Not to discourage you, but to go from "not a runner" to "half marathon" in less than three months is a recipe for injury.
I'd shoot for a 10k max by the end of the summer. If you reach that goal, keep building slowly and start working towards your half marathon goal. I completed my first one last fall. I spent 10 months training for it and I still wound up with some IT band issues that sidelined me for a while.
But props on your initiative!
