It feels like we’ve seen a lot of each other recently. If you’ve been out of town for the last week here in Ottawa here’s a quick synopsis of what’s gone down.
To start last Wednesday, we raced, crushed or attempted to crush some PR’s. We passed off the Positivity Award to a woman within our city who inspires and leads by example for other families, friends and some moms out there too. The Sparkettes are a force to be reckoned with. On Friday some of you met us on the hill. It really wasn’t that big of an occasion. I mean two people who consistently show up decided to commit the rest of their lives to one another. There currently is no better love story than that of Lauren and Seumas except maybe my own parents but then again I did not bear witness to it, so it’s hard to say. These two let us share in a part of their magical, making your skin have goose bumps because of all the love filled day. Even more, Friday morning was another time for us to gather and celebrate with people that we were familiar and unfamiliar with. Members of November Project Baltimore and Edmonton graced us with their presence.
Then roll around to Monday and we have ourselves a Holiday Pop-Up back to school workout. All of the necessary school supplies were used; razors, sport bras, socks. Seven days later you are back. Back at the stadium not completing #prday but becoming familiar with the concourse. After completing one section of stairs you were then to find a partner and move through 10 gopher squats, 10 shoulder taps and 10 leg raises. At times, workouts like these seem to last forever. Where as you complete a section of stairs and hustle your way into the concourse to cycle through a quick circuit only to get back out of the concourse and make your way back up to the top.
We believe that workouts like these make you better. They make you challenge yourself and those around you. We believe that they help you push yourself a little bit harder up to the last stair in order to catch your breath as you move down.
Now that was one week here in Ottawa, I did not mention how many coffees were had, how many Lauren and Seumas facts were shared on Friday or how many humans would have partaken in one or all of these events. But that was one good fucking unreal week. Might have to go take a quick power nap now. Just in case you missed the main message in the blog; WE LOVE LOVE and November Project helps us bring that out even more.
Here’s to bringing soles together,
Lauren and Liz
