Happy Christmas Rap

At CrossFit the WOD was the 12 Days of Christmas-
It was certainly something that tested STUR’s fitness!
Afterwards she did her 9th day 90 kettlebell swings-
The ones in the WOD didn’t count-that’s just mean!

The CFK 12 Days of Christmas WOD!

PBun has been under a little stress these daysGave herself a little break on workouts in this case
Saturday morning she was up of course before the crack
Did she take her pup for a walk? Natch!
She did manage to get those 90 KBs knocked out
Seems to have irritated her left shoulder no doubt
Spent the afternoon working on a photo digitizing project
Came across some.funny memories, on that you can bet

That time when PBun broke her arm running (!!!) after her toddler, PGoodz.
(PBun was not a runner back then, if she was maybe she would not have slipped!!!)

Sunday morning she drove to st James pool in the dark-
Swam 2.4 miles in a L4 swim practice not just on a lark.

In the afternoon she met up with a few bunny friends
Of course they discussed races that may be around the bend.
Had some yummy Vietnamese food at Happy Endings-
Only referred to the food(haha)- winning!
Afterwards took a brisk walk around Teddy Roosevelt island-
Time with bunny friends always leaves them smiling!

It's the Roosevelt Rabbits!!

Sunday morning she awoke before the crack, again
Her shoulder was still niggly so she would be skipping L4 swim
Her pupper got to go on two morning walks
Then she got a little crafty, that's a fact

"Die Hard" IS a Christmas movie!

Next, she met up with a few high school friends
Good coffee and conversation at Swiss Bakery, till the fun came to an end

It is nice to be able to stay in touch after ALL those years!

Cool Breeze (aka Abbi) made everyone origami rabbits...
Abbi was born in the Year of the Rabbit!

That's when PBun headed to work, not to play
And finished up a little task from Friday
Finally it was time for her 100 slam balls
While watching The Last Jedi, y'all.

Frosty CapTune Rap

On a rainy Saturday thought it a good day to stay inside-
A partner CrossFit WOD - she won’t be denied!
Lots of dumbbell box step ups awaited her there -
“Breezed” through the new wall ball exercise without a care!
At the end did her second day of fitness -
Those 20 devils presses will help get ready for Christmas!

STUR, mid-devils press!

On Saturday PBun did something most unusual
Went into work to start packing - it was not dull!
She brought with her coffee and donuts from Dunkin
It was the perfect way to help get the job done!
Later that afternoon she scooted over to STUR's pad
They rode the Metro with JRab to Eastern Market - it was not bad!

Nice moving shot of the George Washington Masonic Memorial while departing the King Street Station!

They were headed to a rabbit gathering
It was STUR's birthday bash as is tradition
This year at her Tune Inn party there was a small glitch-
It seems from one bar to the next they would have to switch!
First, BLUR got to the Tune Inn and snagged a table
They soon grabbed a second once they were able

At the 'girls' table' at the Tune Inn!

But a private party was soon to start
And the Birthday Rabbit and her crew would have to depart
The group wandered up the street to the Capitol Lounge -
Where more food and drinks could be found.
But what’s this - they were carded at the door?
Thank goodness everyone is over 21 - score!
David beat them there where he snagged a group of tables
Bench and chairs with lots of tv viewing channels

All the party animals!

Their waiter was really nice with a cool accent
He was very attentive - totally heaven sent!
The Cap Lounge shirts had a funny saying on the back:
"We don't care who you work for!" Isn't that whack?
The table-snaggers were definitely the best
You could say they 'slaughtered' it. No jest!
PBun headed home right after BLUR and David to get sleep for a race
She was going to do the =PR= Frosty 5k in this case!
Sunday morning dawned nice and sunny -
Great day for a long run/walk with the dog thought the STUR bunny!
Meanwhile, PBun headed out to Fairfax Corner
Packet pick up then a nice warm up run you can be sure
Ran into her running friend Greg, a Half Fanatic
Met some of his friends, too, and post-race they all took a pic!

Here is THE post-race pic!

PBun had a set TriDot work out to do
It involved Mav Shuttles followed by some Z2
Before the start saw she L4 swim friend and HS classmate Marlene
She was there to do a birthday run with other L4 friends it seems! 
It really was a beautiful day for a run
Sun shining and only a little wind, it was fun!

PBun doing her first #Roustance with runner friend and fellow Half-Fanatic, Greg!

Post race saw the cutest thing ever:
Mom and daughter in Christmas Kitty shirts that look like a sweater!

They were so cute!
(Mom gave permission for picture to be posted!)

Jingle Rap

On Saturday PBun finally got back on her bike trainer for a bit
It'd been a while since she'd pedaled on Trixie but she wasn't completely unfit
After this it was time to climb up on her roof!
Santa and some twinkly lights were going up - that's the scoop!

