Taper Song: Last Thursday Night

To be sung to the tune of Last Friday Night by Katie Perry (or the cast of Glee)


There's a flu bug at my job,
People coughing will not stop
Germs are all over the room
Like an elementary school
Gotta keep my distance far
Staying healthy’s just so hard
I can’t get the stomach flu
Staying far away from you

In my taper now
Germs are everywhere
I'm screwed
Oh well
Marathon to run
Wanna do my best
It’s true.
Damn

Last Thursday night
Yeah we ran 3 tempo miles
Pushed it hard while coach just smiled
It was hard but I survived
Last Sunday morn
We did our last longish-run
Kept it easy, kept it fun
Just 10 miles, training’s done
Last Friday night
And now that our taper’s here
Gotta hydrate, not drink beer
Marathon is coming near
Last Monday night
Yeah I slept a full eight hours
Dreamt of speedy running powers op, whoa
This Sunday morn
Race a marathon!
This Sunday night
Marathon is done!

Trying to connect the dots
Don't know what to tell my boss
Leaving work now in my car
Avoiding germs is just so hard
People coughing everywhere
Germs are all throughout the air
Think I need to wash my hands
Can’t let sickness kill my plans

In my taper now

Germs are everywhere

I'm screwed

Oh well

Marathon to run

Wanna do my best 

It’s true.

Damn

Last Thursday night
Yeah we ran 3 tempo miles
Pushed it hard while coach just smiled
It was hard but I survived
Last Sunday morn
We did our last longish-run
Kept it easy, kept it fun
Just 10 miles, training’s done
Last Friday night
And now that our taper’s here
Gotta hydrate, not drink beer
Marathon is coming near
Last Monday night
Yeah I slept a full eight hours
Dreamt of speedy running powers op, whoa
This Sunday morn
Race a marathon!
This Sunday night
Marathon is done!
