I have run 4 marathons and about 5 half marathons. You didn't say if this was your first half or you had run others. If it is your first your goal should be to finish upright and alive with all of your limbs still attached! If you don't have a training plan Hal Higdon's have worked very well for me in the past.

This will be my first and my only goal is to finish. I know people training for 1:30 finish for the 1/2. I am like gezzz I don't want to kill myself. I plan on doing other in December and that one I will be more focus on a better time. I never was a fast runner, but I can't run long distances.
Thanks for the tip of the training plan. I downloaded one a few weeks ago but it told me not to start until July. It said to have at least 3 months of running under your belt until you start the program. My mom and I are also training so we are running the same pace. We don't care about our times we just want finish as a team. It means more to me to come across the finish line with my mom than running it under 2 hours.
It is also hard to train this time of year. It is 100 degrees when the sun is set.
Congrats on those times. They impress me.
