It was fun as always and included some St. Patrick's day stuff

| Thanks for hosting uke club Beverley Hills Community United Methodist Church! |
There were visitors who just arrived from Alaska on spring break
They were good sports to come to uke club for goodness sake!
A lot of songs were played in two hours
And some special cupcakes might have been devoured

The Irish songs were a lot of fun to play
And the stalker ones made for some laughs, OK?

Saturday morning, STEB headed into Arlington
Found parking in a nice garage and it didn't cost a ton.

A short walk then met the race director Lisa Reeves
Who was dressed like a leprechaun if you please!
Hung inside the bar before to stay warm
A dude was having a pre race brew - there's no harm!
Outside a few minutes before the start
Breaking news it was sunny and 90? Alas that was a lark!
Lined up and waited for the gun
It was really nice standing in the sun
The first two miles went by faster
They were mostly downhill and STEB hoped the return wouldn't be a disaster!
Got to the turn around after being passed by a fairy and the leprechaun

STEB needs to figure out what that was going on...
Her ears blew off before mile 3
Had to turn around to get them - oh gee
The final mile had parts that were steep uphill
STEB slowed down as it was kind of a pill
But she didn't have to walk except when she went back for her ears
She finished with a smile then got her free beer

She also got a cool finishers coin and leftover blanket
Which came in handy 'cause it was cold you can bet!
It was packed inside Ireland's Four Courts - they were
like sardines
Maybe this is why STEB never really liked the bar scene?

First thing Saturday STUR showed up at the CrossFit box -
Time for open workout 17.3 - that rocks!!
She was signed up for heat number two-
A workout with squat snatches and jumping pull-ups is what
she will do!
It went well and she even got a snatch PR -
For a second she felt like a star!
Drove over next to the Chinquapin rec center -
There was an open lane for her in all its splendor!
Got in half of her workout without having to share-
But people were coming to join - BEWARE!
First she and another lady decided to split the lane-
But then another man jumped right in- kind of insane!
STUR happened to be doing backstroke and didn't see-
They ended up colliding mid lane - EEK!
STUR collected herself and gave this man a tongue lashing -
Finished 6300 meters without too much splashing.
STUR decided on the Mt. Vernon Trail for a Sunday run -
It was very cold so she was grateful for the shining sun!
 |
| Well...what WOULD Chrissie do? |
About 5 miles in she pondered, "What would Chrissie do?"
She would finish those 8 miles - you know it's true!!
STUR did just that then pulled out her jump rope right by
the trail-
And 700 jumps were done without fail!
Yes, Saturday was rather cold
But BLUR and David were sure bold
They went for a 4-plus mile run…
Which actually turned out to be fun!
Sunday morning STEB was up before the alarm clock
Even with the spring forward time change - what a crock!
After a nice little walk with her Rile-a-roo
A few hours on Trixie was the thing to do!
She had a workout from the weekend before
She would do the same one again. Score!
It went well she is happy to report
As she is getting ready for some triathlon sport!

She had a cheer crew for the entire shebang
Riley and the cats that is - what a great gang!

Then the afternoon STEB was rather lazy
But she played her saxophone after about 30 years - crazy!

STUR had a goal for her afternoon workout -
She got in 3700 meter swim - she can shout!
That means she got in 10,000 meters total over 2 days -
She promises this is not just a phase!!
Sunday was better because BLUR was inside
And did 3,000+ meters in the pool, what a fun ride!
