Post Thanksgiving Long Run

ByTim Nolte
Running | Distance: 7.97 miles, Time: 1:30:05, Pace: 11:18 min/mile

So I didn’t manage to get my run in on Thanksgiving day, we had a very early morning and by the time the kids were in bed it was getting late and I just didn’t feel up to an hour long run that late at night. I still had to get up early enough this morning to get my long run in before things started for the day, but I did get out and get it done.

The biggest struggle on this run was the constant urge of needing to use the restroom, and now that it’s just about winter the porta-johns have all but been put away from some of my running routes. I managed the run well enough despite it.

Don’t misunderstand, running wasn’t an accident, but rather came out of inspiration from my wife and the fact that a team of runners…

    Embracing The Winter Run

    ByTim Nolte
    It may be getting colder and beginning to snow but it’s perfectly fine with me. I’m not sure if it’s the Minnesotan in me that allows me to continue with my running through the winter months, but I’m glad that I can stay active and not just stuck inside all winter. I enjoyed getting a…

    A Little Farther, A Little Slower

    ByTim Nolte
    This morning was really not even a full mile farther than Tuesday. Things were a little slower today but that’s just fine, it was still a good solid run. I really need to start working on a new training plan soon. I’ll have to wait to start a new training plan until I’m back I…
