Me! I did a half marathon last year, which I signed up for in a rare fit of positivity and then totally regretted :P It was actually good though, and seven months is plenty of time to train. You don't need to be running it in a super amazing time, you don't even need to run the whole thing.
I would suggest that you find a training plan and stick to it as much as possible. I did mine at the Edinburgh Marathon Festival so I used their beginners' half marathon plan and it was fine (though I didn't stick to it as well as I should have :P) I'm now using their back to running 8 week plan so I can do another half! There are plenty out there, just make sure you pick one from a reputable source, and getting input from a personal trainer is definitely a good plan.
Umm. If you have any specific questions I will attempt to answer them!
