Sometimes you can plan and plan and plan and plan and plan a little but more and then show up and there’s a massive fence prohibiting you from fulfilling your plan. So you gotta get crafty. Thankfully this city has lots of places for free fitness and this gang of yahoo’s won’t start off their week without a dose of it.
The Toulouse Scrum.
Scrummage (scrum) is a rugby term that involves the union of players around the ball, packing closely together in hopes of forward advancement. You can’t expect to ever move forward, nor ever win a game, without a strong scrum, or team, surrounding you.
Now we’ve all heard the words, world take-over, since the beginning when BG and Bojan made a bet in a bar in Boston to stay active through the toughest months of the year.
The Real Jones.
It’s the last time I can really talk about Indiana Junes for another 11 months so let me have these next few minutes to talk about the real Jones.
This one is dedicated to the myth and legend himself. A guy that brings a duffle bag of nips to his own bday celebration and goes by the name of Adam Sogoloff. It was true that we went to at least 4 different sources to validate no one has ever seen him won the positivity award. We were so sure he had received it that we actually gave it to his daughter, Belle, and one of his best recruits, Sugarmama, first.
The Rise of the Jones
We’ve all heard of the rising Pheonix but have you heard of the Rising Jones?!
The Rising Jones happens once a year, in late June when the earth is burnt from the summer sun and ONLY takes place on a glorious Friday morning. If you listen carefully talks of the Jones can be heard rising through the cracking trees branches and the car honks from commuters miserable they have to go into work. This month, this workout, that is dreaded all year long has officially come to a close but the conversations do not reflect the sentiment you would have assumed judging by the EEKS radiating throughout the city streets in the beginning of the month.
Coming Out Of Hibernation… (BOS 3.27.2019)
This morning may not have felt any different rolling out of the doorway into the cold brisk air this morning. It definitely didn’t feel different rolling up to the concrete jungle at 5:25am to see a shadowy mass of humans congregating and trying to stay warm. It didn’t feel any different when I said bring it innnnnn NOVEMBER PROJECT BOSTON!!
Guest Blog: “Ask Not What NP Can Do For You…” (BOS 3.25.19)
Ask not what NP can do for you…
When we talk about November Project, it’s easy to list the things our tribe(s) have given to each of us, including but not limited to: sunrises, friends, PRs, communities, training partners, cheerleaders, familiar strangers, & life partners. Our workouts build confidence, generate goodwill, create empathy, fight depression and anxiety, foster connection, and champion the positive impact of a simple high-five or encouraging cheer.
Thank you.*
I’m not really event sure where to begin with this. You guys have left me speechless.
This is a thank you to all those that continuously #JUSTSHOWUP.
A thank you to those who showed up this morning and Monday morning to race. To those that only show up only Wednesdays at 5:30am and to those of you who show up to both… To you who continue to show up EVERY M,W,Fr at 6:30am no matter what. And lastly to you who show up on Tuesdays, on Thursdays and ALSO show up in the afternoon and weekends. It’s a reminder that this community has no edges. No boundaries. No definitions and no walls.

Sometimes you don’t get to where you want to go. You set out with the goal of doing one thing and find yourself somewhere else. It could be because it was too lofty or maybe you run out of time…
For instance today. After our “3”‘s round we moved onto our “2”‘s which were 100-100-100 (100 bojans, 100 High-Fiving-Squat-Jumps, 100 leg lowers).
I got 99 problems and a [blank] ain’t one.
There’s a lot of things we can complain about. Sometimes more things seem to go wrong than right and that becomes what we focus on. But if we can shift our focus just slightly to highlight the things that are going right or what is good in our day we might just start to get a little bounce in our step and the bad things might not seem so bad.
A Wacky, Wild, Inflatable, Tubey Wednesday.
When the sun is lazy and the winter gets cold, November Project is a very hot spot.
There’s no better place to feel and be young, November Project, November Project, November Project mmmmm have some fun.
So get into running, yelling and bouncing, feel the excitement, prime on the action. We’re having a good time under the (winter) sun.
