did 3 minute cycles - almost!

I was so close, it kills me!  We were doing 6 cycles of 3 min run, 1 min walk.  the first 4 cycles were good.  cycle 5 I needed to focus and sing a song in my head (reminded me a bit of childbirth).  Then cycle 6, up a hill, I was only 1-2 minutes away, and I felt nauseated.  I told myself I could do it, keep pushing, but the farther I got up the hill, the more worried I was I would barf in front of the whole group.  I walked for the last minute.  I'm really disappointed because I was worried about the 3 minutes and almost did it.  I guess the take home message is have snack before going and dinner when I get home (I ate about an hour before and thought that would be good enough).  Oh well, I'll do it this week, at least I know I probably could have, my willpower was there.  It was good to be with a group because I don't think I would have pushed myself that hard alone.  Its embarrassing to say 3 min at a time is a big deal, but I'm writing this blog so one day I can be an awesome marathon runner and look back at my very humble beginings
