Three years ago today, NP_IND became an official November Project tribe!! It’s amazing all that has happened since a bright-eyed (and haired) Bobbie Werbe started pledging this tribe the previous fall…and, it is all a testament to Bobbie, those OG’s who showed up in the beginning when it was just a few people, and everybody who shows up to support #freefitness now. We look forward to continuing the growth and spreading the NP love in Indianapolis into our fourth year and BEYOND!
The Party:
In lieu of the forced, post-bounce hugs (that come after the non-forced welcome hugs) we decided to knock out five push-ups that will go to Kim Gray’s tally as she is currently a dove with a broken wing.
The workout was the Hot Mess that all of us should know and love by now, yet quite a few who have done it several times seem to forget how to do. Maybe by our 9th birthday it will catch on.
- One lap is a trip up the south steps to touch the gold door and back down. One partner runs three laps while the other partner stays on the sidewalk and does an exercise per lap.
- The exercises?!?! Sure…they are: Burpees, flutter kicks, then hold a plank
- All this is done until the #freefitness badge is unlocked…or the FINAL whistle is blown.
- However there was a whistle of another sort sprinkled in which was the fire drill. Upon hearing that whistle, everybody knocked out 30 seconds worth of push-ups that go towards the “NP Indy/NPSF Push-Up Challenge brought to you by All-State Insurance, fueled by Nelly’s Pimp Juice, powered by Taco Bell’s new Gluten Free Breakfast “Goat Meat Gordita”, and sponsored by Proflowers.com…don’t forget guys, Valentine’s Day is only 34 days away! Send love, not like.”
- (editor’s note: I may have overloaded on the college bowl games this year)
The After Party:
- As indicated above, Kim Gray suffered a tragic wedge accident over the weekend, rendering her with a broken arm. As a result our thoughts go out to Tim Gray.
- Seriously though, Kim – heal quickly and we can’t wait to see you back out here and don’t hesitate to lean on us in the tribe for any help you guys need.
- Happy Birthday to NP_IND OG, Jessie Meranda!! We are hoping that this might be the year she finally breaks out of that cocoon and finally speaks up.
(Birthday girl – in the pink jacket – is LIT)
Friday’s workout will be at the southern end of the Canal Walk, by the NCAA Hall of Champions. Meet at “The Tent” mirrored sculpture thing at 6am!
Bop to the Top is next weekend so get signed up and show all these Non-NP people how stairs are really done! Hit up Stew for those deets as he is organizing that for us.
Don’t forget to log your push-ups in the google doc and continue the chatter with NPSF. They love talking to us and miss us when we don’t message them, post on their social media accounts, and generally check in on them throughout the day. They all told me…so don’t disappoint our sister.
Happy Birthday NP Indy!! To many, many more!!
