Just thought of one more thing for ya...you might want to give the Galloway method a try. It advocates a strategy of run-walk, say, 8 mins running, walk 1, etc and it can definitely help if you get plateau-ed with a running program. You end up increasing speed for the run sections & not wearing yourself out over the course of a race.
Just a thought! Good luck with the half - I'd gladly offer to pace you if I could!

Update:
Your suggestions helped tremendously! I ran a different route and listened to music. I also downloaded a app for my phone that tells me when to start, the halfway point and when to stop. Now I can just stick it in my pocket and I can't keep looking at the time. I ran 5 and walked 1 for about 45 min and I didn't stop on any of my running intervals!
