Concerns about “enjoying the experience” don’t carry much weight with me either. Let’s face it, they all hurt during the last 10k .

One of the half marathons I am doing is the beginning of September and the other is the beginning of October. If I run them slow, wouldn't it be good as a LSD training runs?
I'd skp the October half. It's very hard to discipline yourself to not overdo it in a race, no matter your intentions. You can do what you want in September, in October your focus needs to be on being prepared for the race. Running a long race like a half isn't a good idea.
