Great work to everyone showing up today. That burnout at the end was no joke and we are so happy you came. The rest of the blog today was written by Tracey, our recent positivity award winner. Tracey is one of a kind and truly such a kind person, I’ll let her tell her story but know that she is well deserving of this! See you on Wednesday at funicular stairs!
I feel so honoured to have received the Positivity Award Friday morning. I was surprised to hear my name. My first thought was how I was going to get my dog Suki who was tethered to my waist, to come up to the front with me as she’s a rescue and is quite shy.
I first heard about NP when I was with an outdoor bootcamp group called Soldiers of Fitness which stopped operating around May 2017. There were times when we crossed paths with NP on the Walterdale Hill or Glenora Stairs as we would run by pulling tires, carrying sandbags or carrying a 120lb steel pipe we called ‘misery’, while trying to enlist some NP’ers to help us and defect to the other side!
I had gone to a few NP workouts during the Spring/Summer of 2017 at Commonwealth Stadium. The view of the sunrise at the top of the upper level was amazing! My most memorable NP workout was on Christmas Day in 2017. Just like the hashtag #justshowup, I’m glad I did! I couldn’t believe how many people showed up at 6am on Christmas Day and in sub-zero temperatures! It was such a fun time working out and meeting new people! I was hooked permanently even though it was so cold!
In life everyone is dealing with ‘stuff’ and I was no different. I was in the middle of a divorce and NP was somewhere I could go to start the day with some positive energy! There were days I didn’t feel like going because of the weather or some other excuse. I always regretted it when I would see the photos of the people that managed to get out there no matter what.
I love everything about the NP community which is why I like to capture the fun. From the energy of all the co-leaders, past and present – Andrew, Jen, Nadim, Rob and Lazina – It’s a feeling like no other… from the morning bounce, the gorgeous sunrises, grassroots gear, buffs, the different locations on Mondays and all the LOVE being shared by everyone!
NP is a great way to start each day! You can only attract good things in your life with all this powerful good energy and intention! Thank you again for this award!
You know I will be posting photos all week with my Positivity Award!
