Free Fitness Movement. All you need to do is show up!
We said it this morning, and it bears repeating here — Sarah Waleszczak embodies everything that we love about November Project. She wears her grassroots gear with pride. She brings an infectious smile to every workout. She doles out A+ hugs. She jumps into every workout with a zest we should all strive for. She even laughs at our jokes!
Friday, January 12, was a warm, humid morning in DC. Uncharacteristic after a few biting, wintry days. We hosted a workout at Barry Farm Rec, mere feet away from the Goodman League basketball courts, where legends like Kevin Durant and John Wall (reflexively flexes biceps) have honed their skills. So we had high temps, a historic location, and a SOLID workout–how could we possible top it off? Well, this was something we’d been planning for a while, but we decide the time was perfect to bestow the highest honor in NP history upon our boy, Charlie. If you don’t know Charlie, you should. SO take 5 minutes and get to know him:
Every once in a while you need to shake things up to keep people roused. We did just that this perfectly radiant morning, with a PR workout that knocked your socks (or knee brace*) off. Below is a pencil render of the amphitheater to illustrate our new PR workout, the changes of which can be described thusly:
Words of coleader Travis about our November Project Tribe member & Positivity Award winner Staci:
I am always impressed with how dedicated you are while always keeping an awesome, fun, and snarky attitude! You really are an integral part of this family, and we are extremely glad you’re here! I can’t wait to see what you achieve as you keep pushing your fitness to the next level.
The original post was titled New Year… Old Me and was written by one of our members, and recipient of our Positivity Award, Carrie Johnson. It was too good not to share (with her permission of course). Have a great year!
…
So in the interest of the New Year I decided it was about time I get back to my blog, having neglected it significantly over the past few months. I’ve actually had posts and ideas swirling around my head, but, as with a lot of things, life got in the way and those ideas never quite made it to paper (or screen as it were). But that’s the things I love about New Year; yes you’ll never completely change who you are, yes resolutions will be broken by next week, but its always good to set goals and new challenges and the New Year is a great time to reset and do that. I for one, am all about that.
They show up.
They not only push themselves with cold, logical determination, they carry the rest of the tribe to higher altitudes of greatness. Every encounter with them leaves you encouraged, happy really.
Infectious positivity, quiet or loud, others notice their hearts of gold.
Many of our Tribe members embody this character, and we are lucky to have you show up with us each Wednesday.
