Jumpstartrunning Presents:

In The Long Run

IMPACTful THOUGHTS:

(IMPACT is my chosen word for 2025 - what was yours?)

Hello Reader,

I see you, runner.

The “runner” comes out in all of us this time of year—running through our thoughts, finances, to-do lists, and patience.

When you’re trying to “do all the things” in preparation for the holidays, I want to remind you of the most important gift you can give yourself: grace over perfection.

If your routine feels a little off right now, you’re not doing anything wrong—it’s December.

This season is often a transition mile. I’ll be sharing a few intentional shifts in the weeks ahead—and I’d love to hear what’s coming up for you as well.

In the meantime, good luck as we hit mile 20 of the holiday marathon. May you find bargains, parking spaces, and plenty of grace.

I’ll be in touch again before Christmas—until then:

Keep moving forward my friends, one step at a time.

Coach Nicole

LONGEVITY (100 YEARS!)

Last weekend on December 13, Dick Van Dyke turned 100 years old. I'll always associate him as Bert, a chimney sweep, one-man band, and bank president in the 1964 film Mary Poppins.

Click on the link below to see him actually singing "Let's Go Fly A Kite" with his family on his actual 100th birthday!

​

He also said in the clip "I've often tried to think - what did I do to live this long? The only thing is, I've always exercised - I still go to the gym three days a week - I believe that's the secret!"

He wrote the above memoir in 2015, and then just a few weeks ago, came this:

Since it's the holiday season and a time for "JOY", check out this video - if you want a beautiful example of "awe", watch to the very end and the way DVD looks at Chris Martin:
