This is a story of boy meets workout. The boy, Wayne Warrington, of Phoenix, Arizona, grew up believing that he’d never truly be happy until the day he felt “the burn.” This belief stemmed from early exposure to ’80s film montages and a total misreading of Suzanne Somers’ Thighmaster infomercials. The workout, November Project, also of Phoenix, did not share this belief. Since its inception, it has stood for two things. The first was a fun, grueling workout with no pretense of exclusivity. The second was accountability. Wayne meets November Project in July 2015. He knows almost immediately it is what he has been searching for. This is a story of boy meets workout. But you should know up front, this is not a love story.
Wisconsin Notes
- We have eyes and ears everywhere, Wayne
- Keep up the #NPlovesAZ, uhh, love! Get some posts out on Instagram and/Twitter to show other tribes what we’re doing to explore our community
- Southwest Collision Course is coming the weekend of September 16-17! We will be running and camping, Ragnar Trail-style, with tribes from LA and San Deigo. This is FREE aside from whatever supplies you need to survive the weekend. More details coming shortly.
Wayne’s birthday is July 24. He is celebrating by camping at the Mogollon Rim with friends, kayaking and climbing. November Project celebrated by featuring him on their Tuesday hype post.
The workout set off as scheduled. Waves of laughter bounced off the buttes, hugs flocked like the salmon of Capistrano, stairs gorged themselves on schools of shins, and the news chopper drifted lazily above to capture the beauty of a desert ballet. Bodies flowed along the stairs, movement interrupted only by passionate waterfalls of exercise.
Yet Wayne was adrift, failing to show despite being prominently featured as the day’s figurehead. Let this be a reminder to those featured in the hype posts: that counts as a #verbal. We don’t take to kindly to broken #verbals.
