Hurricane Sandy is creating havoc up and down the East Coast but the November Project™ tribe being #weatherproof is not taking notice. This morning we met at the canoe dock down by the Charles River for a #DestinationDock but our plan to do deck of cards was slightly derailed by high winds as cards and wind don’t play all that well. So we did a “Sebastian”. We were muddy, our shoes were wet, but we were smiling and high5ing the whole time. You missed a good one. Due to wet conditions we didn’t have signup sheets but you should record your score from this morning so you can track your future progress. read more

We’re about to turn into your mom for just a second, so here it goes: MAKE SURE THAT YOU BUNDLE UP BEFORE HEADING OUTSIDE TO PLAY!!! This is not for all of you that get in the car and drive to the stadium while the heat is blasting. We’re talking about all of you hard-core mo-fos that run, ride, swim, or parachute over to lower Allston, Brookline, or the impossible to catch #DestinationDeck. It’s getting cold out and we don’t want you to get sick or grumpy. Layering is key. Spandex, or any other artificial material will keep dry and warm – cotton will not. Cotton gets wet and stays wet, and in weather that’s sub 40 degrees with an added New England wind action, well, it’s not the best combo. Check out this article for pointers on how to choose your cold weather training gear. read more

When we introduced FrogMan1 to the tribe on August 1st, 29 out of 150 people completed all 50 sections. Today 80 of 230 members that came out to play completed the same task! Geek alert: this means that we went from 1/5th of our tribe being able to finish at least 50 section effort to more than a 1/3rd doing it this time around. That’s an amazing accomplishment all around and everyone involved should be proud. As always we had few mad-men who went for 60, 80 or 100 sections – keep pushing the limits lads – you’re an inspiration to all of us. read more

We heard some complaints that #DestinationDeck is “too easy”. And that people can fly through the full deck in 15 minutes without even breaking a sweat. Those that are saying such preposterous things are either really, really, ridiculously good, at doing pushups or not doing them with proper form. Most of the time is the later… We’ve said it way too many times – #DestinationDeck is a run – deck – run workout and if you add the deck of cards to a 5-6 mile run, that’s a pretty solid workout. But maybe we’re just soft for thinking that…. or maybe you’re driving your car. read more

I show up to do a workout at 5:30am just so I can get the work out of the way and then take photos, cheer people on, and do other fun things. This morning when I came to the top of the hill, Joey Kile was well into his 33-rep effort that started around 4am. For those of you without calculator: 33 times .8 miles equals to 26.4 miles which is .2 miles longer than the marathon!!! Let me repeat that – .2 miles longer than the marathon on Summit ave! Hearth Break hill is little bump in the road in comparison with this effort. So why did Joey decide to do this? Because Steve Christensen announced on facebook that he’ll do 20. Steve was inspired by Alan Shearer’s 20-flight piece from few weeks ago and decided to give it a try. Do you see a pattern here? I’ll do something very respectable and someone else will try to beat it. This also applies to the folks that struggled to run up the hill 2 times without walking and now are banging out 6 repeats without hesitation. They saw that it’s possible, they got fit, and are now eating hills for breakfast. So my friends, keep this healthy competition going, and keep pushing your limits. On Wednesday we’re doing a FrogMan1. Brogan did back-to-back FrogMan1 with the break of 5 minutes in between. Any takers? #WeMissYouBG read more

…Way up high,
There’s a tribe that I heard of,
Once in a lullaby.

This morning after few drops of rain we were greeted by a rainbow. Amazing way to start of the morning! We were even more excited to see that “PR yes/no” column was packed with “yes” and “Fuck Yeah!!!’s”. This means that as a tribe we’re getting faster, fitter, stronger. It’s inspiring to see that people who use to struggle during 20 sections are now dominating full tours. Keep improving and keep #RecruitingMoreRacers. read more
