We don't have special half marathons like this in Holland. I would have run for champagne and chocolate too. It's going to be a lot of fun I think. You might want to check out the Jeff Galloway method (he's got a website where you can find all the information). He believes in de the run-walk-run method and I did this last Saturday on my long run and I was 4 minutes faster than when I ran the 8K without walking. I was more refreshed by the end of the run and had a more consistent pace. Good luck on the training. I’ve looked at the website and love this idea!

I ran my very first half marathon in April this year - the MORE Magazine half in Central Park. I have never ever been a runner, not even athletic, but like you, I've been trying to lose weight and get fit. I never thought I could run that distance - I could run barely a mile a year ago. But this 40 somthing muffin top mom became a half marathon mom! And now I'm signed up to run the Atlantic City marathon in October! I still have a good 30 pounds to lose, and I run slowly. But I run with confidence and pride! You can do it too! Good luck in the Diva Half and keep plodding onwards towards a Full marathon. I enjoy your blog!
