It’s Monday. But not just any Monday. A Monday that served us our last #Septbastian of #Sebtember (that’s 7 minutes of as many burpees as we can do) AND the very first #NP_AfterDark event.
NP_AfterDark is whatever fun fitness and/or social events that we throw out to the tribe to be done after dark. This is distinctly different than the workouts we do in the dark, before dawn. The nighttime shit is cray. And so worth it.
Event #1 is going down tonight. Here are the deeeets you need to know. Read it, share it, and #JustShowUp tonight.
WHEN: start is 10pm. finish is no later than 12am.
WHERE: start is at Corey Hill Outlook Park–the top of Summit Ave in Brookline. The social afterwards (12:05am) will be at the Publick House on Beacon St.
WHO: anyone who wants to. But it’s not a “you have to” kind of thing. It’s hard, and it’s a race, and everyone is welcome.
WHY: because fitness. And just get to the end and you’ll know why anyone would do this.
BUT WHAT ARE WE DOING??? It’s the same WOahMAN course we’ve done before:
- Start at the top of Summit Ave.
- Run through Allston to Harvard stadium
- Complete a full tour, from section 37-1
- Run back through Allston to the top of Summit Ave.
- Complete 25 burpees
- Run one full hill (front side down to beacon st, back up and over to Corey rd. and back up to the top)
- Complete another 25 burpees
- Run another full hill
- Finish at the fire hydrant
- Head to Publick House for a celebratory beverage
OTHER SHIT YOU GOTTA KNOW:
- you CANNOT park on Summit Ave or other residential streets in Brookline overnight. Technically they can ticket you after 11pm. SO PARK AT METERS in Brookline if you’re going to park.
- #safetysecond: dress and plan accordingly–it’ll be dark! So wear headlamps and/or glowing or reflective gear.
- we have to be QUIET. More quiet than other days. It’s one thing to be waking people up on Friday morning with our loud voices and elephant feet pounding down summit ave. But on a monday night??? at 11pm??? That’s when people sleep!!!
- if you’re racing WOahMAN and don’t anticipate finishing within the 2hr window, make plans to start earlier so you’re done by 12am–we want to finish together!
- if you want to try to PR, that’s cool. Look at your profile in the tracker to see what your previous PR is for the event.
- CPayne says he’ll be writing notes to give to your bosses tomorrow to excuse you from being a functional human being.
- Fuck Yeah!
