AW: I just signed up for a half marathon
I'm fairly atheltic, but a pretty crappy runner. My brother talked me into doing a half in June with him. I'm completely terrified but I have plenty of time to train and get ready. It's time to face my fears!
I know there are some other distance runners here. Any tips?

Woohoo!! You will do amazing!
My biggest tip is to get good running shoes from the start. Go to a specialty running shoe store (that only sells stuff for runners, ask your brother about one), and get fitted for some. They will make a world of difference.
Also to remember that for your first half marathon you are in it to compLete it. Not compete. So just have a goal of finishing.
Good luck! If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I'm no pro, but I've done 2, and am planning to do another one in April.

I got fitted for running shoes before I did my sprint triathlons but that was a while ago so I will plan on doing it again sometime soon. I just want to finish! Even if it's at turtle speed.

My friend just signed up for and completed her very first half marathon earlier this year. I think she had the same/similar training timeline you do.
She found a running group training for it, and would go on runs with them I think once a week. I'm sure training in a group with both others who've done it before and those just starting out would be very helpful in learning your pace and rhythm.
GL!! I'm sure you'll do fantastic!

Ironically, the reason I did sprint tris was so I wouldn't have to run more than 3 miles.

Haha and now you will be doing 13.1. :-)
I will definitely check out that book. It's the swimming part that I just can't get past. I can swim, but it isn't pretty.

Good luck! I've done 3 (2 of which were not pretty at all and my best time is still much slower than most runners), and I've got to agree with most everyone: shoes, shoes, shoes!
I'm also a big stickler of stretching to reduce injuries and soreness. And just keep pushing to the finish; It doesn't matter how slow you're going, you're still getting closer to the finish line!
