on the spur of the moment I have decided to do run a half marathon in October.:confused: I retired from rugby in may, and has found my self going a bit soft around the edges ever since, and I need something to focus some energy on.

I've never been a keen runner, I did a half marathon in 2008 but I was not properly prepared, and it took me more than 3 hours, and I vowed never again!
I know there are some experienced runners on here, what is your best advice to get this going?
I have bought some new Mizuno Wave trainers, and the guy in the running shop was shocked that I'm wearing Laterally posted orthoses on a pronated foot (shock horror), but it helps control my laterally knackered ankle. we've already got them muddy
we? oh yes I've also got Freia the 2 year old Lab to keep me company, and set the pace, although she doesn't get the concept of running a little then walking a little, nor staying on the path all the time. we did 3km today, and probably ran half the distance, with a swim stop (for her) in the middle.
Any advice greatly appreciated. Barefoot runners need not apply (I still can't get past "what if I step in poo!" )
