#MILE7

Set the scene… New York City, the first Sunday of November – November 1st 2015

Buzz, Buzz, Buzzzzzzz. It’s 4:00am and your alarm clock is going off. You look at the clock, you look at it again, you look at it one more time and decide it’s time. It’s not your typical #WAKEUPTHESUN kinda day; you roll out of bed in sleepy excitement and after twenty minutes of composing yourself, you’re out the door making moves because #NOSLEEPTILLBROOKLYN. Following the advice of your fearless leaders, Nina and Jackie, you layer, and layer, and layer again to near stay puft marshmallow status, #warmth. Most of NYC is still sleeping, soon to be awakened, but even at this quiet time there’s an indescribable energy rolling through the streets. As you get closer to your destination, that deep rooted feeling is now a defined pulse and you’re at the helm steering it. read more

Jen Wants Jazz Hands.. Jen Gets Jazz Hands

Today was awesome. Today we found our inner compass. We found inner peace. We found out that no matter how far you travel – (North, East, South, or West) – You always come back home.. and then you plank until your friends get back.

We also found out that the sunrise is getting later? Oh No! That means that fall is around the corner. This also means that the sunrises during the workout will be more EPIC. It also means that we will be literally waking up the sun for real (#wakeupthesun). It also means football, back to school (shopping), and pumpkin flavored everything is right around the corner. Giddy Up. read more

Saylor Twift (VB)

I think I speak for the tribe when I say today was a special day. Today felt different. Good different. I’m not sure if it was the heat (over 80 degrees), the smell of fresh spray paint in the morning (#Grassrootsgear), or the fact that we unveiled a new workout the “Saylor Twift”.  All while listening to Taylor Swifts beautiful voice. All before 7AM. read more

    Positivity Award Meet Kelsey (VB)

    Meet Kelsey.  Not only is she the sweetest girl in the group, she’s also been part of the tribe since it was just a small number of people pledging to become an official November Project city. She is always super positive, energetic and constantly has a huge smile on her face (hence why she received the award). In other words, she’s kind of a baller. Did I mention her smile is super contagious?  I could go on….but let’s have her tell you why she loves November Project so much: read more

    That Was Easy… (VB)

    Wake up. Get dressed. Brush your teeth. Get in your car. Drive to Mount Trashmore. Very little thinking involved. It’s early, no one likes to turn on their brains until a. they’ve had coffee or b. their boss asks them a question and they have to respond for fear of being fired.

    This morning situation is pretty standard for most November Project groupies. Unless, however, you are running the workout.  What seemed so simple and straightforward in your head the night before is now coming out like jibberish or a foreign dialect of pig latin when trying to explain the workout to the group. “Run from cone A to cone C but don’t forget to stop at cone B and do 15 pushups” ends up coming out WAY more complicated leaving NPers with looks of concern and confusion. read more
