Friends, you all crushed it out there today. Gristle, Ol’96er, Tenderloin finishers – wow! Congrats. Good luck with your legs in the next couple of days….
And yay to everyone who got out there at 5:30am + 6:00am to crush out 59 or 30 mins of stairs. Holy shit you’re amazing.
Today’s #thebig10 feature (#thebig10 = our 10th year of NPCanada in yeg… for those who are scratching their heads right now) is one of our newest NP members who has joined us for the entire Summer all the way from Karaj, Iran. It’s soon time for Reza Motiee to leave his new NP family and head back to his home. Thank you for chasing us down (you’ll read below) and finding your way to us on MWF, all Summer long. We will miss you and will look forwad to when we meet again!
Now, let’s learn about Reza.
My name is Reza & I’m 73 years old. I’m from Iran & I exercise every morning with a group of friends, usually from 5:00 to 7:00 am in a park near my house.
This summer, I came to Canada with my wife to visit our daughter in Edmonton. It was the first time I was here and after a few days I started my workout routine again by myself.
After a few weeks, one day I was walking around Saskatchewan Drive that I came across a group of people who were running. I was curious so I ran after them & at the end, I saw a lot of people who were high fiving! Then I asked about the group & Ms. Zoe wrote the name & social media addresses of the group on card for me.
I was so happy to find another group here in Canada to exercise with during my visit!
I’ve had the pleasure of exercising with November Project group since June. This group is super friendly, supportive and inspiring! In fact, as a stranger I was absolutely impressed & amazed at how welcoming and kind these people are, specially to a new person who can hardly communicate with them with broken English!
They even offered me a ride when the venue was far from me. The other day, Jens gave me a ride to the Ice District and after the workout, we went for a coffee with the group.
I am going back home to Iran soon, and I’m sure I will miss everybody in this lovely, positive and active group.
Hopefully I can see you all again in the near future!
