There are a few things every single NP leader across the world really can’t stand:
- People who tell us our workouts aren’t that hard (run faster…then the workout will be harder)
- People who tell us our workouts are too hard (ease up…no one is really paying attention anyways)
- People who just moved here from another NP city and don’t stop bragging about how their old tribe was faster/funnier/bigger/louder/quieter/prettier (every city is different)
- People who complain..about anything. We roll our eyes at all of it.
Running home from today’s workout I realized that none of these people come to Monday workouts. Mondays are small and sometimes it really feels like we are a secret little club that meets in the dark. People are tired on Monday, but no one really complains about it (except me). When you think about it, it is a special breed of human that gets up before dawn on a Monday. They are the people who look at the upcoming week with a sliver of optimism. They are the ones who enter work with a smile, coffee in hand even though they don’t really need it. They are the ones who set small goals and celebrate when they achieve them. They also set the big goals, but let’s be honest, everyone sets the big goals. It’s the people who know how to relish in the victory of hurdling short obstacles who find greater joy in the day to day. These are the people who make up the core of Monday workouts and they are the people who you absolutely want to start your week with. Because if you surround yourself with them…maybe you will be become one yourself one day.
