This is the blog post you’ve been looking forward to since the announcement was made that the 5th annual November Project Summit #NP5UMMIT is going down in Boston, MA. The weekend will start off with the stair workout at the iconic Harvard Stadium, followed by some serious trail racing at the North Face Endurance Challengeat Wachusett Mountain, and will commence with the most epic social of the year! I know, the word “epic” is overused in describing anything from fun to exciting, but if you’ve been NPSUMMIT4.0 you know what I’m talking about (even if you haven’t been you know what I’m talking about.) read more

Farewell, friend [MTL]

Wisconsin Notes:

  • Ben O’Meara. Forever remembered for his belly laugh and tight hugs. This isn’t a blog post to just glance at the Wisconsin notes and gloss over. Read this one.
  • The NorthFace/NP shop and hangout night. RSVP via Facebook
  • NP Summit June 9th – 11th in Boston. More details here

This weekend the tribe (no, not Montréal specifically, but rather, the global NP tribe) lost an amazing soul. This is Ben.

Ben was a core NP member who, before NP WOO was born, used to drive the hour and a half that it took to get to the Boston workouts at what we formally call “ass o’clock”. Not only was he an enormous supporter of the movement, but he also went out of his way to lift up every single human he met. read more

When cities collide – Guest blog by Work it YOW [MTL]

WISCONSIN NOTES:

  • The first edition of the Mtl vs Ott Fit Off was a banging success. Duh.
  • Guest blog by the lovely folk of Work it YOW.
  • Be there Wednesday.

Below are the beautiful sentiments of Work it YOW (Ottawa’s killer pledge tribe) on the afternoon of sweaty loving and good times that was shared.

“There has been so much excitement building up to this weekend’s fit off. What an awesome way to spend a Sunday meeting friends cross-provinces. We finally got those people out who aren’t tough enough for 6:29am start time. Luckily for them, they got to experience what it’s like to be #weatherproof– after three days of sunny and hot weather, the November Project Gods had to put us in our place and remember what we’re all about. So thank you for that. Those newbies got to experience what it’s like to be kinda badass. And was this group ever badass. I think there was more time spent on the ground with wet bums. on hands racing fearlessly for the retrieval of tennis balls during hungry hippos. Partner baseball diamond sprints rounding the bases got us sweating. Huckle buckle created tight relationships and hips-in opportunities or connecting less than comfortable body parts together with strangers. read more

April showers [MTL]

Wisconsin notes:

  • It’s still raining. And yet, lots of new faces, lots of stranger hugs.
  • City tag announced + tagging to start as soon as said ^ rain stops. Bring a shirt.
  • April 30th – #fitoff against Ottawa
  • Recruitment challenge was a success. Prizes were won. Bring friends and you will be showered in lulu gear, running shoes, and chocolate.
  • The North Face shop night – details below

First off, to explain what Wisconsin notes are:

Dan Graham (DG), the big bro of NP co-founder Brogan Graham and the only leader to have ever started 2 tribes (Madison and later Milwaukee), hated the long, rambly posts that his brother would write. He demanded quickie recaps at the top. Thus was born the Wisconsin note. read more

The Great Canadian Burpee Chump (YYZ)

As we explained at the workout this morning, we wanted to give Montreal the warmest welcome possible to the November Project family. So naturally, we asked them if they wanted to do a Sebastian with us. Seven minutes, as many reps as possible of burpees. What could be warmer than that?

From there, things escalated quickly. If we were doing it, it would be cool to get other tribes involved. Let’s get the other Canadian tribes to do a Sebastian too. Wait, let’s make it a competition. And from there, ‘The Great Canadian Burpee Chump’ was born. Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Kelowna, Victoria and Vancouver all going tete-a-tete, to see who could score the highest average number of burpees (Winnipeg also did a Sebastian this morning in support).  We also decided to recognise the highest single number of burpees, and thus crown the Burpee Chump. read more
