Wisconsin Notes:
- 90% of the photos I took yesterday are blurred. I’m going to upload them anyway.
- We gave the gift of burpees yesterday and it was awesome.
- Winter has come. Read more for details.
After a few false starts winter is finally here, and I don’t think that that is all bad. Winter is when we decide who we want to be. When we have the chance to forge ourselves anew. It’s easy to roll over and go back to sleep in the mornings: getting up and getting out takes determination and grit. Making that decision to say “no, I’m going to do this” even when it’s cold and dark and you’re cocooned in blankets like a human burrito takes stubbornness and courage. You have to be willing to step outside of your comfort zone and test your limits. You have to want that workout, those hugs, that big FUCK YEAH and that connection to this community more than you want to stay in bed. Layering up and defying the darkness, facing winter down, takes a special kind of madness.
If that isn’t for you, if you’d rather stay in bed through the winter, that’s cool. We’ll be there at the top of the Steps to welcome you with open arms once it’s warmer. But those of you who are up for this, who do make it to the Steps week in, week out through this ‘traditional Canadian winter’ that we’re apparently expecting, are in for a treat. You’ll learn things about Michelle and I, about each other, and most importantly about yourselves. If you can #justshowup in weather like this, what else can you do? Set your goals, and march relentless towards them in the coming weeks and months. No half measures (and dress smartly so that there is no frostbite either).
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
- Summit 5.0 has been announced. You’ve probably already seen about that.
- If you ordered a buff, we’re expecting to have them sometime in January. See @novemberprojectcan on Instagram for a sneak preview of the design.
- We’re going to do some sort of Christmas Day workout. It won’t be an official workout, but there’ll be burpees and you’re all invited. Message us for details if you want to join us.
- I think I was supposed to talk about more things but I don’t remember what.
