Finishing The 2018 Grand Rapids Marathon Training - Last training run with my running partner before the big race on Sunday. Seems like nothing to run a couple of miles for training. It was a crisp morning that is for sure but it felt like a good prequel to the marathon day temperature. #HWI #GRMarathon #Run4Water Donate to Water - https://timn.me/2t9D4ne[...] #GRMarathon #HWI #Run4Water

Last Long Run Before The Marathon, Getting It Done On A Cold Early Morning - Last early morning long run before the marathon next week. It's been another great journey with my running partner. Only 1 week until the #GRMarathon with the #HWI team. #WhyIRun #Run4Water Donate to Clean Water - https://timn.me/2t9D4ne[...] #GRMarathon #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun

Last Full Training Week Before The Big Day - Pretty much unheard of for me today ended up being an evening training run, and an #Endomondo one at that. I started off way better than the start of a typical morning run, but given I've had a whole day to get my body moving that sort of makes sense. It was still pretty warm…[...] #GRMarathon #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun

I Am Blessed To Be Able To Run - Short easy 5 mile training run this morning. My focus this morning was on the Jon Martinson family and the people of Sierra Leone. I can't begin to know what it's like to lose a spouse or parent at a young age. It's b hard to believe that a man I worked alongside for years,…[...] #blessed #GRMarathon #health #HWI #Run4Water

Getting A Little Warmer 4 Mile Training Run Done - What a warm run for October it was this morning. I could definitely feel the difference from the 20 mile run last Saturday. Got the quick 4 mile run done with my running partner. A nice easy run today. #HWI #GRMarathon #Run4Water Donate to Water - https://timn.me/2t9D4ne[...] #FallHeat #GRMarathon #HWI #Run4Water

9.4 Mile Combo Training Plan Run, With Some Rain On The Side - Today was another combo plan training run, #Endomodo distance and #HWI pace. Does that surprise anyone? Ha. It was nice to have things a bit warmer given the wind and rain. I don't feel as soaked as yesterday but early in my run I felt like I was headed into a hurricane, e[...] #Endomondo #GRMarathon #HWI #Run4Water #WaterIsLife #WhyIRun

Cold And Wet Fall 5 Miles - It was a cold, wet, windy morning for a training run. I couldn't really focus on much other than to just keep pushing forward. The rain did get me thinking about whether it was the rainy season still in Sierra Leone, and how Alimamy and his mother were managing. #HWI #GRMarathon #Run4Water #WhyIRun[...] #GRMarathon #HWI #rain #Run4Water #Training #WhyIRun

Hitting The 20 Mile Mark, And I Feel Fine - Wow, what a great 20 mile training run today. That may sound crazy but with the cool weather and the great company of Harvey, Jason, and John it made for a good time. I can definitely tell I ran 20 miles, a little over actually, but I feel very good. If I can tackle the…[...] #GRMarathon #HWI #Run4Water #WaterIsLife #WhyIRun #YMCA

One More Thursday Morning 5 Mile Run Before The Final Tapering of Miles - Getting down to the end of the Thursday morning training runs, soon we'll be tapering off as the #GRMarathon is only a few more weeks away.

Family Day At The Air Zoo - We had a fun day as a family at the Air Zoo. We'd never been there but this month there was a reciprocity deal with the Grand Rapids Public Museum. I love the reciprocity deals you get with memberships. Nice to try some new things. #FamilyOuting #GRPM #AirZoo[...] #AirZoo #FamilyOuting #GRPM

I signed up for the 10 & 20 Mile Training Run on Sep 29, 2018! Hoping to finish well on the training run. It'll be a good prequel to the marathon. #GRMarathon
