IMPACTful THOUGHTS:

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

Hello Reader,

It's Christmas Eve, and I'm visiting family at my parents beautiful log home in Pueblo, CO.

I was thinking about an email from one of my favorite entrepreneurs, Amy Porterfield:

"This is the week to unplug.

❤️ To be with your people.

💚 To laugh way too loud.

❤️ To play games that get a little out of hand.

💚 To eat alllll the food.

❤️ To enjoy slow mornings without an agenda.

This week is about being, not becoming."

Normally, I would be focused on a run while outside.

Instead, I wanted to touch base with a few friends and wish them a Merry Christmas.

The message I received from Amy Porterfield's email was about being present -for yourself, or for someone else.

This time of year can bring a flurry of emotions, and no matter if/how you celebrate, please know that I'm here to wish you rest and peace.

We will get after it again next week, but this week, I'm taking Amy's advice and sharing her parting words:

This week, we eat. 🍰

This week, we rest. 😴

This week, we unplug. 🧘🏻

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

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...

Jumpstartrunning Presents: In The Long Run IMPACTful THOUGHTS: (IMPACT is my chosen word for 2025 - what was yours?) Hello Reader, A friend of mine was kind enough to let me know he signed up for the 7 Days of Mobility, but wished he had access to the 5 exercises I described in my previous email. He was 100% right! Today, I had fun at the local track making these videos and I must say - THEY ARE NOT EASY. Start slow, and see how you feel. I value your feedback always - if you have any...

The Most "Wonderful" Time??

Jumpstartrunning Presents: In The Long Run IMPACTful THOUGHTS: (IMPACT is my chosen word for 2025 - what was yours?) Hello Reader, Yep, it's that time of year. If you wake up already feeling behind, or can’t even remember Thanksgiving (shoutout to all you Turkey Trotters!), you’re not alone. I’m out in Arizona until December 21, and even my packing needed a strategy. My movement plan before I left? Grace, space, and (no) pace. One day, I said I’d run “later” and… didn’t. Instead of beating...
