For some people, Mondays can feel mundane, boring, run-of-the-mill.
They wake up,
shower,
head to work,
head to the coffee shop,
drop their coffee on the floor,
buy another one,
head to the T,
no-seats,
some old dude’s sweaty butt is pressed up against them,
and all the people at the end won’t move down becau–lksjeflefkn.s,ejkrs.3rj.
Ok, woah. Got a little carried away there. What was I talking about? Oh yeah–Mondays. If you start your week with us, though, things are different…
Monday mornings with NP always start with “a little bounce,” some good old fashioned community, and then a kick ass workout. And sometimes, (like this morning) it has a little side of chaos sprinkled on top.
As co-leaders of this insane group of early-risers, every time we arrive at a location we always think:
“What exercises does this landscape lend itself to?”
“How do we highlight the coolest parts of this space?”
“How do we make this area our playground?”
And then sometimes, you have a place like this morning. Where we arrive, and we just say:
“We gotta run across the street!”
“We just gotta!”
That’s how. We set up a workout that seems simple at first, and then chuck a wrench in the works that wraps our workout around a busy intersection with stop lights happening at 90 second intervals. Why? Because it’s hilarious, and chaotic, and everyone walking by just goes “What the fahk is going on? Who ahh those people, and why does it look like they’ve having the best time evah?” – Actual quote from #RandoGuy this morning.
But when you start your week with us, all that “case of the Mondays” crap doesn’t matter, ’cause you have a secret–that you’ve already bounced, hugged, and sweated your morning out with us. You don’t even need that coffee you dropped on the ground.* You don’t even care about that dude’s sweaty butt ’cause yours was already wayyy sweatier this morning.** You don’t even need to go to work! Screw work! Who needs it!***
November Project #destinationDecks are certainly the best way to start your week. If you’re not joining us yet, come see what the #gatewayWorkout is all about. So why did November Project cross the road? ’cause it was hilarious and fun, and that’s the way we like it.
Wednesday we’re back on the stairs at Harvard Stadium.
Friday we’re back on the hills for #PRHills
12/1 should already be blocked off your calendar. It’s gonna be effing awesome.
Much Love,

* You definitely still need that coffee. You probably need two. But reward yourself! You got up at 5am this morning and went for a run! How cool is that!?
** Still care. Why is his butt so sweaty? More importantly, why is this the third time I’ve referenced an old dude’s sweaty butt in one blog?
*** You. You need it. While our workouts are (and forever will be) totally #free. The rest of life is not. Sorry 🙁
