Countdown: 263 days til Mini-Marathon -- New beginnings!

Well, its day one and I must admit I am in Biiiiiigggg trouble lol.  I spent the day pumping myself up for my 30 minute walk and even downloaded a jog tracker for my phone to track my progress.  I put on my shoes and headed out for my walk.  I kept up a brisk pace and at somewhere around 8 minutes and .45 miles into the walk I was pretty sure I was going to throw up.  Maybe the 90 degree heat was not helping but wow 8 minutes.  I sucked it up and kept going but at 15 minutes and .69 miles I was done.  Wow, reality check..  On the up side according to jogtracker.com app my average was a 22 minute mile.  So now I just need to get that down to a 15 minute mile (or better..  I really want to get to like 12 minute miles) that I can keep up for 13 miles.  I did not get in this shape overnight so I know I will not get in better shape overnight.  Tomorrows goal 20 minutes at the same walking speed without throwing up.  Good thing I have 8 months as I am going to need every minute!!
