Facebook kindly let Michelle and I know that we became Facebook friends exactly three years ago today. It seems fitting that this should fall on a November Project morning. We became friends through running, but that friendship has been undeniably strengthened by stair sprints in the snow and burpees in the rain. Since that fateful day in May 2014, we have accumulated 287 mutual friends on Facebook, a tangible reminder of how many people fitness has brought us into contact with, not just within Toronto, but all across the world courtesy of our ever-growing November Project community. Less easy to quantify are the memories that we have created in these past three years, the chances that we have taken and the opportunities that we have been given.
Early morning workouts in the depths of winter, trail races at the height of summer, afternoons spent on patios or planning workouts. Fitness has given us this and more: it has given us all of you, and that is something worth celebrating. Here’s to the next three crazy years and beyond!
IMPORTANT STUFF:
- Will you be in Ottawa next weekend for race weekend? Keep your eyes peeled for info about a Saturday meetup with NP Ottawa.
- Long weekend Monday morning – long workout. Allow like two hours, plus extra time for brunch if you ant that. Meet at the top of the Baldwin Steps at 8am, and be prepared to run roughly 10km as part of the workout. We will not spend the whole time at the Steps, so be prepared to run with whatever you bring with you.
- See someone new at a workout? Bear hug them.
- Recruitment drive /June challenge and ECSON info coming soon. Watch this space!
- Yearbook Photos – dropping June 6th. Get hyped.
