Half marathon is my distance but good for you! I know a few people who have successfully done the Couch to 5K program. If you haven't already I do encourage you to line up several 5K races. For most people, running (or waddling, or whatever is your speed) is like learning a foreign language. If you don't have anything encouraging to you to keep using it, it fades away.

The Runner's World Race Finder is a good tool for finding events in your area.

I had just started a running program when I had my neck discs gave out and I had to quit. I'm still recovering from surgery, but hope to start back in soon. Of course I have been spending more time on the couch than I use to, so I'm in worse shape than before! So I'll have to take it slow. I advise that for anyone starting cold.

Good luck to you, and hope you can keep it up!!
