Happy Birthday, Harry Potter.

Good Morning, Brooklyn.

(Cue the Harry Potter Intro Music)

Here with a quick recap from today here in Ft. Greene Park:

Monument Stations – Harry Potter Edition. We’ll own it, todays moves and times (THREE MINUTES? MINUTE AND A HALF? NO, THREE MINUTES!) weren’t the best. Next time will be better – and most likely, on the grass. read more

Counting to TEN and JULY PR’s – 7.18.18

Welcome back to your Weekly Wednesday Workout recap – see below:

ONE MORE LAP. ONE MORE LAP.
  • 5:30AM CREW: We had 5 humans #WakeUpTheSun by the names of Jess, Reva, Jeremy, Dan, and Remi. These lucky five got to join me (you’re welcome) with testing out a NEW PR WORKOUT which will debut in AUGUST. You can ask them and they have been sworn to secrecy… besides what we shared on the inter webs through our Strava’s…
  • NEWBIES: THREE (two for Sarah, one for Tara) by the names of Dante, Matthew, and James.
  • BOUNCE: We warmed up our legs and our vocal chords with counting squats from 1 – 10 (proud of everyone)
  • #PRDAY WORKOUT: Our 3.2(ISH)K / 8 lap, loop-de-loop course has been holding it down since our pledge days. Our newbie Dante broke it in with a close to record time of 20:35 and our fastest lady of the day, Diane, finished with a 23:40 for the morning. Crushin’ it.

Announcements were as follows:

Birthdays (BEST DAYS): We celebrated Grace with 4 RESOUNDING ‘Birthday Booms’ and she in turn invited us to her born-day bar meet-up. NBD. Upcoming Races:
  • This weekend (SAT 7/21): the NYRR training series kicks off for the TCS NYC Marathon with the Central Park 12-Miler

Recruiting In July

Hey tribe,

As was mentioned last week, July is a month that we have identified to launch a recruiting challenge. The rules will be explained further down, but the notion or intention that I want to really land with you all, is that recruiting should never stop.

Think about it. Think about the fact the Brooklyn was the 40th tribe to come on board for November Project. Forty. Thirty-nine other tribes came on before us, and the only reason that happened is because the cities and tribes before them spread the word. And the people before them talked about it with complete strangers. And the people before them posted about it on social media. And the people before them (we may have gotten to the beginning of this bread-crumb, jump down the rabbit hole analogy), two guys in particular – decided that they both would commit to showing up for the other. And, kept showing up. read more

Crack. Sizzle. Boom. 7/4/18

Well, well, well. Another Wednesday in the books! If this isn’t the best day of your week YET, today may have proved that wrong.

Here’s what went down in Brooklyn to kick off the a little mid-week holiday here in the states; Independence Day.

MONUMENT STATIONS:

  • We split the tribe into 5 groups for 5 stations
    • (4th) Started at LOOPS: Sprint uphill, jog downhill. Then, reverse.
    • (J) Started at ARMS: Partner Push-Ups x 4 then switch partners, then Jumping-Jacks.
    • (U) Started at LEGS: HOISTEES x 4 then switch partners, then Lunges.
    • (L) Started at CORE: Partner Leg Throws x 7 then switch partners, then Super Humans.
    • (Y) Started at TOTAL BODY: BOJANS x 7 then switch partners, then Star Jumps.
    We put the timer on the clock for 2-3 mins / station
    • Round 1: Learn the moves and get to know your group.
    • Round 2: Crush the moves and motivate your group.
    BURNOUT…
    • Round 1: Egg. Toss.
    • Round 2: Water. Balloon. Fight.

    Special thanks to Abby, Dan, Reid, Jeremy, Remi aka Snack Extraordinaire for bringing the FOURTH to life. read more

Roll the dice, lucky (funny) Valentine.

Good morning, Brooklyn 😬

I love you.
You love me.
We’re an NP Family.
With a big group hug.
And a hi-five from me to you,
Won’t you say you love me, too?!
X2

Today’s workout went a little something like this…

#SpreadLove aka The Newbies: Alex, Eden (met the NP_NYC tribe snowtubing on Saturday), and Eliza from last week who missed the newb intro.

#Bouce aka The Weird: (please grab your nearest stuffed animal and read the picture caption above to the tune of “I Love You,” from the TV show with everyone’s favorite purple dinosaur—Barney. read more
