Ok, so we didn’t add any Mexican spice to our workout today. I usually go with a bit of chili powder, cumin, garlic (fresh or powder), and cinnamon. Yes, cinnamon. It always throws people for a loop but I swear by it. I promise it fits. But I digress.

This month, if you didn’t see our last blog post, will be filled with MAYhem. This is not your average Fight Club Project Mayhem kind of stunts…it’s better. It begins with your HOMEWORK. It’s HIGH FLYING CRAZINESS. We want to see what you can do. Just make sure you do it and post it to the Facebook page by 6:29AM this WEDNESDAY. Need more details? . read more

We like to November Project (the verb). This month, November Projecting might involve some mayhem. This might lead the general DC public to believe a Fight Club has erupted in the city. This might cause rumors to fly. This might lead to increased NP attendance. This might lead to increased awesomeness. This WILL lead to WORLD TAKEOVER. read more

That’s how the saying goes, right? Obviously it had to rain on the last day of April. If it didn’t, I’d question Ma Nature’s sense of humor. She’s done pretty good so far. Actually, so good that we haven’t had a PR week without interesting weather. Know what I have to say about that? GOOD. I like it that way. We’re the real deal and that wouldn’t be true if we didn’t have to overcome at least a little adversity. Make sure you tell people. We aren’t a cult. We aren’t Fight Club. We aren’t a running club. But the world better get ready for NOVEMBER PROJECT. Remember: first rule is tell everyone you know about NP. read more

There are some days you get up because you have to. Other times because your friend says you have to. And still other times because you know you’re getting something good out of it. Last time I checked, November Project can be lumped in to all three categories. And the something good you get out of it? Well if you #JustShowUp, you’ll know what we’re talking about. Sure we get fit and sculpt the best looking asses/abs/calves/arms in DC. But that’s just the bonus. We even get to see the best sunrises this city has to offer. That’s just the reward for rising and shining. The good, no the great, no the mutha effin fantastic part about NP is the people. Come to #NP_DC and you get to hang out with happy, good-looking, ready-to-hug people that will tickle your ear, stare you down, maybe even cup your ass (if you let them) and tell you that they’re glad you came. read more

So we officially Arnold Schwarzeneggered Teddy Roosevelt Island this morning. This is a new verb. We all loved the location so much that we’ve decided We’ll Be Back at some point. There’s the option for like 27 gajillion different workouts there.

The vibe in DC is going strong. Real Strong. Boston Strong. We sent off one of our Boston marathoners today and psychically wish the other a great race. Be sure to look out for Clayton Kolb and Brennan Mullaney and track them on the course! read more

Mondays are DOPE. If you haven’t been yet, it was only our second week today so you still have time to be cool and sneak in to the Monday crowd. Don’t miss out on a killer hill workout every week that will make you so fast your shoes will fall off. Great work to those this morning that showed everyone else how little fun we’re having: read more

The more people complain about how hard stairlamanders are, the more we like them. Ok, now that I got that out of my system, let’s get a quick recap of today’s blooming Friday location.

I had one of those nightmares this morning that I showed up late to an NP workou…..oh wait, that happened. I probably ran my fastest mile time ever trying to get there on time and then I get stopped at two lights for at least a minute. DON’T THEY KNOW I HAVE SOMEWHERE TO BE? PEOPLE TO HUG? SMILES TO MANUFACTURE? We’re still working on getting some sway with the traffic patterns but my guess is that if Mother Nature won’t cooperate all the time, neither will anything else. But guess what. I trained for this. I trained for life. This is where it all comes to fruition. And then I still show up right when my boy Danny is explaining the workout to confused faces. What else is new? I promise, we’re getting better at explaining workouts. None of it matters. We jump right in. We kick ass. We stairlamander (yes it’s a verb now. Thanks MSN tribe). We hop. We have a boat race. We take pictures by the beautiful cherry blossoms. But the best part hasn’t happened yet. We take a final group picture with a couple that recently got engaged. AND THEY LOVED IT. ALL SMILES. read more

So much happened at #NP_DC today that we’re just going to give you what we like to call:

WISCONSIN NOTES

– Monday happened this week. There was no blog post because we were so hyped up about it that we forgot to write one. From here on out, we hug and smile harder three days a week

– We have the best looking asses in DC read more

The more I think about it, November Project is like Braveheart. The leaders convince the tribespeople that against all odds (and weather) they can do anything. Whether it’s facing a bitter English army in a Scottish revolt or working out in sub-zero (°F) temperatures, you are as strong as you want to be. Here in DC, we’ve upgraded from crazy yahoos to ZESTY MANIACS (props to our kickass visitors on Wednesday). We’ve made it through the harsh winter and the exposed skin is coming out. It’s time to get weird, get crazy, show DC how much fun they are missing out on. SPREAD THE FOMO. Get DC to loosen their ties, belts, and shoelaces (actually, keep those tied…that’s dangerous). read more
