Editor’s comment: T&T nearly gave Laura & Paddy a heart attack this morning when they told us they both slept in. Well played, lads!
And thanks for looking after the Tribe. When we asked both of you to lead it, we all became instantly jealous that we wouldn’t be there to join in the fun. And take it away, Tod!
When we received our assignment to lead the Memorial Day workout, we knew we had our work cut out for us. We had to make it special. Because you’re special and you deserve special things. So fresh off his yoga teacher graduation, Tantek ironed out the most spectacular workout Fort Mason had ever seen. Inspired by NP members past and present, and fueled by the unbridled love of our leaders, he churned out “Buck PLZ,” a joyous partner romp across varying terrains and landscapes with roots dating back to Jessica Huffman, revived through Buck. Partners faced off, running one of 3 paths memorializing our beloved co-leaders, whilst partners performed body-weight exercises that fit those ideals.
P for Paddy included a P-shaped trail run that ran the risk of finding its runners lost on the course, which is very on brand for Paddy. Happily, no one got lost. We assume this is because Paddy himself didn’t run the course. Partners implemented squat kicks and fire-hydrant-style leg raises.
L for Laura’s course flawlessly illustrated the golden gal’s affinity for fast and flats: L-shaped sprints that set pavement ablaze. Voom. Comrades produced stanky legs and speed skaters to the fresh and fiery beats of resident DJ, Haute Toddy.
Z for Zip alum soared down a Z-shaped staircase and powered right back up it. Twice. Because we are not your average athletes. We are free-fitness, grassroots he-, she-, and they-beasts. The significant others swoled up on push-ups and deep-cutting core-eography. Because strength. That’s why. At the end of the day, united as family, we watched the sunrise with tears in our eyes knowing that we had given more of ourselves today than we knew we had. Stronger together. With our leading babes in our hearts.
Until next time,
T&T
