Said tribe member Colleen McSupple about the cards laid out for today’s workout.

Maybe she’s right..just kidding, we wouldn’t do that to you guys! Or would we…Anywho, today’s workout was a spin off a previous workout thought up by the fab and fierce Carly Danek. Cards were placed in a central location and each suit was associated with a different direction. Now, the first time we did this, we put the cards a the top of Gold Metal Hill. Today, homebase was at the bottom of the original hill. This made for a surprisingly tough and tiring 30 minute workout. read more

This morning brought back some members that have been hibernating. This morning also brought back a workout we like to throw down on regularly because it’s f*ckin hard. The morning started off with a hard warm-up too. 100 push-ups total with boys and girls divided into two lines that alternately did increasing push-ups from 1 to 10 and back down again. How do your arms feel?! read more

This morning the humidity was low but the morale was high.  A cloud-dotted sky was brightly overtaken by a shining July sunrise as the 6 O’ lock hour approached.  The pitter-patter of athletic shoes of all sizes could be heard if you listened closely. The tribe was making their way to the Mill. As the clock struck 6:27am, the tribe formed a close circle. Tribe leader Ben Bauch bellowed from the middle of the pack for the newbies to jump into the center.  Among these newbies was #NP_DC’s very own Dustin Renwick, a name that each and every November Project tribe will get to know throughout this summer and fall. Renwick has plans to complete a cross-country/Canada trip including stops in all NP cities. Badass. read more

There were two main themes at yesterday’s workout: rainbows and candy. Each supporting a recently past or upcoming celebration.  #GrassRootsGear was tagged in either classic black or rainbow pattern in support of the pride celebrations that took place this past weekend.

We had a pretty badass paint crew tagging during the workout. Special thanks to Rachel White, Carly Danek, and Jeremy Reichenberger. read more

The morning always starts with a bounce. Sometimes it’s a slow bounce, sometimes it’s a baby bounce. This morning, it was a “joggy” bounce that turned into a massive bounce that ended in a “GOOD MORNING” and “F*CK YEAH!”

Minneapolis is heating up and so is #NP_MSP.  A new workout was on the docket today, a great suggestion by our own Carly Danek. We call this workout the compass rose because there are four directions in which tribe members take off in after drawing a card from on top of Gold Metal Park hill. A hodge-podge mix of 3 decks of cards were spread out face-down on top of the hill with tribe members gathered around them, ready to grab a card. read more

This morning #NP_MSP put #raceeverything to good use. Not only did we race each other, we raced the rising sun, and then the incoming storm.

Today is National Running Day.  There’s no better way to kick off such a valuable morning than with a race. MSP tribe members took off this morning from the middle of the stone arch bridge all the way out to Main Street or “Historic St. Anthony Main.”  They traveled all the way down to the train bridge that can be sighted on the left-hand side, turned, and then made a loop on boom island, high-fived Ian “No-BS” BS, and made their way back the way they came. read more

After a rainy Memorial Day weekend, MSP was desperate for some sun.  And that’s just what we got this morning.  The gloomy clouds that had been looming over Minneapolis finally broke and the sun stretched its cramped legs just in time for this morning’s Stone Arch Shuttle- in reverse-workout. As the sun greeted us, the temperature rose, making the morning pleasantly sweaty/sticky. there’s no better feeling than sticking to your fellow tribe members when you hug them after a workout! read more
