In just a couple hours, we’ll gather for The Crate Escape. No one knows what will happen. No one knows the route. We might all laugh. We might all cry. Braden might lead us into a back alley with amazing architecture. It’s all unknown. What we do know, is you should be there.

Learning from tribe members and getting to know each other better is the whole reason November Project is what it is. It’s more than just sweating. It’s making real connections with other humans in our city. So, while we don’t know what tonight will be exactly, we do know it will be real and it will be meaningful. Hopefully you’ll join us, person reading this. 6:30 at the Ferry Building. read more

Today’s blog post comes from one of our tribe’s most beloved members, Caity Rogowski. “Rogo” made the smart move to leave DC and join our band of weirdos and hasn’t looked back. Thanks for being here, Caity. And thanks for sharing this with the tribe.

A few up front apologies before we get started: read more

This morning, I had the pleasure of seeing some of my favorite people. All in one place at November Project. It was magical (as it often is) and it started the day right.

But after NP today I got to grab coffee with Lillian Lauer. You may know Lil from her boundless enthusiasm, #rungang consistency, or just general brightness in the morning. It was an opportunity for both of us to connect outside of our workout setting and talk about other life things. read more

Today’s guest blog comes from Greg Berkovich. I’ve never known how to spell Greg’s last name since it’s in foreign characters on Facebook. Apologies if I’ve just butchered your name, Greg. Greg has been coming to NPSF for a long time and recently hopped in a van to drive east for an open-ended trip. He’s been a rock in our tribe and we’ll miss him dearly. Take it away, Greg and come back soon! read more

Guys. Buffalo is killing it. I don’t know if you’ve seen, but they’ve been an official NP tribe for as long as it takes BG to say “rad” and “corporate” in back to back sentences (not long at all). And they are fucking killing it.

I mean how do we become more like Buffalo? That’s the question we should all be asking ourselves each night before we go to sleep. At their first official NP workout as a tribe, they worked out in a stadium and with the mayor. Instant legends these Buffs. read more

At most workouts, there are a few people who have never been to a workout before. We call them newbies. We say their names and clap twice. They’re great. Well this morning, we forgot to shout out one of our newbies: Ernie the French Bulldog. This was the workout through his eyes.

Wow. I think Mom should have let me sleep in this morning. Why am I awake and in the cold fog? I never wanted a friend named Karl anyways.  read more

I’ve grown up, like many of you I’m sure, just trying to make my parents proud. It’s not that hard when you have the best parents in the world like I do (sorry everyone else). I mean seriously. I call my mom for advice when I have difficult conversations to have and she gives amazing feedback. Once, in advance of a tough conversation she said “Don’t forget. We all live under the same moon.” That we do. read more

I’ve been leading NP for well over a year now and I still have days where I wonder why anyone thought leaving me in charge was a good idea. But then I realize Paddy is off running over volcanoes and Laura is wearing berets and doing this so it starts to make more and more sense. I fit right in. read more

Like many of you in the NP universe, I followed closely on Friday night as three crazy fast guys tried to break the 2 hour barrier in the marathon. I’ll admit, I didn’t watch from the beginning, not even close, but what I did see, in the last 10 or 15 minutes, was a guy giving everything he had in pursuit of an outlandish goal. read more
