Kolja, A half would be great. Have you done one before?
No, the longest I've done before is a 12K back in my home town. But, knowing I can do that (~7.5 miles) tells me that, given proper preparation, a half is well within my ability even if I AM built more like a weightlifter than a distance runner.
Also, last month we were TAD in Las Vegas when they had their marathon/half marathon. I was actually surprised at the number of folks who seemed to be doing the half very liesurely - some even looked like they may have walked the entire thing. Maybe it's just cause it was Vegas, but the fact is I saw folks who didn't seem to be in any better shape than me doing it - so I figured I could to!!
