WATER YOU DOIN’ THIS WEEK? Hopefully it’s as fun as this!
(📸: @briangorun)

Ever want to put a little extra pep into your week? One fun way to do it: hang out with the folks behind the November Project, a free workout group that’s all about melting the Seattle Freeze.

“This was my morning before 7:15 a.m. We didn’t have any fun at the @nov_project_sea workout this morning,” group leader Brian Fisher wrote on Instagram. “Just like we didn’t go swimming. Both of these statements are true. 🤥”

Sound like something up your alley? Join the fun at 6:29 a.m. (yup — in the morning!) every Wednesday at Gas Works Park and every Friday at Golden Gardens.

Now let’s help you make some plans…
