This morning was so fun. It was wonderful seeing so many people still show up for each other on a Wednesday morning when we could all have stayed snuggled in bed for a sleep in. Thanks for making my day! Everyone worked hard on the bridge, I will forever admire how Andrew and Jessica can lunge across, in perfect synchrony, 50 feet ahead of everyone else. Geeze. Next up, the Reindeer Run and North Pole/South Pole made us all work hard but like all good things in life, work hard, play hard. Shout out to Willie Mac for the wild idea of showing up with ten crazy carpets to make this morning unforgettable. I just wonder if we will ever see the day where Scott doesn’t cheat and false start a race. Watching everyone try and fit 4 people on one crazy carpet was peak entertainment. Thank you. read more

Winnipeg Notes:
– First COLD workout of winter
– Great Skate HYPE
– Next week; Sneaky PR Day
– Holiday Party tomorrow night
– Koats for Kids
– Shabooyah from Kiera to Wilton

Today was our first COLD workout of the winter and unsurprisingly you all crushed it! Winnipeg doesn’t just attempt #weatherproof, Winnipeg defines it. From the Woodbridge Gauntlet, to getting in the spirit with holiday tunes under the canopy, running levels in the cement castle wonderland this morning was a blast. Absolutely love how the whole crew humoured the hilarious burnout of pushing a truck all the way up the parkade. I personally like to believe we are just preparing you to be good citizens when a snowstorm hits and you’ll be pushing neighbours out of snowbanks! read more

Winnipeg Notes
– Halloworkout
– Halloween Karaoke tonight
– November Project’s Project of November
– Tags are finished for the year
– Shabooyah to Desiree

What a Spooktacular morning! Despite hitting our first – double digit numbers you still showed up in big numbers, costumed, carrying pumpkins! Monster Mash seems to be on the list of songs to listen to before we bounce at the next Halloworkout. We had our first taste of the Cement Castle Wonderland and boy did it feel good to be back, enjoying her beautiful structure, glistening mural walls and sneaky stairs. The pumpkin Pass race was hilarious and there was great team work carrying pumpkins for the circuit. Did anyone manage to eat more brownies than Scott? Was he really rolling sixes or doing any of the burpees? We will never know. read more
