Wednesdays are special at #NP_DC. Sure, Meridian (and Capitol Hill) Mondays give us a chance to nom on some #hillsforbreakfast, and Fridays let us explore the nooks and crannies of our incredible city, but Wednesdays, Wednesdays are something else. Wednesday we get to go back to where it all began, two dudes at Lincoln- which became 5 people, which became 25, which became 500. We get to stand in awe of the most beautiful sunrises, illuminating our nation’s capital. We get to look Abe in the eyes as we charge up the stairs, gasping for air, trying to get one more set in. We are lucky for Wednesdays- and for Lincoln.
525. First to CRUSH a Lincoln PR day in 2017
January was a trying month for lots of folks. SO much change, uncertainty and fear about the future. And to not have this place that has been such a stable, steady constant over the past three years- was potentially worrisome for the Tribe. However, I think our little break made us STRONGER.
We were on TV during our stair session at Nats Park, and the Tribe dazzled like the stars you all are. We exercised our demons (pun VERY MUCH INTENDED) in Georgetown- and learned that steep stairs make you FIERCE. We did a TRACK WORKOUT (what??) under the bright lights at Banneker- and felt the power that comes with climbing some unforgiving stone stairs. And finally, we got in a SOLID bleacher workout while Steve and I silently freaked out that a parking attendant would get mad at us. Put simply, January was different, it was exciting, it was fresh, and I think the Tribe learned a lot from our month of rotating stairs.We come back to Lincoln with a newfound appreciation for the hollowed ground- and what it really means to get to workout there.
Today though, THIS morning, we made our triumphant return to Lincoln. No matter how long we’re gone, or where else we workout, Lincoln feels like home. It IS home. For a lot of us, our first NP workout ever was Lincoln. The first time we experienced the NP community, the Bounce, the magic, got the high riding home and were giddy at work all day- it was with Abe as the backdrop.
We got to return this morning and oh my word, it was breathtaking. A fiery and gutsy 525 crew blazing through the dark to DESTROY our make-up PR day, followed and matched only by a rowdy, boisterous 620 squad. PRs were set. Friendships were forged. We got to come home.
So skip that afternoon coffee, you won’t need it, and let those positive Lincoln-Wednesday-PR vibes carry you through this day.
It felt good to be back, damn good.
