5 PAX braved the frigid temperatures this morning for another downPAINment at the new Tobacco Road workout in southwest Durham. It was 24 degrees and frosty. Good thing Floyd came along to heat things up. In the past, our group has done the “Gloom Dial” which consisted of 12 different stations. Because this workout is only 45 minutes, the gloom dial was abbreviated to the Gloom Compass which consisted of 8 stations. With each direction on the compass, the PAX would run with a 20 pound paver and do an exercise. When they ran back to the center of the compass, a second non-weight exercise was performed.

There is only one rule in my world. Do not eat my cookies without permission. Doogie.
Welcome to Carlton who had the privilege of being an FNG on the day I wanted to punish Doogie.
Strong work to those who came out despite the freezing temperatures. I can see the Thursday workout being very popular in the future.
