**Day 201**

I decided to do 3.1 miles on my treadmill tonight, and my goal was to do it in less than 45 minutes:


I was so close!!!  But I'm happy with the workout I did because I only had to walk for 4 minutes, and the rest I ran!
Run 15 min.
Walk 2 min.
Run 15 min.
Walk 2 min.
Run 11 min.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to do this at the race tomorrow tonight!  Since it's going to be a high of 98, and very humid, I'm sure I'm going to have walk much of the race, so it will take me even longer to finish, but we'll see how it goes.  Of course, I wish it wasn't going to be so darn hot - this is not how I wanted to have to tackle my first race, but it is what it is, and I'm going to give it all I can!!

    You're going to do great whether you walk or run. The fact is that you're doing it and if you're like me, it's something that you never would have attempted in your previous life :) Congrats hun!

    Good luck at your race! Your first race isn't about PRs, it's just about finishing - you can do it!

    "If you do not hope, you will not find what is beyond your hopes." ~St. Clement of Alexandra

    I think you should HOPE to accomplish that goal. Don't automatically set yourself up for failure. Okay? YOU CAN DO THIS! GOOD LUCK! Please know that I'll be hoping for you here in PA, too.
