One big awesome bounce – Guest blog [MTL]

Guest Blog by Jeremy Ullman & Jacob Grover – Week 1 of #DudeWhereIsMyCoLead?

On this bright and beautiful Wednesday morning (well it was raining but the smiles were bright) we bounced as one. One Big. Awesome. Bounce.

It’s been a special week: the incredible, irreplaceable Milana visited her extended family back home in the Winnipeg tribe and left Derek to lead with two all-star MTL tribe members: Jeremy Ullman and Jacob Grover. These young, aspiring lads were given the opportunity to spend a week in the life of a tribe leader, planning workouts and engaging in the social media experience. read more

Chuck Chicken and the Positivity Award [MTL]

WISCONSIN NOTES:

  • NP Summit 5.0 last weekend was EPIC! Witnessed amazing things and got our asses kicked by Wachusett Mountain. Happy to see NPMTL tribe members at the party. RESPECT.
  • Chuck Chicken made an appearance at our workout this morning in Montréal. He is now learning French.
  • NPMTL hands out our second positivity award to our tribe member Sulay. CONGRATS!

So tell us MONTRÉAL, how did you like that workout today? It was tough but your PRESENCE made it all that more easy. Maybe some of you might say that partner sit-ups in an incline is not fun, we had a laugh looking at you guys struggling not to slip 🙂

Seriously though, you guys crushed it today. We had all the right ingredients to start the day with a BOOM: the sun, the “not too hot” weather, smiles, hugs, dogs, laughter, sarcasm, Chuck Chicken, burpees, and ice for our friend Jeremy. More importantly, I feel that when we chose to wake up early, lace our sneakers and #justshowup at a November Project workout, we collectively choose to forget all our worries, stresses, deadlines and focus on the 40-minute workout on hand. In this connected world we live in, taking the time to live in the present has become more and more of a challenge…but I don’t feel that during our workouts. read more

FRIDAY PARKING & Transportation Info for Summit 5.0

Q: WHERE DO I PARK? A: OPEN this Google Map

HOW DO I GET TO THE STADIUM? HOW DO I GET AROUND?

If you find yourself asking these questions, let’s thank our local transportation guru Ari Ofsevit for compiling the following info.  Read as much or as little as you want (it gets really fucking detailed down at the bottom, and in the middle, and pretty much everywhere) but definitely read the part about parking for the Friday morning workout at Harvard.  And give yourself LOTS of extra time to get to the stadium.   read more

Toilet paper rolls: a tribe divided [MTL]

WISCONSIN NOTES:

  • SUNSHINE. GUYS. I SWEAR.
  • NP Summit 5.0 happening this weekend! Run.Party.Repeat. Details here.
  • Call of Valhalla obstacle race/escape room team + volunteering (i.e. if you volunteer then your entry fee is covered). We’re putting in a team. Hit us up if you want in.

This morning the tribe really brought it. Everyone worked hard, everyone tabata-ed the shit out of those 3-foot cement stairs, everyone lay in the wet grass with pride. And yet no one brought it more than mother nature herself who recruited the sunshine this AM and gave us that warm, reassuring, glow – to announce to us that summer is here. #recruiteverything read more

Changing Gears

Hey Everyone!!!

Kyle here and I figured I would update everyone on why I’m not going to be at summit this next weekend.

Right now I’m in North Sydney, Nova Scotia. I am a week into my cross Canada cycling trip across the country and there wasn’t an opportunity to stop this without throwing off my whole course. read more

The Sounds of #NPSUMMIT Weekend

This email serves as a pre-thanks to the two DJ’s who are going to be holding it down for the NPSUMMIT. Number one is local legend Laura Ingles of Boston. Number two is new-kid-on-the-block and Co-Leader of November Project Virginia Beach Barry Clark. Laura will host the rise & shine beatdown inside the Harvard Stadium that will open the weekend early Friday morning and Barry will bring down the house at The Lawn On D Street on Saturday night, which will close the weekend. If you’re thinking, “I don’t know much about all of this that you speak of, this “N..P.. Summit” and I really wish I could click here and find out more details.” I hope that you go back and click there. If you already know what’s up, continue onward/below. read more

Say FROMAGE [MTL]

WISCONSIN NOTES:

  • This morning we shot Nerds vs. Jocks themed #yearbookphotos. To be released worldwide on June 6th. #feelhype
  • This morning we learned fun facts. #feelsomuchhype
  • This morning we got further excited about NP5UMMIT coming up June 9th – 11th in Boston. #feeltheabsolutemosthype

What a swell day to be alive and to bounce around the Old Port wearing suspenders and baseball caps.

Our first Yearbook Photos session was a raging success thanks to Savannah, who always has our backs (and makes our fronts look hella good). The pictures will be officially dropped on June 6th along with the yearbook photos of all 40+ other November Project tribes in this wonderful world of ours. But let me tell ya, from a first pass looking at these pictures, we look damn good. I mean, full-on geeks and weirdos for having outdoor adult costumed photo shoots, but damn good. read more

HBD city of Montréal [MTL]

WISCONSIN NOTES/NOTES DU WISCONSIN:

  • This gorgeous city that we call home turned 375 today, despite not looking a day over 374.
  • Justin Trudeau was 100 metres from us and didn’t even come do a single push-up. How rude.
  • Pop-up workout (featuring donuts/coffee and prizes) at Maison de la Course Griffintown this Saturday at 9:29am
  • NP Summit June 9th-11th. Let us know if you need help finding a ride or accommodations. Details here.
  • Heather is POSITIVE.
  • Next week is yearbook photos – Nerds vs. Jocks edition so dress accordingly.

HAPPY FECKIN’ BIRTHDAY VILLE DE MONTREAL, YOU BEAUTIFUL MAGNIFICENT CREATURE.

Today we celebrated you, in all your glory, by doing 375 reps of approximately everything. Although our arms are now too jello to raise our glasses to you, please imagine figurative raising. We’ll try again tomorrow when sensation has returned. On a related note, whose idea was it to run a 375 metres sprint…twice? And yet, somehow all of these beautiful people still had smiles on their faces. Now that’s the good stuff. read more

Hugs, smiles… and donuts [MTL]

Wisconsin Notes / Notes du Wisconsin

  • Wicked workout yesterday morning and our first official tagging session – with new city tag followed by an awesome NP evening at The North Face Montréal who had NP MTL over for some drinks, food – including donuts:) – and a shop night.
  • Preparations have started for NP Summit June 9th – 11th in Boston. 2017: tagging, setting yearbook picture date and generating ideas for the Let’s Rise theme at the NP5UMMIT Party. Bring it on!!
  • This week’s blog post is only in French 🙂 So take out your French textbooks from grade school and dive back into the langue of Molière.

L’entraînement de cette semaine fut électrifiant! Nous avons pu faire voir aux nouveaux membres comment nous aimons travailler fort, se donner des câlins et suer ensemble toujours avec une touche de folie! Le tout a commencé avec un « bounce » hors de l’ordinaire – spécialement conçu pour les nouveaux venus – qui a mis le sourire sur le visage de tous. Nous sommes tellement chanceux d’avoir une tribu aussi géniale comme la nôtre. Nos idées sont souvent farfelues mais quand même tout le monde embarque! read more
