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.

This can also happen during those tough training days. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus Today was a good day, but on…

    Back In The Groove After Some Recovery Time

    Had a great run this morning. Things started off slower but by miles 2 things speed up and I was in groove once again. However, that didn’t cause me to lose sight of keeping some of my running focusing on friends and family that are in need. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon

    Getting The Saturday Long Run Done

    ByTim Nolte
    We all have those off days, for me today was one of those. The second half of my run was more challenging than last week. Given I PR’d for a half marathon I was surprised by today. I really can’t complain, I was supposed to be running a 9:40 min/mi pace. So in reality I…
