Last week we heard your complaints about the concrete induced butt-cheek rashes. We heard them loud and clear. To redeem ourselves we scheduled a workout on soft, fresh cut, grass that just happened to be drenched in water, treated with high end sprinklers designed to intensify our workout session. Instead of booty-raspberries, our tribe got to slosh around in one of the most scenic areas of Boston as the sun was rising and turn to run home with wet asses, backs, and knees. A vivid reminder that we are alive and taking in this colorful, fun, real, and sometimes soaking wet world around us. And the next time your ass is wet and you’re feeling less than 100%, just sing along with this jam, we promise all your life’s sorrows will fade away. read more

Today we set out to get 300 people to show up at the stadium. If we hit 300 NP founding fathers promised to get November Project tattoos. So did we hit 300? That’s not important…We would get those tatts even if 3 people showed up. What’s more important is that you guys went out and recruited, you recruited hard. Our previous best day was 180+ and we shattered it today by a lot (we’re still gathering exact numbers but it’s definitely over 270). Thank you all for such a good job building the November Project. We’re proud of you all! read more

Update: The event is now closed.

One of our fastest, most vicious, and non-stop recruters here at November Project happens to be a yoga instructor. Recently awarded Best Of Boston 2012, Goldie Kaufenberg will be teaching our very exclusive, #FREE, MEMBERS ONLY, “fusion flow” (vinyassa flow set to a fusion playlist) class this Thursday at 6:30AM at Lululemon on 337 Newbury St. read more

As I was shooting photos this morning, an MBTA bus driver and his buddy were checking us out. They were so jealous of our awesomeness that they start making snarky comments about how they wouldn’t lay in the grass at Copley Sq. as they see all kinds of “activities” going down on that lawn. What those haters don’t know is that half our tribe was covered in some sort of crap this weekend ranging from gunk from the Charles River, Spartan race mud, or the bleeding spray paint that was far from drying. Oh, did I mention that our last week’s destination deck was done on what is now dubbed #GoosePoopDock? Bottom line is, if you are not down with getting little dirty, than you’re not #Grassroots enough, and NP is just not for you. Luckily it seemed like everyone had a blast this morning so I don’t think that getting dirty will be a problem going forward. Great job everyone. read more

November Project staff has a tendency to shell out bold statements, like “we’ll get @nov_project tattoos if we hit 250+ people on Friday” (looks like that might be happening), or “our friend and a London Olympian, Will Miller is more handsome than Tom Brady” (ladies you be the judges). But today we firmly stand behind the statement that “Today was the best day ever!”. Now, before my wife starts getting mad about me saying that a workout day trumps our wedding day, honeymoon, and many other best days ever that we had during our wonderful 3.5 years of marriage, I want to add a disclaimer that today was the best day in the short history of November Project. Three and a half months ago we opened this workout group to the public with 4 people (including 2 Co-Founders) and we’ve grown to 175+ attendees that showed up today. Let me repeat that… in three and a half months we went from 4 to 175+ people running the stadium on Wednesdays. It’s all thanks to you, the NP tribe that’s been nonstop #RecruitingMoreRacers, talking about NP at work, and random folks on the street. We wouldn’t be able to do it without it you. read more

The time has come for November Project family to start rocking official NP gear and represent the tribe that has proved that you don’t need to drop insane amount of dollar bills to be fit. How are we going to do that? #Grassroots style! We’re turning down perfectly printed shirts that are already flooding our closets and racks at local GoodWill to something way cooler and more badass – #GrassrootsGear. read more

One of our favorite hash-tags is #rainorshine. We use it to explain to “regular” people that November Project tribe shows up for workouts regardless of the weather conditions and it’s usually referring to the rain part. This morning however, we focused on the shine part – hard, sweaty, sticky shine. Everyone knows that awesome half way spot around section 18 where you cross the point of sun drenched steps and get into the shade where temperature immediately drops few degrees. You know the point where you get the second wind when going for a PR? Well this morning it didn’t matter if we were in the sun or shade as the humidity was relentlessly draining fluids out of our bodies. So make sure that you replenish those fluids with water, Gatorade, coconut water, or whatever your preferred hydrating drink of choice might be – booze doesn’t count. Also, Harvard Stadium does not have water fountains so make sure that you bring your own water bottle to hydrate during/after the workout. read more

Many weeks back we asked the simple question, “What are you training for?”

Saturday we were happy to have November Project members Brandon Brando, Scott Gilroy, and Goldie Kaufenberg take on the Tough Mudder on the steep slopes of Vermont’s Mt. Snow. Under the unofficial team name “Pichamuddyasana” these core NP members teamed with potential member Meg Fox to tackle this insane volume of vertical miles, obstacles, temperatures, and electric voltage that leaves even the baddest asses feeling pretty soft. read more
