Here at November Project we have many talents. Some of our members can lift many pounds of weight repeatedly. Some of us can run really fast. Some of us are really good at playing instruments, some are really good writers, some can even fix your speech. Some can freestyle-rap, some can drop a haiku, but one thing that we can all do really well is sing very loudly at 6:30am. This morning we belted our vocal cords to the lyrics of world-renowned jam “Happy Birthday” to our friend Niles who decided to celebrate his birthday morning by running some hills. Thanks for coming Niles, and thanks to everyone that participated in the singing circle. read more

Today was a historic day for November Project. For the first time in our long and eventful existence we had a canine workout participant. His name is Jackson and him and his human friend Sarah were rocking the Summit Ave Hill pretty hard this morning and they were not alone. Aside from the regular familiar faces we were excited to see a contingent of new peeps. They all did masterful job going for it while the pre-thunder-storm 90% humidity wasn’t making things easy. Check out everyones results in the table below. Proud of you all! read more

As you can tell by the cover photo we’ve started a tradition. After each workout, we’re going to try to take a group photo (if there’s camera on hand) @nov_project style. What’s @nov_project style? Straight face, straight back, old school cowboy feel to go hand in hand with #grassroots #community movement that’s been spreading around the Boston like a wildfire. It’s going to be AMAZING! read more

Happy longest day of the year, folks! This morning we had our friend Silas Dunham, coming from SumoSkinny.com to do a video feature on our @nov_project tribe. SumoSkinny.com is an online magazine for young people that want to stay current with the newest trends and local events. We’re jazzed about the visit and can’t believe that he banged out the amazing video in only few hours. Silas you’re the man, and that fixie is pretty sweet. read more

That’s the sentence that came out of Sara’s mouth as she finished her last set of the day. And we agree. There is nothing like the sense of self-acomplishment that you get after completing really challenging workout early in the morning while most of Boston is still in bed. And what a workout it was… 5 times .4 miles up and down the hill, for the total of 4 miles of running. read more

Good morning friends and happy Friday! We started our day with some good ol’ hill sprinting up the Summit Ave. A lot of folks still don’t know what that means so we’ll do our best to explain.

Summit avenue is a street that goes up Corey hill in Brookline, MA. Bottom to top distance is little under 1/2 mile (.4 miles to be exact) of steepness and pain. Gradient varies from hard (~7%-8%) to my lungs are burning (~15%-16%) and it takes us anywhere from 3-4 minutes on average to get up there. Below is the gradient chart borrowed from MapMyRun website that illustrates the elevation. All that purple means that this hill is pretty serious. read more

One day we took DSLR camera to the stadium, took ton of pictures, recorded some videos, made few friends and combined all the material in this Guy Ritchie style video. Hope you enjoy it!

Dear November Project folks, please accept our sincere apologies for not doing our weekly after-the-stadium-feature last Wednesday. Official November Project pet gold fish – Stairs – died and we had to attend the funeral. Everyone knows that cemeteries usually have weak WiFi connection so banging out the blog post wasn’t an option. Also doing it on Thursday wasn’t gonna happen because everyone knows that Thursday is not Wednesday and that’s the way it should be. Now we are getting a sturdier pet, like pet rock or stick fish, so attending pet funerals hopefully wont be in our foreseeable future. read more
