While we hope you are always challenged with your Wednesday morning workout, we also hope you always have fun-and PR Day is no exception! Though it is a more systematic plan than we run occasionally; devoid of Bojans, bear crawls and bench jumps, we still want you to enjoy your early morning while attempting to crush those PRs! We try to keep it well regulated so you can continue to challenge yourself with a healthy dose of self competition. We designed the new course back in August, taking advantage of the gorgeous lakeside path and planning a route that would allow for maximum high fiveage. We threw in 21 burpees per full lap because, lack of stairs+we just really love those full body burners!
Whether you set your PR at 2, 2.3 or 3.2 rotations, or maybe you didn’t get your full beauty rest and hated when the alarm went off (like me, getting the bright idea to soak the NP stencils in acetone just after midnight, and scraping off layers of paint with my bare hands at 2am so you could all get a fresh tag) but, you still had the drive to get up and get moving. Either way, congratulate yourself on showing up for yourself and your tribe, because fitness is always more fun with friends to encourage you along the way. Btw, I really love that our traverballers are competing not only with themselves, but also calling out others! 
Keep pushing yourselves, and each other-the work is worth it!
PR’s are meant for breaking (ORL)
We huddled up and got the blood flowing with a bounce borrowed from Friday Night Lights. ‘Clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose’ was the mantra for the morning’s game. After a warmup that proved that, while completely badass, this tribe is far from making it to the Battle of the Pigskin.
A chill was in the air early Wednesday morning, and everyone was gathering at the base of the lighted treepole. We huddled together for a nice warmup bounce, followed by warming hugs all around. Our spirits continued to soar as we jogged around the fountain, belting out our favorite Holiday tunes. It sounded something like “haul out the jingle bells, fa la la la la, la la la I have a little dreidel, won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?!”
We also had a couple of traverballers-John brought his fast feet from 
A fun little finisher of jogging in place, planking, and jumping jacks-all with our eyes closed, gave us a new perspective on time. A fresh perspective is something we can apply to so many aspects in our lives. It’s easy to get stuck with tunnel vision, which can prevent us from seeing how we can move ahead or make a change in a particular situation. I encourage you all to expand the way you look at things, and to seek opportunities to build on the positive aspects in your life. We all can all make positive choices that help to enrich our lives, and those around us.
