Free Fitness Movement. All you need to do is show up!
November Project DC has been working out on the stairs at Lincoln Memorial for over 2.5 years. We’ve had minimal disruption to our workouts – we’ve, occasionally, been asked to not run the steps, either due to weather on a particular day, or at the discretion of the officers on duty. We’ve always listened, and moved or adjusted the workout as needed. Very frankly, we’ve been here for 2.5 years without a permit to do so.
First Lady Michelle Obama took to her Insta account – you know the one, you check it first thing in the morning to see if your triceps are like her triceps, find out what veggies sprouted in the White House Kitchen Garden overnight, and read inspirational messages off graduation caps to get your day started? Oh, no? That’s just me? Cool. Let me update you – to announce, along with her Woman Squad (sometimes we refer to those people as “friends”), the first ever United State of Women Summit. No, no. Not United States. The United STATE of Women.
It’s a weekish late, and no dollars short. GOOD LUCK TO CONNECTICUT, you may need it…
Four score and two years ago, our beloved Sasha convinced me to #justshowup to this crazy thing where creatures run and hug and burpee and chin-tickle and stuff at sunrise. Two years later and she was still at it. Just last week she convinced Rocky and me to join for her “last NP workout” (before she graduated medical school and moved away to start her residency in pediatrics… at Yale #humblebrag).
DisCo notes are not a thing. WISCO Notes, better known as Wisconsin Notes, most definitely are a thing. A tried and true thing. SO MUCH SO, that they make a repeated appearance in the November Project Book.
Preview from the book, AND, a reason for this super short blog: “When the Madison, Wisconsin, tribe came on board, they complained about having to wade through the Boston blog posts. These just-the-facts, straight-shooters wanted the straight dope. So Wisconsin Notes was born, a cliffnotes of sorts written for the Madison tribe.”
A WHIRLWIND RECAP OF ANNOUNCEMENTS
No, not that SC. But please, cue this up while you’re reading to really get in the mindset of the correct, SC.. The one and only, Stephanie Cencula.
Now Steph, we know what you’re thinking…. “But GUUUUUYYYSSSUHHH! I’m sick and those rules aren’t real!” Well they were real that day I wore a vest! It’s time you learned a hard lesson.
Ever been recruiting someone and they’re not buying it and you get to your last resort and you’re like, “are you single? trust me there’s tons of fit dudes and hot ladies..” and then you sort of question who you are for a second? NEW TACTIC ALERT. Pls rd. Julie’s blog, then start offering strangers this, “oh you’re unemployed? dissatisfied at your current job? let me tell you about this November Project group, they give out jobs. for free.”
IN THE FUTURE, when there are many logistical announcements like answers to, “Where is the workout on Friday?” they’ll go here. Probably. For now, the workout is TBD and the answer will be formally published on facebook, twitter, instagram and the like.
FOR NOW, PLS HELP ME IN GIVING A WARM WELCOME TO YOUR FIRST-FAR-FROM-GUEST-BLOGGER, GRANT KLEIN…
Danny, Steve and myself consider each other to be amongst the most brilliant, enlightened, and captivating people around.
THE END.
I’M KIDDING.
SORT OF.
Truth is, our jokes are getting old, (although, we’re in fact getting younger – it’s very similar math to when Danny says there’s 1 minute left in a workout), our inspirational calls to be #weatherproof when we’ve had the moderatest winter in recorded history (ever since Steve started his PhD in recording mildly interesting things through science), and Kaelan can’t decide if it would be a funny joke to write, Kaelan’s too pretty to write blogs or if people would think she’s lost her mind, this isn’t a diary you can’t just write how pretty you are.
