Five short years ago, two towering rowers had a couple of pints…
… and some hearty banter over these pints led to a verbal commitment between these two, that they would work out outdoors every day of a cold Boston November…
… this led to a Google Doc called the “November Project”…
… and this soon became the spark for the boys to create something bigger from this. “Fuck it, what if show up here to Harvard Stadium every Wednesday and hype it. Will other people show?”…
… this led to that first person showing up…
… and the second…
… and the third…
… soon became 10s and 20s and 100s of people showing up to the Harvard Stadium…
… but then people moved away to other cities, and missed what they had there back on the steps…
… soon we had Tribes in Madison, in Edmonton, here in San Francisco…
… 1 became 3 became 7 became 10…
… some friends came along and helped us to grow (shout out to Dooster, to Caleb, to Runner’s World and The North Face)…
… we moved to Europe and to Asia (where next?)…
… people found friends. They found new sports and passions. They found girlfriends, boyfriends, partners, husbands and wives. Yes people, there was and there will be babies!
There’s so much we need to be thankful towards BG and Bojan for that faithful month back in 2011, and everything they have done for this community since. Thankful for all of the co-leaders. For every member of this thriving community that sets that early AM and wakes up and get their city moving. Let’s keep changing our cities one burpee at a time!
Friday Hills. Tank Hill. Pin to drop tomorrow!
