For those that know me, you know me well. A loud mouthed chucklehead who didn’t know the first thing about fitness. I was drawn to this crowd because it was weird, and different. No one else in this city was having this much fun before 9am and I NEEDED to be involved.

You all have taught me so much about how to lead, how to run, how to train, and how to rest. When to be loud, and when to shut you up and listen. You each bring something different and important to this group. Don’t ever forget that. Own that. You may not be the fastest or the slowest or the weirdest or the most artistic. But you ARE the somethingest. Find that thing. And bring it to life here at NP. Because NP brings out the best in everyone. It IS for everyone. It’s for all of you. And it becomes whatever all of us want it to be.  read more

Mister Concrete. Miss D. Concrete.

Misstah Concrete. Miss Dah Concrete.

Misstyah Concrete. Miss Tya Concrete.

Missed You, Concrete.

Whether it’s been 2 months, or 2 years since we last saw them, we’ve started to see OG NPers (former hard core November Project Members who stopped coming for <insert babies, jobs, relocations, etc. reason here>) start showing up at 530 and 630am in the last few weeks. Where have they been? Hibernating? Travelling? Moved away? When I see these people I always call them “Misstah Concrete!” or “Miss Da Concrete!” The name originated from the one and only Smooth–who I dubbed Mister Concrete based on three things: read more

I still have yet to go to a November Project workout that I wasn’t glad I went to. Sure, there are days that I wake up and think to myself–

“Oh, F this. WHAT TIME IS IT?! There’s no WAY I’m doing that.”

and sure, sometimes that thought gets the better of me. For the most part what I do is I get dressed, lace up, and make my way to the workout. read more

Everything felt ‘business as usual’ this morning except that as you know, ‘business as usual’ at November Project means it was full of laughter, hard work, poop jokes, and lots and lots of fuck-yeah-able moments. It was definition “spring in Boston.” A beautiful morning by the esplanade. A morning that made me feel like it was 2013 again, when I started November Project and had no fuckin’ clue what was going on, I just knew I loved it. read more

This morning was hilarious, and funny, and awesome, and super orange, and it won’t be talked about in the blog at all. Why? Because some secrets are better left untold. Some secrets are best kept by everyone that showed up in orange clad tights dressed up (as freakin traffic cones for some reason??), passing a trash chair around in silence, while jumping over planking bodies laughing their faces off. read more
