8 PAX, fresh with New Year’s resolutions in hand arrived (at various intervals around 7:00-7:10) at the Mad Hatter’s parking lot for their first downPAINment of the year. The temperatures were a balmy 20 degrees and there may or may not be some frostbitten fingers as a result of today’s BLOCK party.
The Thang: Complete F3 Workout. The concept behind today’s workout was to focus on each section of the body in a brief but intense period of exercise with the intent of feeling maximum burn and fatigue before moving on to the next section.
Warm up: 3 minutes (run by Riggs/Doogie while the Q, Floyd had to run back to get blocks for the latecomers).

With many New Year’s resolutions including exercise, now is a good time to recruit new F3 members. F3 Durham is going to do an advertising drive this month to see if we can attract any new faces. If you have a neighborhood listserv, please feel free to let us know and we can add that in.
Holy $hit…KFP sighting…for real.
My New Year’s resolution for F3 Durham….START ON TIME! My father always told me “If you can be consistently late, you can be consistently on-time. It is the same skill set.”
