They played some fun songs and of course they did sing!
Saturday - what's this a long run in the middle of a heatwave?
Seems the weather was not going to behave!
The only solution was to go at the crack -
STUR, STEB, and CBun did just that - they sure weren't slack!
 |
| CBun out there, trying to beat the heat! |
The first two met at PWFP while CBun ran on the mall-
These bunnies are training for fall races after all!
 |
| STUR and STEB, ready to run a loop! |
They got it done in the end so that was sweet!
STUR went extra early to stash some water on the route -
Since there aren't any water fountains - shoot!!
STUR found STEB and they got down to business -
Hoping the weather wouldn't test their fitness!
They decided to go the "other way" on the scenic loop...
Used bug spray first so the mosquitoes wouldn't swoop!
STEB slogged through one reverse loop on her own two feet
She was happy they started early, that was neat
Walk breaks were aplenty as she continued to move forward
Somehow last time it didn't seem this hard!
Perhaps the heat was a tiny, little factor
But even with the walk breaks up ahead she could see STUR!
 |
| 7.2 miles - check! |
Didn't see any bears - that wouldn't have been funny!
 |
| Beware of the Bears! |
But she opted to pace STUR for a few miles, and that was dandy!
So she hopped on her bike while STUR continued to run along -
Having a bike escort helped STUR feel strong!
 |
| Part 2, underway! |
But on her way back STEB went kind of harder
She was so hungry and wanted to hit the road
So she could hurry and get back to her abode!
Turns out STEB was stung by a bee
Reminds her of her first race at Placid you see
She hopes that this time the mark doesn't last as long
Because an entire month is really too long!
After STEB turned around STUR began listening to some tunes -
Trying to be done WAY before afternoon!
 |
| STUR smiling because she beat the heat! |
She got 15 miles done and headed straight for a Slurpee -
For her drive home it made her feel a bit more perky!
While these rabbits were running, what do you suppose?
WUD and RBud did bike rides on the open roads.
WUD was out on the IMMD course, not on a lark
While RBud did her ride over at Mason Neck park
After a night of watching the Olympics STUR got to sleep in a bit -
Then she popped out of bed and put on her swim outfit!
Time for another National Harbor open water swim -
So hot out it was refreshing to jump in!
STUR took it easy - she's on sort of a swim taper-
For her 10k swim next Sunday/ it will do her a favor.
WUD and RBud were also there to swim
And a little running after, for the win!
Sunday morning STEB also got to sleep in
She then met with Abbi for coffee again.
Then after a trip to the grocery store
It was time to get friendly with her bike trainer for sure!
 |
| Trixie on the trainer! |
After a nice hour astride of Trixie
It was burpee time, only 85 you see
Later on Sunday evening there was a rabbit gathering
Marlene was in town, that was the reasoning!
 |
| It was great to see Marlene again! |
They ate yummy taco salads and maybe drank a brew
Then watched some women's weightlifting and Usain Bolt - whew!
The night was for the dogs, in the end...
Tessie and Riley - together again!
 |
| Happy girls! |
