EDMONTON NOTES:
by Nadim
We are one step closer to the deep freeze. We dipped below freezing today and with the windchill we were at -5C (30F for our American friends). Thankfully, our wonderful friends at MEC taught us how to keep warm last night at their #weatherproof clinic. We’ll post a summary of it on the facebook page later today.
Also, whoever ended up taking my jacket this morning, I’m holding your pants ransom. See you all Friday at Emily Murphy Park! Recruit! Recruit! Recruit! TeamNadim vs TeamJen
MADISON NOTES:
by Ted
This morning was like a Hershey bar – dark, hard, and awesome. Nary a sun ray creeped out until late in the workout, which featured 7 hill loops and “to exhaustion” exercises wedged in between. Highlights: cross-generational trash talking, DG puking, a visit from Boston Kevin, and perhaps the most awkward recruiting fail in NP history – yes, we can come on too strong at times. She still might show up. Maybe. Probably not. It’s cool.
BOSTON NOTES:
by L. Smith
We observed one thing right away this Wednesday morning: the parents are finally both gone so we can party the rest of the week. During our 33-1/2 to 36-minute stair workout, we gave lots of hugs, improved the shape of our calf muscles, and met plenty of newbies. We learned again how exactly to pass when on the stairs…on the right. The final section of stairs was one we all did together, just to emphasize the close-knittedness (yeah?) of the community that you have now joined.
See you Friday for some hills with a side of extra community-building.
SAN FRANCISCO NOTES:
by Bojan
This morning was my first try with the San Fran tribe and let me tell you, them kids know what’s up. In the absence of the tribe leader Laura, my new friends Amy, Ben and Sam stepped up and created a kickass workout that can compete with any $300/month crossfit gym. Well done boys and girls, and thanks for having me!
I have to admit, I got little emotional seeing all the gorgeous faces enjoying the sunrise at the top of the Alamo sq. park. It’s still crazy to me to think that less than two years ago BG and I were running around Charles river just trying to stay in shape through the winter months. Today thousands of students, nurses, accountants, bus drivers, and dog walkers are getting together all over the world to sweat and hug before they go on with their respective days. It’s a beautiful thing! The tribe is pretty fucking strong!

I’ll watch Edmonton closely this winter, I trust everyone knows @nov_project Edmonton has the highest degree of difficulty, ONE: coldest TWO: most darkness THREE: by my calculations there are no people further north, so they are limited to three-directional recruiting, my best to each of you from New Jersey near the Lincoln Tunnel to Boston, Madison, San Francisco . . . .
