Our Fishman,Who art in rhombus,
W00kie be thy name.
These hippies come
With guitar and drum
On tour as it is in Gamehendge.
Give this day our daily toke
And forgive us our WSP stats
As we forgive spreadheads that come to our Phish shows.
And lead us not into the Biscuits
But deliver us from Umphrey's

Morning all. Another full day of these sessions kicks off in 15. I think we are even going straight through lunch today. Lame. But I think someone might be buying us lunch. Cool. But as a public employee, I dont want tax dollars spent on buying me (or anyone else) lunch. So thats a little conflicting. Lets not play it fast and loose with the budget here.Dinner with a friend and fellow Arbuckle Award winner tonight, then Igloofest with Magda Friday night. So thats not too shabby. The Superbowl party will pale in comparison to @Conphucius's, but we'll have all the key elements.
My gut is telling me its gonna be the Ravens.

GM.N!Holy wind... felt like the big bad wolf was trying to blow me down. But luckily, I was safely in the arms of my favorite Boston-ite, @bostonron.
Im taking him to IKEA this evening. He is irrationally excited about his first time there... I promised him meatballs and lodenberry juice for dinner. Personally, I can't stand the place. For a person with OCD, its WAY too disorganized and confusing. Ahhhh, the sacrifices we make for our loved ones
Happy Friday Eve!!

@cupuscakus - it is windy as hell here too. My whole building is creaking and moaning. It's actually pretty disconcerting (although not as bad as the earthquake a while back). Tonight, just drop little @bostonron at the Smaland playcenter and you can get done what you need to.

I think I'm doing well. There are somethings I need to improve on, I think..breathing and keeping a consistent pace. I've been doing some reading/research. The weather been so nutty. One day I take in a deep breath of 20 degree air and the next day I'm sweating and breathing in 75 degree air. Today I'm likely to get blown around the streets of the neighborhood. Such a fun adventure.
Edit: @mfhgreyboy, @birmy, @y'all any source of training info you like?

@Ednaz - Just saw your edit.Not particularly. I went couch> half marathon a few years back, and I contacted my old XC coach and he put a program together for me. I can try and dig it up if you want to see it. It's a combination distance/speed/pacing regiment that was essentially designed for an easy 8:30/mile pace.
There are so many internet "programs" it's tough to tell them apart. If you are avoiding drastic increases in speed/distance you're doing pretty good. Why don't you post what you've been doing (or the program you're following, if one) and I can comment from there. PM if you want.

@Ednaz - I actually found it. You can adjust the distance/tempo as needed. It's more about incorporating those three workouts (LIT) into your program.Usually, you should have about a 16 week program, but you're still young so you can squeeze in a 9 week program. Here is a 9 week program based on running slightly faster than a 1:52 for the half marathon at about 8:30 a mile. You can always back off to run 9 minutes a mile and adjust the following target times.It is a 5 day program but you can run easy on off days as well. I call it LIT, which stands for Long runs,Intervals and Tempo. For the long runs, you run for time rather than distance starting at 1 hour and then building to 2 hrs., Intervals will be on the track doing 800's (at 3:30 minutes with a 3;30 minute rest) , at times you can sub miles for 800's at 7 minute pace, Intervals are faster than goal pace because it establishes running economy. It makes your goal pace feel easier. Tempo's should be run at 20 seconds faster than marathon pace, which for you would be about 8:10 a mile. Your long runs should be about 30 seconds slower tham your goal pace, so you can run them at 9 minutes a mile. On your 2 easy days run 45 minutes to an hour.
Week
L (long run) INTERVAL TEMPO
1.1 hour 4x800 3 mile
2.1:10 5x800 4
3.1 :15 6x 800 5
