You have been running long enough, you know your body. In the last month, it is time to trust and run by how you feel. Every run this week that you did that, you felt great and confident! Plus, you need to do that in the half. In a race that long, you totally have to go by how your body feels--there is no picking it up when you can't. The only value of a watch is to keep you under the control the first 5 miles. After that, you have to go by your gut instincts anyway. Keep running strong.
