Sunday Long Runs Lyrics

Week one starts I'm feelin' fresh

New shoes laced got that perfect stretch

Bought a fancy watch planned my pace

Told all my friends—I'm runnin' this race

Week five hits the miles climb

Foam rollin' hurts but "pain is fine "

My fridge is packed with chicken and rice

And I dream about ice baths every night

Oh Sunday long run legs on fire

Why'd I sign up? Who's the liar?

Peak week's coming there's no escape

But I've got carbs and miles of tape

Week ten now I'm feelin' tough

Until my hamstring says "That's enough "

Tried to skip a run coach said "No "

So I limped around in recovery mode

Week fifteen I hit the wall

Is that my toenail? Did it just fall?

Body's broken mind is too

But runners don't quit—we push on through

Oh Sunday long run legs on fire

Why'd I sign up? Who's the liar?

Peak week's coming there's no escape

But I've got carbs and miles of tape

GU in my pocket salt on my face

Chafing in spots I can't replace

Phantom pains and race day dreams

Boston Qualifier? Don't know what it means

Oh Sunday long run got me through

Peak week hurt but now I flew

Cross that line arms held high

20 weeks—if I don't die

Medal on in my head

Intervals fartlek and a long run go get

20 weeks? Let's go again

'Cause runners are crazy—but we're all friends
