Ed, looking at your posts above I'd like to achieve a similar level of fitness although perhaps not in time for the half. I'd like to think I can do it in 1h 50m but I'll just concentrate on running for a constant 2 hours for now and see how far I get. Thinking about it, I've never run beyond 10 miles before...
HB - Eagerness off the line is something I will be keeping an eye on. Fortunately I'm running it with the missus and she keeps a steadier starting pace than me. We have similar fitness levels although I probably run 10k a couple of minutes faster at the moment.
I've got a HRM watch and Cardio Trainer on my android phone which has been instrumental in the upkeep of motivation. Without it I would have thrown the towel in on this running lark a long time ago. I still don't enjoy the sensation of running distances having been competitive at 100m/200m in my earlier years but the sense of achievement and increased fitness is making it worthwhile.
