Having never run a half marathon before, I have no idea at what speed I should shoot for.
To give you some sort of idea, I just ran a 5 mile race on New Year's, finished at 38:28 doing a 7:42 pace.
Also, is it a bad idea to do the bulk of my training on a treadmill? I hate the damn thing, but it might be my only option.

I just read an article in Runners World that said that it wasn't good to do most of your training on a treadmill because the surface is much softer and easier on your legs than the road will be and it could cause you problems.
