some places, made for a challenging run at times. If I hadn’t slowed down and taken my time going through some of those spots I would have surly taken a dive. Fortunately, I made sure to run safe instead fast this morning.

Having Choices And Choosing To Run
ByTim Nolte December 4, 2019December 4, 2019
Every day most of us, in the U.S. especially, have a dozen choices we can make. I had the choice to either get up at 4:30 am and run or stay in bed and sleep. Not to minimize those that do have some tough decisions to make, but in the big picture most of us…

What Difference Does A Drilled Well Make?
ByTim Nolte July 25, 2019July 25, 2019
Something that may not really be understood when people hear that #HWI helps to put in wells in Africa. The wells that Hope Water International partners with #WorldHope are drilled wells. These wells go down deep to clean water, and they overcome the challenges of the dry season. During the dry season the hand dug…

Running For Wells In Africa Means Lives Are Changed
ByTim Nolte July 15, 2019July 15, 2019
While I have been involved with Hope Water International, I have seen first hand the lives that are changed. Obviously, being able to travel to Sierra Leone Africa I saw what kind of life change can occur for people there. However, the other place that lives are changed are right here within the #HWI Team….

Time For New Shoes
ByTim Nolte March 11, 2017
I’ve been running on these old shoes for some time. They’ve gotten pretty badly worn and it was high time I get new ones before I injured myself. Looking forward to my first run in them. A little bird (i.e. my wife) told me that a couple HWP Team Daybreak members have these shoes…

Knocking Out The Crispy Tuesday Run
ByTim Nolte December 18, 2018December 18, 2018
It was a crisp morning so starting out I was a tad chilly but after getting in about a mile a warmed up. That’s one of the upsides of winter running, there is a lot of motivation to keep running. When you slow down you can get cold pretty quickly. On the flip side, summer…

A Little Bit of Hill Training
ByTim Nolte July 1, 2019
I haven’t run into a race course yet that didn’t have some hills. When you are training it’s important to do some hill training if you don’t want to get caught off guard with hills during your race. Between sidewalks and paved trails, we are pretty blessed with the conditions we have to run in….
