YHC swore into this BB by putting his right foot a book that looked similar to a Bible. The morning started out like most average gloom Rooster mornings. Everyone showed up at least ten minutes early. No one was running late and got big t-claps for showing up anyway and running by themselves. The Q …
It was a cool gloom, to run with the men. There were plenty there… except that one HIM. We waited for the smell of citrus hops, but the hands of the clock just went tic toc.Alas the time has hit five and a one, wait no longer so the ruckers don’t run!With hats pulled low …
Due to some mysterious case of the not feel so goods a last min change was called for the Q and YHC stepped in for the impromptu route. Simple yet satisfying. The rucker/ walkers ventured off into the unknown and we all made it back safe and a little better after 45 minutes. Conditions: Calm …
Rooster BB’s have and always will be the pinnacle of truth! For instance, Urkel showed up before anyone else this morning and Belding lost his ability to sweat! Nine PAX came out for the triple inauguration. New president, a FNG post (welcome Backhoe!), and a newish AOQ. What a day. There were 9 total for …
YHC planned on the Shealy Rd route and almost posted it the night before for any of those Pax that would want to meet up along the way or jump from behind a trash can and scare the hell out someone. But as we gathered readying ourselves for the run 1 Pax decided to voice …
It’s great to see these numbers improving Rooster. Maybe it’s the mild weather for January? Maybe it’s the start to a new year of fitness goals? Probably the AOQ. Bouknights by nature are accountable to other Bouknights I suppose. Oh well. Great to have strong numbers no matter the reason so let’s keep it growing. …
A couple members of RS8 team met in the gloom pre go-time and discussed highly strategized plans to recon possible strategic waypoints for the take down of an unnamed high ranking Polish area of operations Q. The remaining team assembled and waited for asset 1 command central to arrive with the flag. Watches synchronized and …
YHC took the first Q spot under the rule of the new Rooster AOQ. It was time to change up the normal our and back routine that we have been doing lately. The Pax that wanted to see the new AOQ plant the flag for the first time assembled at 5AM. The Thang: 5 minute …
YHC figured a back blast is required for my final run as AOQ especially since Urkle just took the flag without letting me have any final words. He was very intent on not having any major or elaborate gesture made. How selfish of him? It was all going to be about YHC!! All kidding aside …
YHC needs to ready himself for the BRR and having missed the last opportunity today’s gloom was critical. The route was even adjusted slightly thanks to then insights of Doodle. Punishment will be dealt out at a later date. Belding was also up for the challenge as we wondered where Puck rode off to. Nevertheless …
We ran to Smokehouse to find FIA. One PAX decided to stay and keep the Rooster company. I don’t know what they talked about but YHC imagines there was a lot of self discovery, teamwork playful banter, and trust falls. There may have even been some warm tears to nourish a blossoming friendship between a …
YHC was glad to be back at Rooster this morning to run off all the vacation drinks and food. Choosing the Chicken Strip also seemed fitting for what appeared on Titterverse to be a good posting of runners, ruckers and bikers. While we missed a few Pax we did have all the styles covered so …
Following the P200 YHC was feeling well enough to run but certainly enjoyed a coffee walk. Back to proper running next time. A cool morning saw 4 Pax ready to hit the streets. While 2 runners, 1 rucker and a coffeewalker set out a friendly feline was waiting to accompany us back. It followed/led us …
YHC needed to get in some hill work to get back in shape and ready for the P200. The invitation was thrown out to group and a $20 wager thrown down to entice as many P200 Pax as possible. 2 posted and Urkle remained $20 to the better. So, with 5 total Pax off we …
YHC decided there was no better way to celebrate the 2nd Anniversary of Rooster and kickoff year 3 than a fabled BoBerry run. 10 Pax shared in glory of a run/ruck followed by some quality 2nd F breakfast. Great chatter on the Kardashians and Kenny G all around the establishment can never go wrong. Weather: …
YHC took the Q this morning trying to decide if it would be speed work or a normal 4 to 5 ish mile loop, Why not a little of both. It has been a long time since the Pax took on our fitness test, the Haynes. Another selfish reason to run the Haynes is that …
All across the nation this morning temperatures dropped from “holy smokes that’s cold” to “instant death”. In our little corner of the world out here on the wild, wild, west side of F3 Lexington the the thermometers indicated “yikes, I forgot my hat”. Conditions: 25 degrees, dry, no breeze A few pax made their appearance …
YHC was happy to be back in the gloom following a little hernia repair. Still only able to coffeeruck but anything is appreciated at the moment. YHC was also happy to see a strong showing and good weather. Weather: Cool but dry Disclaimer/Prayer The Route: Swayze/Hollywood Checkup Long Terrace to Crosson and up to Hwy …
YHC provided the planned route on the DM board the day before so at the 1 minute warning, YHC gave a brief overview to make sure all the PAX were comfortable. The route was named Le Tour de Escargot due to the Strava art of the route resembling somewhat of a snail. HT decided it …
