Why Do I Run? No, Really, Why Do I Run?

ByTim Nolte

For some time now I’ve struggled with continuing to post my runs. I used to tell myself that I was trying to bring awareness to the need for clean water in the world, especially to our brothers and sisters in Sierra Leone, Africa. I feel like in the last few months I’ve lost sight of that, or if I’m really honest, it’s because I don’t think anyone else cares about that anymore.

everything that has been going on with the pandemic, and now with the needed focus on racial injustice, I feel like people have forgotten about all the needs that existed before. The needs in our world are so many and we can’t all focus on all of them but we need some of each of us to focus on some of them.

Even now as I finish up this post it’s ended up being over 24 hours since I actually completed my run. I don’t want to give up. I’m going to continue to push through this difficult time and do my part to help make this short time we all have on Earth a little bit better.

    Feeling Very Out of Shape on My Long Run

    ByTim Nolte
    After getting through about half of my run in this morning I could tell that the second half was going to be a struggle. Over the past year, even though I haven’t stopped running, my running wasn’t always as consistent and my diet has been all over the map. These two things of course have…
