One Week More

**To the tune of 'One Day More' from Les Miserables**

One week more!
Another week, a few more training days.
Until we run Bandera 50k.
The men that will record our time,
Will put a timing chip on ankle mine.
One week more!

Hills and rocks and 31 miles,
Is all we have to run to finish.

One week more!

High high and low low on the temperature dial,
Oh, how I hope that range is diminished.

(One more week of butterflies.)
Will we make it o'er the hills?
(One more week to plan your drop bags.)
Will we withstand the sotol plants?
(Don't forget your Body Glide.)
Take your gels and salt tabs.
(Don't forget to stretch your calves.)

One more week before the race!
(Shall we follow this flagging tape?)
In the small town of Bandera.
(Or shall we follow the runner in front?)
Will we keep our goal pace?
(Will these knees bear the brunt?)
Will we come out injury free?

The time is now, the week is here!

One week more!

One week more to locomotion!
Through the Texas hill country!
We will likely fall and scrape our legs!
We will do it triumphantly!

One day more!

Watch us run amuck,
Catch us as we fall,
With just a little luck
At the finish, there'll be alcohol,
Here a little `jog'
There a little `walk'
Lucky Peak ain't nothin'
But a little shock!

1: One week to a new longest distance
2: Raise the bar for future runs!
1: Every runner must persevere!
2: Every runner must persevere!
1:  And above all, be resilient
2: What a way to start the year

Do you see the people run?

My place is here, I run with you!

One week more!

Hills and rocks and 31 miles!
(One more week of butterflies!)
Is all we have to run to finish.

We will join these 50k veterans
We will follow where they go
We will learn their little secrets,
We will know the things they know.

One day more!

High high and low low on the temperature dial,
(One more week to plan your drop bags.)
Oh, how I hope that range is diminished.

One more week to locomotion!
Through the Texas hill country!
We will likely fall and scrape our legs!

Watch us run amuck,
Catch us as we fall,
With just a little luck
At the finish, there'll be alcohol.

Next week we'll run a far far way,
Next week will be the judgement day

Next week we will discover
What Bandera, Texas has in store!
Seven more dawns
Seven more days
One week more!