YHC dreamed he would wake up on time and post to Q this morning. That he did, big round of applause everyone. YHV is not tooting the proverbial horn but he is definitely playing the kazoo. Great fellowship and turnout this morning and not to jinx anything but welcome back Khakis! Conditions: cool Disclaimer, Prayer …
YHC has been wanting to go for a light run after posting for coffee walks lately. Surgery is coming soon and then back to normal in a few weeks. A classic simple route was ahead of us in the gloom so let’s get to it. Weather: Perfect Disclaimer/Prayer The Route: Follow Long Terrace to Crosson …
YHC has finally defeated the fartsack to bring his sorry six back to Rooster to run with the boyz. It was awesome meeting Grand Pepe and seeing the usual PAX. We took Shealy Road in reverse, or forward. TnG pointed out we dont really know which way is which, it’s six of one or a …
YHC arrived to the Rooster to find the parking lot empty. T&G had promised an FNG, so early arrive was planned to make sure this man didn’t think he was in the wrong place. Once all the men where assembled (including the FNG) and 5AM was upon us, someone pointed out that our Q had …
I was all by myself. No one was watching, and I…ran somewhere and back. The End. Conditions: Favorable to be by yourself Disclaimer Prayer Route: Just followed the Q, crazy bastard was all over the place. Naked Moleskin: Larry Bird to HT, he really shined this morning and finished first. COT: Count …
QIC had a nice route planned out but decided to do a drive by just before time to get things started. It was decided that there were a few places a little too dark to not have given fair warning to the PAX to bring extra light. So what does Rooster do when scrambling for …
YHC was happy to jump in for Cinco after he helped out a few weeks ago in same manner. With no real plan it was decided to let the Pax plan the the route and alter it as we ran. After Swayze pulled through parking lot talking about Michael Jackson’s Beat It (yeah that’s what …
Some good numbers at Rooster for a nice morning with 1 Rucker, 4 professional looking bikers and 4 runners. QIC had to make a pit stop right at the get go however, recovered to get in a prayer and a new route started. The bikers took off to try and keep up with Shank-Respect and …
What a crowd! 8 PAX doing all kinds of stuff! YHC likes it. Just get out and do something. When this horribly awesome BRR thing is over, some wheels are going to get put down and the ruck is getting strapped back on. Sometimes it may even be at the same time (believe it or …
As YHC was arriving at Rooster, Mermaid was pulling into the parking lot on his bike. T-claps to him for riding from Ridge Springs which is about 12 miles away. YHC also noticed Khakis’ jeep (I know its his because he as his smiling face on the side of it) and Happy Trees car were already there. …
YHC was thrilled to be able to post and run today as life events have caused some absences other days of the week. It was great seeing Shank again in the gloom and having Wilson back out, even if on 2 wheels instead of feet. (Looks like he was pacing the Pax via that mode …
This will be easily one of the quickest BB’s YHC has ever penned. All you need to know is that Shankopotamus rolled in on us this morning, which was a blessing for fellowship. He then proceeded to taunt us about how he shouldn’t be ahead of us after back surgery. All YHC really remembers from …
Better be quick, don’t fall in a crack, protect yourself… SHANK IS BACK.Read More »
YHC decided to bring out a Rooster favorite, Fartlek Friday. YHC arrived at the park to warm up his tight joints and about 5 minutes into the routine he was surprised to see Doodle come strolling up main street. Doodle has a football scrimmage to coach in Edisto this morning, so YHC expected this man …
QIC decided to do a last minute Q signup for an open spot. There has been some subtle hints we need some more Q sheet signups from somewhere. A few PAX were already present when QIC rolled up to the gloom. 2 of those had already put in some XL work. Couple more rolled in …
YHC Was thrilled to see a strong in the gloom on today. Typically numerous HC’s the night before can lead to an equal number of fartsackers. Well done all. Kudos to the XLersvand we were thrilled to see Wilson. Now if we can just fill up those Q spots. Let’s keep spreading the word that …
YHC has been noticing a trend at Rooster, the men tend to finish the run early and then just gingerly stroll around main st or sip their drinks in the parking lot while waiting on the rest of the pax to finish. It was time to lay down a challenge from the early days of …
Friday 13th, Tour de B’Ville, and the creature from Francis StRead More »
What an exciting morning for a BoBerry run? YHC arrived having not really decided exactly what route to take from Bojangles. Fortunately it was suggested to check out Main St where some of Batesburg’s finest were assembled. How exciting it was to learn of some shot out windows of Tidwell’s. Great idea from Matlock to …
YHC had a quick discussion with the AOQ of the Rooster about returning to running on Wednesday and he noted that there was an open spot on the Q sheet for Wednesday. YHC took that spot with an eye on pushing for 4 miles. It was a perfect rooster morning, hot and steamy. 3 Pax gathered, 2 runners …
