Final Week Before Marathon Day

ByTim Nolte

I hit my $1000 fundraising goal but there are many other team members still working to reach their goals. Partner with and help bring clean water to those in need. https://www.hopewaterinternational.org/teams/49

There are only 5 more days before the Grand Rapids Marathon, which will be my 4th marathon. This week the number of runs is winding down, with only a short interval run this morning. I’ll do another short easy run on Thursday. It’s hard to believe that the marathon is this week already. No matter how much I train I always still feel a little nervous going into a race. There are many on the team where this will be their first full or half marathon, and the good thing is we have a whole team to support each other and see us cross that finish line.

    Back In The Saddle On The Road To Recovery

    ByTim Nolte
    I couldn’t do another day of just walking. I did my best to keep it a slow jog. I also continued to use the slower pace to have some good one-on-one time with God and pray for friends and family that I know need support for the things they are going through right now. As…

    Only $375 to go towards my goal, only about $12 per day until #GRMarathon day on October 20th.
