#Traverbal Guest Blog (ORL)

Seeing your faces Wednesday morning fuels my week. You have no idea how contagious your energy is to me. Thank you for creating this juicy-sweaty-let’s-bearhug-anyway movement just by being here. Let’s keep spreading the positivity throughout our homes, workplaces, neighborhoods, grocery stores, highways (yes, even I-4), sidewalks, everywhere. You do a great job at making that eye contact and smiling (just don’t smile and stare for too, too long like I sometimes do — feedback data from strangers says it is creepy).

Without further ado, I’d like to introduce a #traverbal from November Project Dallas, The Clarence “CJ” Jackson. He drove from Dallas TX to Jacksonville FL, slept for 1-hour, then drove 2-hours to NP Orlando’s 6:29am workout.
Talk about dedication — people ask why, here is his answer:

Why do I November Project?
Quick answer: 4 F’s…  Free, Fitness, Fun, Family!
Although my order of importance may change from time to time, this is the order in which I became hooked on We Run Big D…later to be known as November Project Dallas.
Free — self explanatory. People actually pay for the kind of workouts we are having.
Fitness — several years ago, I had a heart attack and needed to get back into shape because I still have to serve in the United States Air Force. Manuel Gonzales (Co-Leader NP_Dal) sat next to me at work and had been encouraging me for over a year to #justshowup!
Fun — workouts are challenging yet fun! I love NP fun natured spirit!
Family — a fitness tribe that not only is free and fun but holds each other accountable. We are there for each other not just during workouts but outside of them as well. The sense of family makes it easy to reach out outside your own tribe and workout with them and feel as if you are at home. You don’t feel out of place at all. We are all like distant cousins and the NP Summit is the big family reunion!
Why do I #justshowup you ask?! 4 F’s… Free, Fitness, Fun, Family!

We are glad you’re here!!!