YHC was extremely excited to run the Haynes after injury prevented full participation at its inaugural running. YHC was also determined to set a new record and nothing made that more possible than sheer will and determination accompanied by Mermaid’s abscence. Great effort by all and a special thanks to Puck for putting it together. …
Its been a few months and now its time again. The Rooster is breaking in the New AOQ with a 2nd running of the Haynes. If you missed it the first time, then you will definitely want to get in on the fun this time. The Haynes is the Rooster AOs very own AMRAP, named for the auditorium that …
There was a spot open on the Q sheet for a few weeks after the Doctor had officially cleard YHC to run again. So naturally YHC took that spot, looking to make a triumphant return to running at the rooster. While the Dr. cleared me to return to full body weight running, the physical therapists …
As the message board reached a fever pitch on a Thursday night, YHC knew a fartlek was in store. While lightly tossed around at first it seemed to solidify as Wino asked with seemingly strong passion “Is it a fartlek Friday?” Others seemed excited as well. As we gathered this morning without the presence of …
Where to begin? The Q schedule had a Rooster staple, Stay Puff, lined up for Friday but on Wednesday morning a crack in the sidewalk tripped him up and he took a spill. Thursday night there was great discussions on the DM. What route should we take? Who was going to Q? If one rucked …
At the Rooster we have had a few themed Fridays. There has been Fartlek Friday and for a short period of time YHC tried to make #OnFridayWeRuck a thing but that didn’t work out. YHC checked the Q sheet and saw that a real leader, a true HIM had put his name down to lead …
Have no fear as the pax of Rooster created plans for elevating the train tracks of baesburg to create running/biking lanes. Also planned were paths to connect the trails of the rest of the midland. Nevermind about funding. City government was well represented this morning and all is well. Prayer The Route Runners and Ruckers …
For some reason YHC thought this would be a good route to help with P200 training. Only time will tell that but it was fun and hard. Also enjoyable were the tales of a bloody hands car crash, cigarettes and leaking water. But water is all clean after 4 feet of flow so drink up. …
YHC has been dealing with a frustrating foot issue and hasn’t been able to run for well over a week…it’s driving me crazy! So, what did I do? I bought one of those ruck things that I said I’d never use. It was surprisingly a good workout. I hit a brick wall this afternoon and …
February is upon us and that means that the Rooster AO is about to turn one year old. Its time to celebrate one year of rucks, coupons, fartleks, and tempo runs. The Pax of the Rooster have established favorite routes with names like Francis Street, Chicken Strip, Bernard Mt, Lick Creek Climb, Bozard Mill Loop, …
YHC and the other AOQ in the town of Batesburg-Leesville went back and forth last night about who would be the man to lead the men posting at Rooster in the gloom. YHC had not taken a Q since going out on injured reserve. After securing a few HCs from Pax to bring their rucks, …
YHC was expecting a lunar marvel near the end of our run/ruck this cold morning but alas the moon was “just full.” Maybe Puck was off on timing or maybe it was NASA. Let’s blame NASA. Either way we had plenty of light to guide us around the Bernard/Bozard Mountain loop. Glad to have Doodle …
YHC was happy to see so many faces on a cold morning today. It was especially nice to see Penfold and Danger Mouse back at it. With a route that allowed for varying distances for your own running pleasure T-claps to Babe for pushing the furthest. Conditions – At least it was above freezing Disclaimer …
WHAT AN AWESOME START TO THE DAY IN THE GLOOM!!! YHC was excited to see his brothers this AM. There were no new faces, places or paces but we got some good training in. Stay Puff even got in some impromptu street court time and showed us white boys can in fact almost dunk on …
YHC was a little nervous for the weather this morning but it turns out all we had to deal with was the cold as the moisture delayed until we were finished. Since Urkle posted (at first we thought a sewing machine was pulling in but it was Urkle’s “car”) we were able to talk about …
YHC was grateful that he didn’t have to run alone. YHC has really become dependent on the push he receives from the other PAX and this morning was no different. Conditions: Cold The Thang: BOM (since i don’t know street names) ran past hollywood house(no lights on) left on highway 1 ran thru swayze neighborhood(no …
YHC used a little reverse psychology last night by mentioning on twitter that if nobody showed up this morning I could just go home and get back in bed. I knew that would get a few guys to show up…just so they thought they were making me uncomfortable. Good work guys! Way to not let …
We certainly give thanks at this time of year and YHC is certainly thankful for this group of F3 brothers. This mornings run was full of mumble chatter regarding the coming day and Black Friday events to follow. Best of luck to HT he sets out at midnight to conquer Bed Bath,and Beyond… I mean …
YHC hasnt been running that long but decided to sign up for P200 anyway(sounded like fun). So obviously next on the list is to Q a rooster. 4 men showed up and it was very rewarding. There is something about an early morning run that satisfies the soul and this morning was no different. Thanks …
