This has been long time coming….on behalf of your Regional Board it brings me great pleasure to announce that starting 5/9/20, F3 Hickory’s AOs are open for business.

Until further notice, we ask all pax to follow and honor the following. Guardrails for Re-Opening F3 Hickory’s AO’s:

  • All workouts are limited to 9 or less, including the Name-O-Rama/Circle of Trust. If more than 9 post, the workout should be split into 2 groups, and proceed to another distant area of the AO with a second Q. NOTE: If you are Site Q, be prepared to help Q the workout. Let’s be prepared to help.
  • At least 8 feet away from each other at all times, including NOR/COT
  • Gloves are recommended
  • No partner work
  • No shared coupons
  • Facemasks, Bandanas, or Buffs encouraged
  • If you are sick, or have been around anyone that is sick, do not post in person. Let us know and we will open the workout to you via Zoom.
  • Disclaimer: Incorporate the new Coronavirus guidelines into your Disclaimer at the beginning of a workout, and reiterate that F3 is free, each pax posts at his own risk, and modify as needed.

You still have options w/ virtual workouts via Zoom. That likely will not change for the foreseeable future. Your running list of virtual workouts can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1J6htEppZT0-Xmb3z_mTTr1hvwVdvK-bNbncjabuvSpk/htmlview

Emotional Headlock (EH). It’s time to headlock our brothers and encourage attendance in the Gloom. We’ve been sitting on the sidelines for a long time and there are likely lots of pax that will continue to use this as an excuse to stay there. Now is the time to lead and bring a brother with you.

Don’t forget, F3 is a community. If you or any loved ones are struggling financially, physically, emotionally, or spiritually please reach out. All of us have been there at one time or another, and that is part of what our community is all about. Do not let yourself become isolated. We are here to lean on each other.

We acknowledge that there is a risk to someone becoming sick with Covid-19. As always, all are reminded that you assume your own risk whenever you post. However, the above precautions we are taking are in line with the recommendations of the CDC and our local community. Also, the CDC and our local community are encouraging us to get exercise. Plus, these guidelines are more stringent that the reality of your grocery store or home improvement store.

Let’s take back the Gloom. We are High Impact Men. The example of how we live now in this crisis is critical. We will be watched by our M’s, our 2.0’s, co-workers, and friends. If we can live wisely and boldly; if we can live with peace and joy; if we can demonstrate our care for our F3 brothers, and the larger hurting community around us; then we will be on our way to creating a lasting impact. We have been training for a day like this. Now let’s get after it!

See you in the gloom.

Aye,

Cousin Eddie and F3 Hickory Board
