Zach - regarding your question. For the half-marathon - go out at the fastest pace that does not indimidate when you think about holding it for an hour and a half. It will probably be 6:50-6:55 if the course is flat. Adjust as necessary during the race.
Do a 2 mile warm-up, and a 2 mile cooldown if your legs feel up to it afterwards. Skip the long run next week - you've done enough of them. Instead run about 10-12 miles with about a 6 mile tempo pretending you are racing a marathon in the middle. It would be nice to do it on a measured course.
