Yay!!! Another runner
I have run 1 half marathon and countless 5K's 10k's and 15k's in between. The half marathon was by far my favorite race to date. I'm planning on doing a full marathon in Febuary 2011.
All of the above advice is great... and consistancy is the key.. just keep at it, you will have good runs and you will have frustrating runs, it's just all part of the process. Build up your endurance first and work on your distance.. don't worry about your time or your pace. YOur goal for the 1st 1/2 should be just to finish. There are some good structured running plans out there for marathoners.. I like both Jeff Galloway and Hal Higdon.. they both offer free running plans on their websites from the beginner to the elite..
Good luck and most importantly have fun
