Free Fitness Movement. All you need to do is show up!
We made
it guys, it’s almost 2017. By the looks of it Sam (left) is pretty damn excited about escaping the icy grasp of 2016.
I was thinking about writing a long post about everything we have done this year, about how many people have come through our workouts, how many hugs have been given out, how many ounces of positivity was bottled. But instead, I think i’m gonna talk about the future and what we have to look forward to. Then i’m going to ask for your minds.
This morning was about breaking outside of your comfort zone, making some new friends (HOPEFULLY) and working hard to try to finish the workout. Just to make sure we kept things moving the sleigh bells burnout added some fun (read: pain). I saw people pushing themselves to keep up other people and others who were learning that this wild November Project ride moves pretty fast and you need to pace yourself.
Today was a foggy morning. It’s mornings like these, spooky, gloomy days where completing a workout ( especially P.R day) makes you feel just a bit more awesome than the not-sweaty dude standing in front of you in line for your coffee.
Colin Marshall weighs in. If you don’t know him, he’s the sprightly young fellow who somehow managed to open his own brewery here in Baltimore and probably freaked you out with his enthusiasm this morning ( or any morning). He keeps it short and sweet. Get ready to party at his brewery, Diamondback, December 9’th for our third annual City Glow event!
Dudes and Dudettes,
I’m going to start with all of the important information and then move on to whatever it is I end up meandering on about. It may be nothing, we’ll find out when we get there.
Otherwise, just stay tuned for more fun events coming. As many of you have seen, the NP film will be dropping in the month of November and we will be doing an advanced screening as a community. Date and location to be decided but we will let you know as soon as we can. ALSO! CityGlow will be happening again this year…but again, TBD Y’ALL!
“I’m going to keep this very short. Like…really really short. No wasted words. It’s going to be so short. You’ve never seen a blog so short, that’s how short it’s going to be. I write the shortest blogs. All of my friends always read them and say, “Nick, your blogs are so short, WOW!” No one writes a shorter blog than me…no one!” – Nick Rod declaring his candidacy
Today was a big day in the NP community. We brought on two new tribes ( London and Amsterdam…welcome to the squad), hit massive numbers in Baltimore ( What’s the deal with 6:30 only having 30 more people than 5:30? SLEEP PEOPLE! But yeah 200+ people is pretty rad) and handed out a whole bunch of sweet, outdated shirts. More importantly, however, we passed off the positivity award to another important person, our girl Jess. Jess has been haunting the halls of November Project for months now and is a wonderfully weird, incredibly positive force. Read her blog post. Get to know her….after all, this is what NP is all about. (Also, she’s funny as shit).
Guys we know this morning was pretty wild. You may still be recovering. So in an effort to distill this morning down to just a few essential points, I give you… *drumroll*….ahem…*drumroll* please. GUYS! I SAID DRUMROLL!!!! ….ok, I present….”a list of very important things“:
This is the week of Hashtags.
Lately we’ve had a lot of really important announcements, which leads to too much time staring at us but also less time doing burpees, complaining about how much we’re sweating ( It’s summer in Baltimore…” if it aint the heat, it’s the humility.”) I just want to make sure everyone knows what’s going on in the coming weeks.
The only important part is at the bottom but i’m going to make you scroll to get the announcements!
GUYS! Today was great. 5 small french bulldogs visited us and that was pretty cool.
However, once I wrote that down I realized I didn’t have a whole lot to say about this morning’s workout other than you guys all worked really freaking hard and I didn’t really do anything. Once I got home from the workout I attempted to do some work but really just ended up getting lost in a maze of old November Project videos. AND THEN I THOUGHT….why don’t I give the tribe a glimpse of what November Project was all about before we got all corporate and I was forced to say “November Project…’trade marked’ ” at least four times at every workout. (This blog was brought to you by our biggest corporate sponsor, TGI Fridays)
Summit was cool.

But we were pretty happy to come home.
There is a lot of really great stuff going on in the NP community across the globe. It’s an exciting time. But ultimately, we’re most fired up about what NP can do in our own city. In our home.
