Urgent Advice Needed - Should I Enter This HM

So far, I have only raced 5, 10 and 12K races. I have been starting to train for the Dundee half marathon at the end of July and I have a couple more races between now and then (a 10k and a 5k). Tomorrow I have a fencing competition.

2 hours before entries close for Sunday's Stonehaven Half Marathon, I start thinking mmmmm... Want to do it. lol.

Would that be a bad idea? To give you an idea of what kind of runner I am; the farthest I have ran in one go is about 8.5 mile. I averaged about 5 minute KMs in this run. You can also see my PBs in my signature below.

Opinions please?

You go for it! It's a bit of a pig hill wise(...I used to live on the route), but nothing unatainable. All the best.
