Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

There are two errors I could pick up on in the log. The first is that it indicates that your runtime is outdated. I believe that means your Java version is out of date. Try to update it. The second error is the operation timed out one, which means that you have no/poor/spotty internet connection, or that you have a firewall up. Try to either get to a better internet hotspot and/or turn off your firewall.
