to think I could run a half marathon after 15 weeks training

[allthemoomins]

I've always wanted to run the Great North Run and I've finally taken up running this week, starting with the couch to 5k app. The GNR is in September so I'd have 15 weeks to prepare. Have I got a hope in hell of being ready to run 13.1 miles by then? Or AIBU and should I wait until next year?

I did the GSR (10 miles) with about 3 weeks training having only run 5km previously. I managed it in 2 hours and 5 minutes including a toilet stop and 'ran' all but half a mile. I took a picture of the person I was running for and named each mile after someone who had sponsored me - meant I wouldn't give up as I would let that person down. I was rally chuffed and v emotional crossing the line but I couldn't walk for a week!!!!
