Free Fitness Movement. All you need to do is show up!
Ever seen one of these round stamps on recycled cardboard, neon paper or blasted over social media? Maybe you were recruited by one of these, which means they, in fact, do their job.
If you have no idea what I’m talking about and haven’t seen a paper like this with a BIG ol ‘Fuck Yeah‘ on top; its about time you learn. Friends, these are crucial to this movement and we’re about to have a long over due social gathering around them.
December 11th, 2015.
That’s right, this date will be remembered for a while. It’ll go down in NP history — unless next month is even fiercer, even larger, even louder (in a ninja-voice kinda way) and we start talking about January 8th, 2016 and then March 10th, 2079 (it’s the second Friday and just so happens to be my 91st birthday, PARTAAAYY and you’re all invited). Hmmmm, yup that’s definitely happening. It seems almost impossible to top a day like today, but then again with the momentum of this tribe, I’m not sure what we can predict anymore.
Soo I’ve had these ideas for blog posts, probably hundreds by now. It seems like my mind comes up with something new every hour but this was not something I thought too hard about… well, until today. We are always talkin’ community, racing, free fitness, grassroots, goals, fuck yeahs, #justshowingup, basically everything November Project is and stands for…. well yup here’s another one. With everything that went down this morning, it’s too perfect not to just go HAM on this.
Guess who’s back? Back-packing again?
Boston’s back, tell your friends!
Seriously, a lot of things are back. It’s these days when all you want to do is hit that snooze, call out of work and watch movies. (I may currently be doing 2 out of those 3… don’t judge.) But no, a few hundred core-of-the-core members #justshowedup with weighted backpacks in neon rain gear. This includes a HUUUGE newbie meeting and some super OG members returning from hiatus.
Alright so what I am about to write goes against everything our parents taught us. Thank god my gram doesn’t know how to use a computer or else I’d be in trouble.
These ‘strangers’ who we’ve been told not to talk to or accept candy from are actually some of the coolest cats in town. So here’s my new philosophy: instead of running from strangers, let’s run TO strangers and show them some NP lovin’.
Alrighty so we’ve got some Important Announcements for all y’all so I was told to keep the blog short and concise so that these points are hammered across.
Well that’s not gunna happen.
There is absolutely no way I’m able to contain all the energy from this morning for the rest of the weekend. So we are just going to mix things up a bit and get to the fun and important stuff first and then finish with some weird, absolutely useless nonsense if you feel like sticking around. Don’t tell me if you decide to peace out early, just let me keep thinking that you enjoy reading this and think this is somewhat entertaining…
Yes this title is partly to give C Payne a lot of #FIMO for not being able to make it this morning. It’s probably due to eating stale/too much pizza and getting helicoptered to Alabamah for treatment, confirming that now. The tribe wishes you a quick and speedy recovery and cant wait until you’re released so you can come back and warm us with your humor. In good Payne fashion… a GIF
I was asked a few times this morning what I’m on so early in the morning to have this much energy. Is it waaay too much coffee? A good night’s sleep? Some other substance? How do we, collectively, have so much energy this early in the morning?
There are a few theories out there on this but the most scientifically proven is this huge ass thing called HYPE. HYPE is not a new drug, but a natural phenomenon that is actually good for the body; fact. We don’t need any energy drinks, sorry girls; we can simply thrive off one another.
