Half Iron Training

My base training has now started for a Half-iron race. I will need to build up my run speed, continue the progress that I've been making on the bike, and work on swimming form. I will likely start in a formal training plan either 20 weeks or 27 weeks out, but for now, I just need to make it a point to get my workouts in regularly. This may be a task, seeing that I have a very pregnant wife and will have a baby boy either late September or early October. I guess I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. After a post-race period of laziness, I completed a 6 mile run Wednesday morning, and another 6-miles this morning. I plan on giving my legs a rest tomorrow and doing some lifting. I do need a more formalized plan even for my endurance building period. I guess that'll give me something to do this evening.
