For a majority of this mornings workout, we made you all carry around these little figurines and we’re sure you were all wondering… “Why the eff am I holding a miniature pig while I do bear crawl across a frozen field?”
(Zach and Mike are proud of their little things)
side note on bear crawls: Did you all see Mike Wilburn aka “Mustache Mike” aka “Mikesquatch” bear crawl?! No. You didn’t. Cause he’s too fast. Here’s an attempt at capturing an image of his lightning speed bear crawl:
BLURRRR
Lara expressed, ever so eloquently, what our intentions were with these “little things” at the end of the workout. Her wise words are here in blue for those of you that missed it. *cough cough* Tetrick, Jacob Giff, Lily, and some dude named Ben Kenyon. *cough*. #wemissedyou #missedverbals
“Our intention was to encourage you to think about the little things in life. Because it’s the little things that add up that make the human experience so exceptional. Whether it’s a conversation with a stranger, time spent with a pet or loved one, or even just appreciating the beauty of nature,” (like that sunrise this morning. DAMN) “finding gratitude for the little things in life can help us find ease in a world that’s filled with so much chaos. And knowing that the little things we do for others can have a profound impact on them. Our words and our actions can change the course of someone’s beliefs.
What if a compliment you give someone makes them realize that people truly care about them? What if a positive affirmation you give helps someone understand how much potential they have? You are all so much more powerful than you think you are. So we hope this silly aspect of the work out serves as a gentle reminder that the little things really do matter.”
Woof. Powerful stuff from a powerful person. Lara, we are really glad you’re here. That shit was good. So good, in fact, that we totally glossed over all the announcements.
Announcements we forgot to put out this morning:
- If you aren’t already in, add yourself to the November Project PDX Social page on Facebook. This is where you’ll find all the info on upcoming events and extracurricular activities.
- Next week, we’re having an ugly sweater workout. Find yourself the ugliest Christmahanakwanza sweater and wear that shit to the workout. OR you can wear a cute sweater and wrap yourself in Christmas lights. OR you can wear a unitard to show off your muscles like Cole.
- Next Wednesday evening, we’re hosting an event at Lululemon in the Pearl. More details to follow.
- Magic School Bus run! Happening – as it always does – this Friday morning! Details can be found on the aforementioned social page or by bothering Bismah. Don’t know Bismah? Well, you should find her and introduce yourself cause she’s fucking amazing.
The End.
HAPPY WEDNESDAY!
