Thinking of half marathon - advice??

[jcm]

So I'd said several years ago I'd like to run a half before I turn 40. Well, that snuck up so that gives me about a year!! The longest I've done is 9 miles, and that was before I had my third child. Now my life-long girlfriend and I are thinking of doing a race the end of May. How does this work? I'm a SAHM w/ three kids, husband out of town and I've been plagued with injury the last two months - actually since last September. I've been researching Runners World and figure I'll make a plan - probably using some STS to keep everything strong. Really I guess I'm looking for someone to tell me this is a worth-while endeavor. Must admit - I'm a bit intimidated.

It's totally worthwhile b/c the feeling you get when you cross that finish line is unmatched by any other! I ran for 2 or 3 years and did two half marathons and an 18 miler in that time and it was an awesome feeling to know you did it!!!!!!!!! I say go for it!
