177 days till race!

Prework: 
Watch this video http://www.mobilitywod.com/2010/08/episode-03-new-concept-and-homework/

Brisk five-minute warmup walk.
Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes.

When jogging take a heart rate monitor.  Try to get above 92 (Carlie) or 87 (Julie) beats per minute if you can while you are running but the really import part is to stay below 137 (Carlie) or 131 (Julie) at all times.  If your HR goes above that slow down or start walking.
