NPSF has had an influx of newbies the last 4 weeks, with numbers higher than we have ever had before, numbers higher than Laura can actually count. But the real test of consistency will come next week…the week AFTER PR Wednesday. There was sweat. There were tears. There were sweaty men crying in the corner, therefore owning both categories. But you all survived, and that’s important, because Laura doesn’t ever want a lawsuit. She will just run away. FRIDAY HILLS: Aquatic Park, in the Marina, 6:23 AM. read more

Is that my alarm? Is it time to wake up? Could I pull off a 15 minutes snooze? Should I wear the short shorts or the shorter shorts? Do I have time for a beer? Did I remember my keys? Should I take Pacific or Clay? Can I really hear Sam Livermore from the Financial District? Am I pulling off this hat? Did McCloskey say Gough and Sacramento or Gough and Washington? Is this hill ever going to end? Is there a man sleeping in that pile of trash? Is that the Tribe? Are the numbers down? Where is everyone? Is it Friday? Is it 6:30 am? Did we choose a bad location? Was the tribe still sore from Huffman’s? Did people finally get sick of looking at my white upper man thigh? Is it possible that people don’t actually like getting up at 6:30am to run hills? Where is Laura? Am I going to have to lead this workout alone? Have I seen that girl on Tinder? Is it time to start the workout? Have I been practicing my leadership voice enough? Should I lead everyone up the stairs? Would Kenny Wong and Josh Zipin ever want to, you know, like, hang out, maybe grab a beer sometime? Should I lead the tribe to the center of the park? Do I hear voices? IS THAT F*&$ING FITMOB? Wait, do I know those people? Is THAT where the rest of the tribe was? Do I hear WHAM!? Is that Laura? Are there more than 60 of us now? Is Bill Wheeler wearing shorter shorts than me? Are we going to piss off that boxing club? Does Andy Cochrane ever get tired? How many laps is that? Did I start my watch? Should I yell FIRE DRILL? Did anyone hear me just yell fire drill? Has it been 25 minutes yet? Should we start the finisher tunnel? Should I run through the finisher tunnel? Is it weird if I ask Bill where he got his shorts? Should we take a picture now? Will the newbies come back to us? Do I really have to go to work now? Is November Project the best part of my day? Yes. read more

Has anyone seen Dan Clayton? Last we know he was running towards Ocean Beach, November Project backpack bouncing up and down, singing along to Shania Twain’s “I feel like a woman” and giggling uncontrollably. All of this may sound relatively normal, except Clayton lives in North Beach.  We hope you make it home alright, Dan. read more

As we all collected in Dolores Park this morning, an interesting observation was made. We were not alone. Just about every other boot camp in the city was setting up their selected station of the park for their morning workout. Seeing as though Clayton and Laura never quite know what is going on, or what the rules of the park are, we decided to instead just wake up all the sleeping neighbors and bust out some vicious hill repeats. Clayton sported his new Go Pro with no SD card in it so we got…nothing. No footage at all. See? We never know what’s going on. After the workout we gathered at the top of the park for a dance off pants off party where everyone got naked then ran through the park where all the boot camps were finishing their workout, ending with a nice brunch in the Mission. Only part of that is true, we didn’t actually go to brunch. read more

Somewhere just beyond the crest of North China Hill, there’s a magical little place where Rebecca Daniels takes unsuspecting – erm – “gentleman acquaintances” for hour long sunset make-out sessions. She thought she was the only one who knew about it… she was wrong. At 6:30am sharp, NPSF set out due west from Vallejo and Powell St. for a hill / stair session that produced just as much sweat, heavy breathing, and tears as making out with Rebecca Daniels. Wow, three sentences Clayton? That’s how long it takes you to get extremely inappropriate? Come on… read more

San Francisco has finally passed the 100 mark! It has been a long road, from the early days at Kezar Stadium, to the angry neighbors at…well…almost everywhere we go. But we have finally collected 100 twisted souls to meet us for a morning workout that will surely make you go home and question your own sanity. read more
