Easy . . . 13 miles is totally doable. I think you should gun for the full marathon.

1. Buy new shoes.
2. Start putting in miles.

I'm a fan of Galloway's run-walk method, but there are a lot of critics too. Basically, you run for awhile (timed) then walk for a few seconds to "reset" your body. It works well for quick recovery.
