Got to get focused!

I'll admit my training has been, well, almost non-exsistant. Lately it's just been because I haven't been feeling too well. And with the Princess half marathon being five months away it feels like I have some time until I really need to start training.
However.... I am now signed up for the Richmond Half Marathon in November. My mother ran it last year. I got back on the treadmill today for 25 minutes alternating between 3.0 and 3.5 mph. How am I ever going to finish this half marathon?!?
I've got a 4 hour limit on this race. That's 30 minutes MORE than the Princess half, and therefore I can go a little slower. In order to finish in time I have to be speed walking 3.3 mph the entire time with no stopping.... I need to get to working out, and pronto! Thankfully we still have a plan. I just need to actually start working out!
I also need to start working on planning a healthier diet. I eat too much fast food due to my job. Need to start packing healthier food! Peanut butter sandwhiches and carrots at first, most likely. Hard boiled eggs, chicken, salads. I can do this. I just need to focus!
I promise I WILL start updating this regularly. I need to motivate myself. Princess half has a 3.5 hour time limit, which means I need to be going 3.7 constantly with no stops. And with the characters out I just know I'll want to! Only 148 days left to go!!
