HAPPY RACE DAY!!!!!!!!!!!
Spring has [somewhat] sprung, and so has NP Indy! Dishing out (shhhhhh)irts today, we were worried we’d run out with the solid #raceday numbers that showed, which is a good problem to have. Aside from faster times, greater numbers, more than one person wearing sleeveless shirts and shorts, and less laundry, spring also provides us with a wonderful opportunity to grow our tribe. It’s the time of year where people are craving the outdoors, wanting to get moving again, and most notably looking for sweaty hugs from strangers. Fortunately, we can provide all those things.
I know for a fact (personal knowledge admissible in court) our leaders are working harder than ever to make sure they bring unique, top notch, ass-kicking workouts amid an atmosphere you can’t replicate elsewhere. And we’re getting help from people like Tory Dube on the social meeds and Jaden Brown on the pics (among other tremendous helpers) to ensure we can guarantee great workouts week in and week out. Our goal is to consistently provide you guys with workouts that are obscure yet high intensity enough that NP becomes something you want to talk to others about, to encourage others to join. Shaw and I work on commission, and we also work on salary, and also hourly, and also as volunteers, all for the same rate. So for us the numbers are about making a community impact, plain and simple. I realized this past Friday evening–one of those nights where it’s sightly warm so the city’s population seems to grow 12X it’s winter size–that there are just a ridiculous amount of un-infiltrated pockets of recruitable people around Indy. I look at those numbers as an opportunity; the more of you we reach through NP, the more rewarding it is for us and the more driven we are to make this thing fucking awesome!
But more on recruiting next week. This week it’s about celebrating another successful Race Day and dishing out shout-outs to the fantastic helping hands we have left and right and elsewhere (picturing multi-armed Hindu goddess) [ps: we readily accept help when and where we can].
Shaw’s bounce got people so pumped they Scooby-Doo-skedaddling-from-a-ghost’ed right out of their shirts [if one person can picture where my mind’s eye is on that, I’m happy; fuck it, I’m happy regardless]
Notes (law review article’s worth of footnote citations below; this shit’s better reading tho… much better.)
- Thanks a TON to the paint crew today! Tom Hale and Anne Camille Jongleux woke up and showed up just to run the graffiti show; big props! Give them some ridiculous hugs next time you see ’em.
- Jaden Brown was killing it on the pic front, as usual. He ran his race day during the little known 5:00a workout (led his own bounce, made his own announcements) so he could take pics at both workouts and help sort shirt sizes. Thank you thank you, Jaden!
- Friday’s workout will be at the north end of the canal (canal cul-de-sac); show up and be ready to kick some ass.
- Tory Dube requires a shout-out in here too, without a doubt. Tory has shouldered the task of running (and majorly upping) our social media game…hence the sweet looking graphics, videos, artistic croppings, etc. Thanks so much, Tory!
- April brings with it another Sister City Challenge between, betwixt, among, and amongst us here in Indy and our sister tribe out in San Fran! Sign up, and we’ll take care of putting you on a team (teams of 5, two min of plank/day/team member, 300 min/team total).
- Wear those Kelsey Gergen designed shirts with pride (but keep it quiet online–says the guy writing this online blog post–so other tribes get the joy of a free gift and the disappointment of incorrect sizes too)! They look awesome! We have men’s XL and women’s S (aka XXS) left for those without; anyone have a beer-bellied husband and a newborn?
- Props to Cara Williams Underwood for what was a Race Day PR and what’s clearly going to result in cape ceremony. She destroyed her old record by 2 min…and did so with a smile on her face. #toughstairsnocares
- Anyone still interested in the No Coast Summit in Milwaukee April 22 needs to let us know (text, call, FB, smoke signals) by Friday. It’s going to be a ramblin’, ragin’, rowdy raucous [can I use raucous as a noun? #syntacticalerrorsnocares]!
Take on a challenge this week. Get out of your comfort zone. Feel a little vulnerable. And grow from it. We do it weekly as leaders, so I can vouch for that sense of growth. You guys kicked some Race Day ass this morning; Have a great Wednesday!
