Were you wondering why we put labels on your back? Then we asked you not to find out what was on your on label but laugh make note and maybe keep an eye out for a particular label that said; Hi, I’m 10 burpees, or Hi, I’m hold plank while singing O Canada, or Hi, I’m 10 sprawls or 25 sits ups or 25 squats? Who were you? How did people respond to your name?
We planned this workout knowing that no one else has ever completed something like this before. Literally. We knew this workout would either be a flop or extremely epic. Good thing it was the latter. Good enough to wear your ribbon bracelet at work today, or for actual Canada day. People are going to ask about it and trying to explain what the workout was will be confusing and weird. But yet made so much sense when you were doing it. That’s kind of what happens when you tell people about November Project…. “it’s early, it’s free, it’s outside, and there are um… hugs and high fives… with strangers. They do a bounce thing and it’s kinda weird. But it’s so much fun. You should come!” Sometimes it may take multiple weeks of encouragement to get that friend out who is hesitant. But it is truly something one has to experience for themselves. Keep on them and hold them accountable to showing up!
This workout was another positive morning with wonderful people. We connected, we traded ribbon, we pushed ourselves to our own challenge by choice, we met some new people, gave a hug to a stranger and took a massive group photo.
Thank you for sharing your morning, your time and your energy with us. We are grateful to have another day to celebrate Canada Day with others, through movement, on the Supreme Court of Canada. Thank you to our ribbon distributers and name tag sharers.
Happy Wednesday!
O Canada
O Canada! Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all of us command.
Car ton bras sait porter l’épée,
Il sait porter la croix!
Ton histoire est une épopée
Des plus brillants exploits.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
