But it's Tradition Rap

It was Mother's Day weekend but Team Rabbit was SOL
There's no 100 100s this year? Aww hell!!
You see it has become an annual tradition
Swimming followed by a late lunch at Chipotle is their typical mission!

Friday PBun did the 14 days of quarantine WOD
She thought it was kind of fun but towards the end it got hard
Happy that STUR passed the workout along
She does miss CrossFit and hopes these workouts make her strong

WOD for the win!

PBun hopped on the IMVR train again
Oly distance du? Sounds like a good plan!
A reverse run bike trainer brick on Saturday
After 3k and 40k she felt...OK!
She bundled up for the run as it was chilly out
At least it wasn't snowing, no doubt

Masks R Us! 

Sunday morning she made a quick trip to Home Depot
The dude behind her was not social distanced. Way to go, bro!
After that was her 10k run
It went well and she actually had fun

No mask needed!

Got in her designated speed work towards the end
And ran by a broken down bike - what the heck happened?

It won't be long before Velociraptors can hid in this grass!

The Goodmanator helped her with some backyard clean up stuff
While PGoodz sent her a fun coloring book sure enough

This coloring book is rad!

CBun went for a hike along the Fairfax County connector trail
Passed Difficult Run on the way to Great Falls Park without fail!

What a lovely view!

KBun was on the C&O Canal Towpath again
Saw some baby ducks floating along for the win!

Ducklings and goslings are so cute!

On her hike, BLUR stayed upright
It was a success, alright alright!!
The Beast did a double zwift ride and gardening no doubt-
In the end she was happily worn out!

That's a pretty Beastly avatar! 

STUR started her weekend with a run out in the cold-
Even though nice and sunny- these temps are getting old!
Sunday she filled a backpack with 28# of weight-
Did she go up a long steep hill? Damn straight!!
Later she decided to push the limits a bit with Laz-
After 3 hours of walking he had a little less pizzazz...zzzz

That's one tired pup! 

Distantly Social Rap

Friday night PBun made up her Thursday spin
Broke in her replacement Vector 3 pedals for the win
Saturday morning dawned bright and sunny!
STUR headed out of her house to meet another bunny.
Ran mostly downhill to the donut place -
There was BLUR pulling into a parking space!
They both headed toward the trail and did their own pace-
Doesn’t matter because of course it wasn’t a race!
Once back together they found themselves on a very steep hill-
For getting the heart rate up it certainly fit the bill.

Meanwhile, PBun had a bike run brick on tap...

No virtual race this weekend and she was OK with that.
She was outside to catch a glimpse of the special flyover...
But alas only heard them - probably wasn't the afterburners!

There's lots of video on social media of folks who did see the flyover. Including this one from the US Air Force! 

PBun is a little partial to the Air Force Thunderbirds
Perhaps because she had been in the Air Force Reserves!
That afternoon she caught a special live stream event
A record breaking 501 KG deadlift is what that meant
That's only 1104.52 pounds
Pulling it straight up then putting it back down!

PBun literally tuned in right as he was on the platform about to lift. You can watch it here!
For any Game of Thrones fans, this is also the actor who played "The Mountain!"

Sunday morning, PBun ran outside in the light drizzle
Then a fun WOD with STUR where they were distantly social
After a warm up with some hang power cleans
Deadlifts, dips, and your choice of burpees or kettlebell swings!
In Gina’s Garage STUR had a bit of a mishap -
Between two weight plates her pinky got trapped!
Pulled it out and continued on with her workout -
Then hit her head on the squat rack barbell - what’s that all about?

OUCH!!!!

Virtual Racing Rap

This weekend, guess what? PBun had another virtual 'du' race
IM VR4 was Oly distance once again, she was on the case!

It's kind of fun earning the 'race' badges!

Things went pretty well and she was glad for the motivation
Even managed to squeeze in a 5k time trial, son of a gun
Saturday afternoon she rearranged her rec room
Then a quick visit to the landfill to purge stuff if you must presume
Saturday night she got a special delivery from a friend
Cool Breeze brought over a few chocolate cupcakes for the win

Mexican Chocolate Cupcakes? Deliciuos!

