Goooood Morning PHILLY!
crunch crunch crunch crunch, that’s not the sound of me eating chips for breakfast (although that does sound good and now I’m hungry)… that’s the sound heard around Philly from this morning’s workout.
We worked really hard on our “Sweater Abs”
. I was informed this morning that in the winter we work on our sweater abs and in the summer we work on our bathing suit abs (thank you Rebecca Shafer/Barber/BEX).
VB + Philly Vs SD + Vancouver = one epic Sunrise 6K challenge.
The race this morning was a slippery one, last night brought the weather we have been waiting all winter for (the good white stuff). You guys threw down this morning and put up super fast times. You must have had your 
for breakfast. After you record your time head over to the social media places and talk some smack and build the hype for the sister city battle for Sunrise 6K champions!
I’m hot — You’re hot — He’s hot — She’s hot. Feeling hot hot hot.
In Philly we call this morning cold, freezing cold. If we were from NP Canada it would have been a just another warm Friday… I hear they don’t even wear jackets there until its below 0F.
This AM we had a workout (read more below)

I miss that sound. Do people even pick up the phone and call each other anymore? Well, today we tried to change that. Did you send that person your favorite love song lyrics? Did you send them cute dog pics or maybe a picture of your nose? If you haven’t…This is your friendly reminder to call, text, page, or email the number that you got during the workout today. Invite that person out for a run, or to the next workout or to the Social TONIGHT!
Today was jam packed with announcements. From upcoming workouts and socials to leaders leaving and adding a new one. If you hit the snooze button, you missed out. Don’t make that mistake again.
Here’s what went down today:
Bounce Bounce Bounce, WE ARE PHILLY. Fire drill workout that kicked our butts and then a burnout – not at relay (looking at you Richie). Following the workout Dan dropped the big bomb on the group, an amazing job opportunity has landed in his lap and he will be leaving Philly for Boston in a few weeks. Dan started co-leading NP almost 3 years ago here in Philly, his laugh is infectious, his jokes are mediocre (at best), and his vibe is unbeatable. Thank you, Dan for all that you do and have done for our community. We will miss you, NP Boston is one lucky city. Dan will still be with us for a few more weeks, YAY!
