F3Lenoir Finds the REAL HHS!

YHC graduated from HHS (Hickory High School) in 1975.

Today the men of F3Lenoir visited HHS (Hibriten High School)

Will the REAL HHS please stand up?

5 men met up at 6am for a 5 mile (or so) run through the streets of Lower Creek and along the beautiful greenway that Lenoir has to offer.

7 more men met those 5 at Lenoir Community Church and began their workout – just as soon at Cropduster visited the once fine bathroom facilities at LCC.

In the Parking Lot (welcome, disclaimer, mention of 2nd F, etc)

• SSH
• High Knees
• Butt Kickers
• IST
• the Merkin

Mosey RAM style toward HHS – along the way stopping for:

• Plank
• Mountain Climbers
• Plank Jacks
• Lunges
• Incline Merkins
• Decline Merkins

Enter the hallowed grounds of HHS – home of the Panthers!

• Suicides
• Freddie Mercuries
• Dying Cock Roaches
• Alternating Step Ups
• Box Jumps
• Tricep Dips

Enter the Stadium – where the real Panthers of HHS play football!

• Lunge Walk
• Bleacher running – various ups and downs
• Flutter Kicks
• 6 Inches
• Merkins

In the Parking Lot up behind the stadium, we were entertained by The Police

• (with a nod to Chap from F3Statesville) – YHC played the song Roxanne by The Police.  At every menntion of the name Roxanne, we did a burpee – 28 total.  While waiting to do burpees we did OH claps – which are harder than you think after doing a bunch of them.

Mosey back down to the entrance to HHS – along the way doing:

• Follow the Leader – following YHC as he jumped on and off the sidewalk, ran up ramps and stairs, stopped to do some tricep dips, doing a set of planks (High, Low, Sideways)
• Sat on a telephone pole that was lying on the ground and listened to Marion Williams singing a soulful, passionate rendition of “Were You There” – this served as Part 1 of our COT and we did it where we did because we needed a break from running.

Mosey back across Hwy 18, up Lower Creek Drive, eventually landing at Lenoir Community Church.  It is Finished!

Countoff, Name-O-Rama, Announcements, Prayer Requests:

Prayer Requests (from memory – sorry because I am sure I have missed some – but God heard them!)

• Dribble – for his son who is playing basketball at college
• UB (Granite Falls) – for his back
• Unspoken
• Tater Hole’s (Granite Falls) Father in Law – cancer
• There were more

FNGs:

1. Maury – he loves the Lord, his family and basketball – #Dribble
2. Joey – referencing Joey Tribianni – his soap opera  doctor character on “Friends” is Drake Ramoray – #Drake
3. Todd – he loves many things, including history (esp WWII) – #Bismark

COT – Part II – YHC read a Facebook post by F3Hickory’s own Goober who spoke to what Good Friday means to him – give it a look up.

We held hands while Friar had a ton of announcements (he’s a preacher – he likes to talk.  I wasn’t listening!  🙂 ) – then YHC prayed.

Moleskin:  What an honor to lead the #Studs of Lenoir today as we left their normal AO and headed up to HHS – man there’s all kinds of things to do there!  We introduced the Lenoir PAX to what a RAM workout looks like – Run And Move.  We got to know each other better along the way #microcosmoftheworld  We worked all (or almost all) body parts.  We didn’t lift anything other than our bodies.  We ran a good deal.  We sweated.  We laughed.  Dribble totally matched!  Bismark is a Hoosier!  Drake is a good runner!  It’s fun to see Lenoir growing by leaps and bounds right there at the base of Hibriten Mountain.

Today we visited HHS – Really!  And nobody pulled a #FlamingCropDuster [bite me CousinEddie!]