In place of the annual GW Parkway Classic run -
STUR did a 10 mile route just for fun!
She’s never gone from her door to the Mount Vernon Trail...
But she made it over there without fail.
Definitely slowed down on the way back -
A big hill and many inclines it did not lack!

Ropes and Cords and Ladders (oh my!!!) Rap

This weekend, PBun had another virtual race
It was a sprint distance duathlon in this case

PBun is now sad she did not sign up for VR1!

Saturday morning brought a 1.5k run and 20k spin
Then painting the inside of her garage door for the win

The white make the garage so much brighter!

Sunday morning was a 5k 'race' to complete her event
Two loops around her hood is where she went

Post 'race' selfie with Riely!

It turns out that #AnywhereIsPossible
PBun has done it twice now - that's no bull!
Then, after a short recovery break...
A WOD followed by swim cords sounds great!
On Saturday STUR went to a familiar place -
Turns out Dunkin' Donuts has become her running home base!
She headed out to the trail and toward the bridge -
Before heading back she only went past it a smidge...
Since the run was short she did some jump rope right in the parking lot -
Even though there were wind gusts - she gave it a shot!
On Sunday she and JRab spent some time helping out a friend -
Nobody fell off the ladder in the end!!

Ladder up!

BLUR took her bike for a jaunt outside
But too many folks to keep a safe distance and ride!

Oh well, maybe next time!

Easter Rap, COVID19 Edition

Easter weekend came as planned
But no gatherings to be had...coronavirus, be damned!
Friday night the Beast and PBun hopped on a zoom meeting
Tried their hand at socially distant ukulele playing
It was a smidge awkward but they still had fun
It was nice to catch up and 'see' someone!
Saturday morning PBun got going pretty early
She was signed up for Ironman VR2, surely!
Knocked out a 3k run followed by a 40k spin
Then on to the Honey Baked Ham store for the win!
Saturday night she watched an encore presentation of World Series Game 1.
Still cool to see even though she knew the outcome!

It was fun to see Baby Shark again, too! 

Sunday morning meant no rest for the weary
She had a 10k run on tap, seriously!

Brunch is always a good idea!

Got that done then made brunch on her new range
Her old kitchen appliances had seen better days

Three cheers for new appliances!

Next up she and the Goodmanator had a zoom meeting planned
With PGoodz and a surprise from their dad - oh man!

Zoom free is fun!

Saturday STUR decided to up her run game a bit -
Going to go for 12 miles or so before she quit!
From the Dunkin Donuts she started her trek -
Did she run almost to Mount Vernon? Absolutely, you bet!!
Sunday she went for the strength side of things -
She’ll stuff a 25# dumbbell in a backpack and see what that brings!!
A 5KEH walk happened up and down hills -
Finally putting it down was the actual thrill!
Later she had a brunch with of course a small amount of friends -
Ended up with a food coma by the end!

Super cute Easter table!

What a cute carrot dessert! 

Now you know that Easter is Team Rabbit's favorite holiday
It's the only one where they don't get odd looks for wearing ears - you don't say!

Virtual Unsocial Rap

Early Saturday PBun, KBUN , and STUR met up for some virtual run fun-
Initially at Fletcher's Cove there was more rain than sun!
First KBun and STUR did a one mile warm up-
Then they met PBun back at the lot, “whassup?!”

Rabbits, keeping their distance!

Did a selfie with hopefully proper social distancing-
That is what we’ve been told to do - are you listening?
PBun was going to support from her mountain bike -
First made a stop at Little Falls if you like!

Headed toward Little Falls!

Still keeping their distance! 

All the way up to Carderock recreation area!
Met up with BLUR and David - no hugging hysteria!

OK, somewhat keeping their distance!

