Averaging 20+ miles per week, getting in 3 to 4 runs per week.

If I can give a bit of unsolicited advice, your first half marathon shouldn't be about speed - it should be about finishing it period. Distance is a mental game. Once you can confidently run a 10K, a half isn't hard physically, but your brain will wear you out.
One of the best training tools for a half (and ultimately a full) marathon is the Hal Higdon training guide. It will help you steadily increase your weekly mileage in a safe, injury free manner, as well as get your brain ready to tackle 13.1 miles.

I feel like the time will not even be close to issue. If im doing 8 in 1.5 hours I will have 2.5 hours to finish the last 5 miles. My goal is between 2.5-3 hours. I appreciate the advice and will look into his strategy