Up on the house top, click-click-click!

The finished product!

She was thankful that Goodmanator was there to lend a hand
Someone had to hold the ladder and be prepared to call 911, understand?
She also needed to clean up some leaves
This seems like a never ending task she believes
On Saturday STUR headed over to the CrossFit box-
Partner WOD with rowing, snatches, and thrusters really rocks!
She finished the day with parties times two-
One had her going back to the box it’s true!
Sunday morning just before the crack
PBun headed over to STUR's and they walked to the tracks
Unfortunately for them, Metro wasn't open
So STUR ordered up an Uber ride, son of a gun
They shared the ride with another runner who was stranded you see
Who happens to have a cute dog who named Yankee
They were excited to run the Jingle All the Way 15k
And BLUR was in for the 5k, by the way!
Met up with her and her friend at the race bag check -
Almost too cold to take a selfie - what the heck?!!

The rabbits are trying to stay warm, pre-race!

PBun ran into Colleen from JCC Masters swim
Then a little later saw her sister Shannon!

These 5Kers are ready!

BLUR took off with her friend Martina  - yay!
The were going to have fun with the 5K

BLUR is having fun!

Martina, sporting her Jingle bling!

PBun and STUR kept their warm coats on till the last possible second
Thank goodness for that bag check so they would have them at the end!
Finally it was time to line up for the 15k
Got rolling as the 5k folks were finishing, you don't say? 
STUR overheard someone say, “what’s with all the rabbit ears?
Team Rabbit knows it’s Christmas time - never fear!
Along with their race bibs, all runners received two jingle bells
Was it fun to hear them jangling along the race course? PBun says yes, swell!
About halfway STUR's pace started to discombobulate-
She thinks it’s time to get the doctor to inoculate.
PBun went breezing by about that time -
“We’re halfway there” - together they did chime!
PBun tried to keep a steady pace the whole way through
Did a pretty good job of that if you want the truth.
The volunteers were awesome standing out in the cold
Couldn't have done it without them, truth be told

One the way to the Metro!

The 15k rabbits walked to the L'Enfant Plaza Metro after they picked up their warm coats
Caught a train right away - score - dont you know?
This might have involved a short sprint on the platform
It was worth it not to have to wait for the next yellow they must inform!!
Upon disembarking they trudged over to Bob and Edith's Diner
This new post race tradition couldn't be finer!
Back home PBun cleaned up a few more leaves
Her Toro leaf vac sure aims to please!

Hoppy Thanksgiving Rap

Burpees, thrusters, and jump-rope? OH MY!
That was STUR’s Saturday WOD so that’s why!!
First she went out with Lazlo for sort of a “sprint”
He wanted to run today - the weather was heaven sent!
Sunday morning STUR picked up the Beast for some long course action -
Their efficient lane swam until the whole workout was done!
Afterwards they had some breakfast at the on site cafe-
The St James is a great place to swim and play!
PBun had a somewhat quiet weekend
Some swim and bike trainer on Saturday for the win
Painting around the house on both days
With a nice walk with her Riley on Sunday.
KBun was down in Cozumel Mexico
Just going 140.6 miles, don't you know?

Way to GO, KBun!!

CBun and HRab went on a nice hike
And saw the JFK 50 runners in the distance, what a sight!

There are ultra runners along the canal tow path!

Thanksgiving day some rabbits went running
From Charlotte to Springfield there was Turkey Trotting
PBun saw a friend from L4 swim team
Who is also a neighbor it would seem

PBun, pre-race with the St. James Turkey!

Her race was at the St. James, so she jogged on over
But it wasn't timed and there weren't results but there was breakfast after
When she was done she ran back home
Before dinner at her cousin's, don't you know?
The Charlotte Turkey trot was run by STUR and her brother Andy-
They went  to the race together - very handy!

STUR and Andy, post race!

There was an 8k and then a 5k -
You're called a "tough turkey" if you do both - no way!

Fun turkey trot bling!

After all that running,  time to put the turkey in a fryer...

If you didn't say it was yummy you'd be a liar!

Mmmm, delish!

Throughout the week PBun started her Christmas decorating
But this year involved a little painting

PBun's latest holiday decor addition:
The Harry Potter Village!

There might have been a quick stop at Krispy Kreme Doughnuts...
Coffee and doughnuts were purchased with no regrets!

Hot and fresh!
And always delicious!

She got everything done except the lights for outside
Because it seems some quit working, that's not right!

One tree, two tree...
This is PBun's mini tree!

Santa is ready and waiting to go to his post
Is Christmas season PBun's favorite? It's the most!

Video of PBun's big tree secured to the wall to protect it from the newest feline family member!