After a short while PBun, KBun, and STUR made their way back to their cars-
But they needed some more nutrition - it was kind of far.
But yay! PBun will soon be to the rescue!
She biked ahead and retrieved some hydration and snacks, it’s true!
After the three rabbits arrived back at their cars
It was then time for PBun to depart!
She headed back home and eventually took a nap
She must've needed it, that's a fact!
But two rabbits were not done with their virtual race day...
They had a few more miles up their sleeves, oh by the way!
They went 3 miles up to the start of the tow path -
So 3 miles back would give them 23.5 miles - do the math!
Rabbits are slowing down - listened to music to keep up the mental game!
Chariots of Fire song gave them a boost - can you blame!
Someone remarked that the pair looked “hardcore”
For a moment this made their spirits soar!
Next thing you know they got it done!
What a day of 31.07 mile fun!
But hold your horses - KBun is not finished yet:
Ten more miles for her on the path? On that you can bet!
STUR set up her aid station at lock number seven-
Chocolate chip cookies and jellybeans - KBun was in heaven!
STUR then picked up KBun at Carderock...
And in the dark later 10 more miles she would run/walk!
Next morning KBun was up for more time on the trail...
STUR met her again with some snacks without fail.
Another beautiful day and she ended up with 100k -
Team Rabbit knows she will complete 100 miles one day.
Meanwhile, PBun was concerned that her fridge was about to give out
So she headed out to get a new one - give a little shout!
Afterwards she got in a little run walk of her own
Including some time with Riley - even she was in the zone!

Springing Fartlek Rap

Friday night PBun hung out at Capital One
Arena that is for some Wizards fun!
Was Marcin Gortat in town for the game? Yes sir!
PBun got a high five and spoke a smidge of Polish to the 'hammer'!

There's the Polish Hammer!

She might have ended up on the jumbotron
Fifteen Seconds of Fame, still going strong!

Screen shot of the 15SOF Twitter video!
Side note: Marcin Gortat responded to this Tweet!!
(Photo and video clip courtesy of DC Stones!)

There was a giveaway to the first 10,000 attendees...
Bringing back the fanny pack? Well woo whee!!!

That is one fine fanny pack!

In his 22nd season Hawks Vince Carter shot 2 for 3 on 3s!
And the Wizards ended up with the W which is always nice you see
Saturday morning PBun was up early to get in her usual brick
Threshold and hold spin and a run outside actually wasn't the pits
Snatches and thrusters and jump rope OH MY!
Many rounds of this STUR did at CrossFit - but she didn't die!
Later PBun took her Roo Bear for a little car ride
Just to her 6 month checkup - she took it in stride.

Even going to the vet, Riley is smiley!

Springing forward to Sunday morning STUR headed out towards Fletcher's Cove,
Beautiful day - the sun was out in droves!
CBun and STUR took off together towards Maryland-
CBun had a long 20 miler planned!

Ready to rock their long runs!

STUR’s goal was a solid fourteen...
Run-walk-run-walk again-you know the routine!
Met up with BLUR who ran-walked right from her place...
The rabbits were chill and relaxed, it wasn’t a race!
Hopped over to Capitol hill to meet KBun for a little brunch action
The yummy food made for lots of tummy satisfaction!

Smiling and satisfied rabbits!

Did some Pistol Ultra race strategizing -
KBun is going to rock that 100 mile - no apologizing!!!!
Sunday morning, PBun mixed things up but not hodgepodge
Fartlek run followed by powerlifting at Gina's Garage!
Later had an EPSC shareholder meeting to attend
She took notes as the secretary,  understand?
Plans are underway for a fantastic 2020 season
It's going to be the 60th anniversary, you reckon!
That night was another Wizards game, against the Heat
Going in early to watch warmups was pretty neat!
There was a fun little Wizards Rubik's Cube give away
In the end they lost this one, she is sad to say

It's pretty cool to sit so close during the warm ups!

Also got to chat with Dave Johnson pregame
He is battling MS and kicking butt, just the same!

Dave Johnson - the voice of  the Washington Wizards!
(And DC United, among other things!)
