First workout of 2017 and it rained. It never rains here! But today was an early test for the tribe. Will we be weatherproof in 2017? If today is any indication, the answer is a strong maybe.
Toughest person at the workout today was easily Tantek’s nephew whose name I remember only as beginning with a V. Little guy was wearing an NP buff, lights on his shoes (learning from @T’s Tron look, surely), and a grin on his face. He sprinted into the finisher’s tunnel like his life depended on it and I didn’t hear a peep from him about it being cold, rainy, or early.
Let’s just all be like Tantek’s nephew in 2017: well-lit, hungry for speed, and impervious to the elements. Bring it on.
Announcements
- Sister City Pushup Challenge
- We’re doing a pushup challenge for the month of January with our sister city, NP Indy. This spreadsheet has all the teams. If you’re in here, make sure to get a team name, record your pushups, and get to know your teammates in Indy!
- If you didn’t sign up (cough, Pete Kruse), you can just add your name and create a team at the bottom of the spreadsheet.
- Sunrise 6k
- We’re doing one. End of this month. Sharpen those track spikes. Someone’s gotta beat Paddy.
- Bring A Friend This Wednesday
- Someone who might not come otherwise or better yet, someone who has never come to a workout. Chris Sheesley will be there, everyone knows that. You can’t count him as your friend you brought.
