12? Just relax and enjoy it! Try as many events as possible then you'll find the ones that really suit you - and the coaches will be able to advise you as well. It's great you're interested in this sort of thing at 12 - if I had the level of interest in running I have now when I was 12, maybe I'd be with Jessica and Co as we speak.
The main thing at this stage is have fun!
