November Project Races The Cotton Bowl

Today was the culmination of months of preparation, community organizing, and tribe dedication as NOVEMBER PROJECT DALLAS. Trending today #NP_Dal hastag for the socials. People attended a workout at Cotton Bowl at 6 am this morning. The energy and atmosphere was amazing! All of these souls came together as a community to share positive energy and get a sweat on. Being the last Wednesday of the month and our first official day in the Cotton Bowl, it was our inaugural stadium PR day (full tour starting at section 36 and going all the way around the stadium back to section 1). The course around the Cotton Bowl is quite varied with some section climbing much higher than others, as well as some sections with bleachers that have backs–moving people to stairs. The stadium is challenging mentally, physically and technically.

The bounce: Went along the lines of shouts and yells to the rain Gods thanking them it didn’t pour on us. If the rain would have come we would still have trucked on as our tribe hashtag is #weatherproof.

The workout went flawlessly as the people of Dallas attacked the Cotton Bowl with energy and enthusiasm. Taking off in waves, the people began the quest to complete the Cotton Bowl in under 40 minutes and some even trying to set the standard for all others to match. Tribe members new and old embraced the workout shouting out encouragement and giving hugs and high five mid workout (don’t forget the occasional shout of “y’all good?”). AS the race around the Cotton Bowl moved to the middle, the sections get longer/taller and legs began to shake as the lactic acid pooled in muscles. Slowly the lungs began to burn, but the smiles never-the-less persisted embracing the suck. This pain is the pain of a quality workout which, makes you a better, faster athlete, and brings the community together. Why? Because you conquered hell together!

We want to give an amazing shout out to everyone that came this morning because you woke up and decided that today you were gonna ignore the snooze on your alarm and put in work. You got a killer workout in before Dallas was even awake.

To those who completed a full tour–no matter the time–it is an amazing accomplishment, congrats!

To Camilio Sanchez our first dude and unknown women smiling so hard for her PR photo who were the respective top male and female finishing in unknown and unknown times amazing job setting the standard for everyone to chase after! Everyone pushed themselves out of their comfort zones by waking up early and taking on the Cotton Bowl, and you all deserve a huge hug.

This day did not happen overnight it, came from within the tribe. We asked for help to get into a stadium and our tribe delivered! Chris stepped up and let us know that he has contacts in the city and fair park. This led us to Jessie who embraced the idea of continuing Fair Park’s mission statement of growing the Dallas community through fitness with November Project. These two worked tirelessly over the past few months to make this day a reality. We thank you for that! Without you two this day would not be possible! Thank you to Hoist and Social Revolt for helping expand our reach in the Dallas community by sending the word out through your PR machines! And an super shout out to Hoist for supplying water to all the people who partook in the workout! Thank you to photographers Joe Rodriguez of Skywalker Photography and Jessica Tobias who took the beautiful shots you see here (and we will upload more to fb shortly)! Thank you to the drone pilot Sparky Sorensen of Sparky’s Video Productions who took some amazing shots for us to share with you and our dope ass DJ Derick Abram a.k.a. DJ Astronaut.

This day was the start of a new chapter in November Project Dallas as we spread the free fitness and positive vibe movement throughout the city.

Thank you for just showing up and bringing everyone you know! Remember we will be there no matter the weather. We are the steadfast rock and will always be there for a hug and a sweat session! We hope to see you again at our weekly workouts!
