Rabbit-isms!

There's always room for another race!
That's a horrible idea... What time?!

Trail 5Ks and a Marathon Rap

Saturday STEB left the house at 8:01
Heading to Reston to bike with Candy would be fun
She had another mission after her ride was done:
Supplies at The Bike Lane and packet pickup for the 5k run!
It'd been a while since she'd biked on the WOD
Because now WOD has a new meaning you see!
Had a good ride out and back
Lots of folks so company wasn't lack
Gave a shout out to her friend Kim
Who was finishing up the Women's Distance Festival 5k for the win
Had a nice ride out to Leesburg and back
And stopped over Goose Creek for a scenic pic!
Scenic view of Goose Creek on the way back!
When she finished the ride her timing was great
Because she walked right up to packet pickup with no wait!
After she got home she made a very strange discovery
Could she have biked with her shorts on inside out? No way!!
Saturday night there was a movie on tap -
Was it about running? Yes it was, as a matter of fact!
Sunday morning STEB headed back to Reston:
Run with Dad 5k first - it would be a hot one!
Met Coach Kelly from PR who announces all their races
Nice to officially meet her as she gives this Rabbit shouts out in most cases!
Coach Kelly the PR Announcer!
Standing in the shade pre-race was nice - as it was cool
Because after she'd be hot till she got to the pool!
Just before the start she saw Kim and her family -
Then they lined up after a pre race selfie!
It was great to see Kim again!
The race started right at 8 o'clock
300 meters on the track - and boy it was hot!
But soon they were on the path for the out and back part
Much more comfortable there than at the start!
Ran by a 7-year old girl in her very first race...
She wanted to 'catch the rabbit' for goodness sake!
STEB had to leave her on one of the final hills -
But after stayed to congratulate her - she's not a pill!
Got her cold bottle of water then  headed to her car
Headed to the OKM pool to swim LC meters which seems so far!
Had a really good practice outdoors -
This time it didn't seem like a chore!
After the swim she and RBud went to Starbucks;
It was nice and relaxing and a little of a pick me up!
Then in the afternoon a special movie with her son:
Jaws 40th anniversary screening - it was fun!
Hard to believe it's been 40 years!
For STUR  on Saturday the Mt. Vernon Trail was the place;
She ran a 5k but it wasn't a race!
Instructed to keep her effort at only 85 percent -
Then off in her car to CrossFit she went!
Faced with a WOD called "Fight Gone Bad"-
She must use all the strength that she had!
Got through it fine then did several running drills -
Hearing "perfect running form" from the coach was definitely a thrill!
Sunday's workout involved vacuuming her car seats...
Going to donate it away - isn't that neat?
She'll get a "new" car to her starting tomorrow -
Missing her old one will bring a bit of sorrow...
Finished the weekend off watching the Nats win-
That first inning really made her grin!
#IBackTheNats
CBun was off on a weekend adventure where she took a ferry ride
To The Great Run Marathon up in Cranberry Isles!

The island was pretty, but hilly as can be
And that made it tough to keep up the speed.
CBun had only trained up to a mere 15 miles...
So she wasn't sure what she was doing on Cranberry Isle!
There she was anyway, the week after the Bay -
Thinking this Great Run marathon certainly isn't child's play.
The friendly island folk and pretty purple flowers
Pretty purple flowers!
Made up for the fact that it took her six hours!
The gleaming Poseidon medal was really first rate
And she left the island thinking:  The Great Run is great!
CBun finished!
WuDoc was rabbit-holed away...
For a very important test - and she had to study!
