Upper body, maximum effort, no doubt!
She felt tired but did the best she could
Hoping the next day she would be feeling good!
Saturday morning she had a bike run brick on tap
Leaping back into her TriDot plan that's a fact
But first she had a travel snafu to take care of
She had booked her upcoming return on the wrong day - not too suave!!
Knocked out her spin and didn't even need to take a break
For her run it was windy out for goodness sake!!
 |
| Windy enough to blow over PBun's wrought iron chairs! |
Leap Day weekend JRab and STUR had a quick trip to Greenville planned-
But first there was a bit of a flight delay - oh man!!
Made it there and had chauffeur service to a town called Travelers Rest-
Visiting time with nephew and his family is the best!!
STUR had never see their house and all that land-
And meeting a pig named Pickles sure was grand!
 |
| Pickles the pig is adorable! |
Rosie the dog was there too with an “appropriate” greeting-
She wasn’t shy - jumped on uncle JRab just after meeting!
 |
| Well hi there, Rosie! |
Carbo loading and then card games and piano playing -
All 4 grand nephews are fun and almost always behaving!
In the morning- it’s only a 5 minute drive to the race (what race?) start -
Scott would warm up while STUR would go to porta potties - smart!
Pre-race STUR heard many times, “there goes the Easter bunny!”
Oh well she’s just glad the day is cool and sunny!
The race starts with a two mile up and up hill-
But then there’s a turn around and you’re on the trail all the way into Greenville!
The trail is aptly named after a swamp rabbit...
Besides STUR, no rabbits seen - only runners and an occasional biker was the traffic.
So many spectators and cheering along the way-
For running it was certainly a perfect day!
STUR saw her very own running crew at the finish line
High fives from all the family was really divine!
Grabbed some Girl Scout cookies and a Mountain Dew!
Relishing in a leap day PR-whew!
There was one thing that really made STUR's race day-
She finally passed the 2:30 pace group-hooray!!
Afterwards there was much more playing outside on a trampoline-‘
Aunt STUR and uncle JRab were exhausted if you know what I mean!
 |
| Jumping on the trampoline is the most fun! |
In the afternoon PBun watched the Olympic Marathon trials
It was inspiring and fun to watch the 2nd place female first timer!
 |
| Cool view of the Olympic cauldron! |
Sunday morning PBun started her day picking things off the ground
Powerlifting over at the Playground is where she could be found
 |
| It was RDL day! |
Got reacquainted with the belt squat machine
Did quite a few reps on that it would seem
Also got to play at the leg press station
It's a smidge tough getting it started, but it's fun
Reverse hypers using just her body weight
Because the other machine does not make her body feel great!!
 |
| You hang over the big red rollers and put your arms through the small ones to grab the silver thing. PBun is working her way up to the 'other' machine! |
Later back home after a short recovery
Headed out for her run in the sun you see
Decreasing intervals were on tap
She managed to knock them out as a matter of fact!
To South Carolina and to the Shuford family STUR and JRab had to say goodbye-
But a few more games and church time- they can't be denied!
