Thanks. It's hard to convince myself. Like, as someone who has never run a half and would probably finish with a time around 2:10, it feels like I'm insulting all the actual good runners by doing the same race. I know that's insane, but it's hard to shake the feeling.

I suppose I need to reference my personal Rule 2 which goes something like "stop thinking about it and just do it. If you've thought about it this long and don't have a reason not to, it's as good as it's going to get."
