I wanna...Run a half marathon

Hi!
Just thought I would pop by and see if people could give me a bit of advise. I've set myself the challenge of running (albeit maybe jogging!) a half marathon on Feb 21st 2010. Currently I cycle quite a bit -maybe 5 miles per day. Apart from this I don't do a great deal of exercise. I have found some training plans which look quite good but wondered if anyone here had any advise? Also what is the best sort of diet should I be sticking to to make this achievable? Many Thanks.

    I did a half marathon last week. It was hard. Be prepared for more pain than you've ever imagined.

    Just under 3 and a half hours :D

    Was a very very hilly course, though.

    Well I started my training today, alternate walking & running for around an hour. Came home and slept for 2 hours after as was so tired! I'm sure my body will adjust soon though!! xx
