The tribe was looking sharp AF for NP_IND Homecoming this morning with their finest dresses, suits, hats, corsages, boutonnières, batons, football jerseys, and other high school memorabilia (which would be suitable to bring to a national monument).
The Pep Rally:
After getting the day started with a little cheer medley, the tribe got right into the big game with a Hot Mess Workout.
The Big Game:
A tribe tradition, the Hot Mess is a partner workout that has one partner running “laps” up the south stairs to the gold door and back down, while the other partner does exercises on the south side walk. After rotating between burpees, flutter kicks, and push-ups the partners would switch who runs and who exercises. But, it wouldn’t be school if there weren’t fire drills….so every time the whistle blew we held a plank for 30 seconds before we got back into our normal routine.
And to wrap up the festivities we called our old friend Sally in for one last dance.
Class Notes:
- Folks came dressed to impress this morning!! Pretty dresses, suits, capes…you name it, we had it!!
- In true school sprit Andy (and his kids) made sure we had plenty of crowns to go around!
- The Gray girls (and family in general) never fail to be the most adorable damn thing in the world.
- Sarah Myer made sure that everybody on the south side of Indy had plenty of light to guide them into work before the sun came up with her bedazzled dress.
- The Spartan Crew (AHHHH!!!!) was not messing around this morning! With the costumes as hot as their energy, they made sure everybody got through…and with perfect form.
- Speaking of Spartan – I was REALLY impressed with how well the newbies caught on their intros which consisted of them saying their names to the Will Ferrell/Cheri O’teri Spartan Cheer. Quite the rhythmic group. Well done guys!
- Tom Hale – you are forever the Homecoming Hero in our books by being the dance photographer. Three cheers to you my friend!! Thanks.

Friday’s workout will be at the NORTH end of the Canal Walk (in front of IU Health).
Next week is Halloween so wear a costume!! It’s also RACE DAY which means its TAGGING DAY!! Bring some gear to get tagged before it gets too cold to tag. Too Cold to Tag was also the name of MC Hammer’s follow up to Too Legit To Quit. Not nearly as catchy and might explain how he went bankrupt.
Great job today team and we will see you all next week!!
