If the half marathon you're doing is your very first race and you're a true beginner, my opinion is that you should just have fun with it and not worry about your speed.

However, if you want to set a time goal, I think that a beginner should aim to finish in about 2:00 (~9:00 mile) to 2:40 (~12:00 mile). If you find that you have some natural talent in speed (and distance - remember that you have to hold it for over 13 miles!), aim to break 2 hours. If you're planning on alternating running and walking or just "taking your time," you could aim to break 3 hours.

Good luck!

Your primary goal should be completion.

But, since you want a time, within three hours is good for a beginner.
