What are clips?
And completely off topic - you say that you're doing a palliative case right now, what is your job?

I hate that on the days I wake up exhausted the only way I can get more sleep is by skipping exercise. The start of this term is really kicking my butt.
Monday - should have been weights, but I slept in an extra half hour.
Tuesday - running and stretching
Wednesday - pilates class
Thursday - running and stretching
Friday - piyo class, tai chi class, pilates class
Saturday - weights or perhaps just stretching and rest because.....
Sunday - RACE DAY!! I'm doing the Navy Air Force 5-Miler. I'm a bit worried because I just started running about a two weeks ago and my last race was about 11 months ago and I'm so not prepared for a race, especially a 5 mile one! But, I know that I can finish the race, walking, within the time limit, so I'm trying not to worry too much.

Monday is a walk day for me
Tue 60 minute run speed work or tempo
Wed suppose to be a swim but I am working late so I will probably not get it in.
Thursday 75 hilly run
Friday 30 min strength and fitness
Saturday 4 to 5 hour run
Sunday bike ride but not sure if I will get it in.
I hate to say it but I have not been on the bike like I wanted to be. I think part of the problem is I went to the clips and I am nervous with them so I stay off the bike. I know the more I ride with them the better I will be.
Plus I am doing a palliative case right now and it is taking up a lot of my time. Finding it hard to get everything in that I want to do and have time with husband.
Happy Patriot Day, 9/11 Memorial

I love the Les Mills classes. I wish some existed where I live!

Thanks I know for 25k on the trail it took just over 4 hours. That is why we are figuring over 8 hours. I think i might up the hours up the hours if the knee is OK by than. I had a fall yesterday not running. It was an uneven road and I did not know it was uneven and my foot caught and down I went and my knee**** Not what I needed. Thanks for your advice.
It all starts with a dream . . . as you train for and finish your half Ironman, it'll build the self confidence to pursue your next goal.
And I agree that it is sometimes difficult to understand the relationship of food intake, exercise and weight gain. When my weight starts increasing, I go back to tracking every bite in a food journal to see my actual calorie intake and the quality of what I've been eating. Usually I find that I've let my protein slip and am overestimating the calories burned during my workouts.
Good luck on training for your half!

Congratulations! I love the triathlete community and having multiple options to be active. Sounds like you've definitely been bitten by the bug!
Thanks. As far as the training, it depends I guess. Does your trainer have an understanding of how far 4 hours is in terms of miles for you? I know that for me on a flat road that can be 25 miles but on some trails that's closer to 15. That's kind of why I don't like training plans based on time. If your knee can take it, I would make sure I had at least a 20 miler in the same type of terrain as the race. But the old saying is, it's better to be 10% under trained than to be 1% injured.
