Free Fitness Movement. All you need to do is show up!
The cold rainy conditions didn’t deter the group who showed up this morning. Between wet exercises, and pushing cars around the parking lot while blasting 80’s top 40 hits it was an amazing morning.
For those that ran the Shamrock Shuffle 8k over the weekend we loved cheering for you. Saw some great PR’s happen.
Of the 24 people at the workout this morning we had 7 PR’s which means almost 30% of the group had their best run in funky muddy conditions.
Don’t forget to log your laps here on the NP Tracker to keep track of your runs.

A small but determined group showed up this morning to help us through our very first sledding workout. The sleds were fierce and fast. Hill runs were snowy and persistent. Well done & be well. See everyone on Friday.
Wisconsin Notes:
Today was one of those days where the energy was off the charts. Tons of smiles. Tons of goofy shit happening. The sun was out and people were feeling it. Thanks for an amazing start to the day/weekend.
Love you all
Wisconsin Notes:
In January, I went up to a cabin in New Hampshire for a weekend. The cabin is used by the association of former employees of the Appalachian Mountain Club‘s hut system, which in some respects is like November Project:
Sound familiar? (If anyone is ever looking for a summer/early-fall job for a couple of months, let me know. The pay is low, but the view from the office is excellent.)
This is a big week for LGBT support in Chicago and we plan to rock it out November Project style!
Both Wednesday 6/22 and 6/24 will feature special Pride tagging colors. Tagging starts at 6:10 am on Wednesday and at 5:45 am on Friday
Please arrive EARLY! (Looking at you Greenberg)
Also on Wednesday 6/22 will be our annual yearbook photos!!! Our theme this year is going to be “At the Beach” so interpret that as many ways as you wish. Same thing applies. Please show up early!
“Not much of an introduction is needed here. Emily has been a core member in Chicago since the beginning and has even recruited people from a hot tub (BALLER). She also does Triathlons and did one using Chicago’s bike share which is a tank of a bike. Needless to say, she’s awesome. So listen up, pump it up and get ready for some NP fun.” NP_CHI Leaders – OUT!!
“Don’t tell me good job!”
“Please push me!”
As leaders, we always want to push people, but some times we need to be told “Hey, I’m not happy with where I’m at. Push me harder. Help make me stronger. Call me out when I’m not pushing myself or have bad form”.
Sunday 4/3 will feature our annual cheering station for one of Chicago’s premier races: The Shamrock Shuffle 8k!! We’ve got a lot of November Project Chicago athletes running this race — and a short shorts wearing visitor from Boston who will be in town for the race as well. If you’re not running, come out and support everyone who is this Sunday! The November Project cheer station will be right by mile 4 of the race course. Hope to see everyone out there!
So Anya has been nothing but amazing ever since she joined us early last year. She joined our Crazy group in Chicago during one of our coldest winters on record. She’s a fighter, a supporter, a networker and many more positives. She lives & breathes everything we are about. We are lucky to have her share some of her experiences with us!
