Why I Ran A 5K This Morning

ByTim Nolte

As I proceeded to create my running photo for this morning, after taking my traditional selfie, I began thinking about how I really want to frame beyond just the obvious health benefits. Since I was blessed to make a trip last year to Africa I have photos that can tell way more of the story than a few of my words. This village in Sierra Leone had a hole in the ground, dried up in this photo, about a mile away to gather water from. This village also had a school of children. This village was in dire need for the sort of well that helps to put in all across Africa. This is what means to me, what my commitment is about. My drive comes from wanting to see these children grow up knowing that there is hope for a better future.

    When A Run Turns Into A Fight, With Yourself

    ByTim Nolte
    This morning wasn’t hard because of the weather, the terrain, or my physical state, this morning my run was consumed with a battle of my emotions and an ugly part of me that rears it’s head every now and then. Unfortunately, I spent little time during my run in worship or prayer, most of it…
