I registered for a half in November, hoping it will keep me motivated! Struggling with the run right now and not even running 3 miles YET!
It's is still early and you still have plenty of time: I asked last time, and the 1/2-marathon organizers say you need a minimum of 16 weeks to train for one. You have considerably more than that. Are you using a trainer or training App to pace yourself and make sure you are meeting your weekly goals?
I am amazed at how de-conditioned I got over the winter. I did three miles last week and almost died!! In the peak of the summer, 3 miles would not even have winded me. To my credit, I did push myself a litter harder than usual and increased the pace a bit past my comfort zone. Don't laugh, but my avg pace was about 10 min. Two years ago I would wheeze after 1 mile.
