A half marathon is twice the distance of a 10k. If you can run a 10k and look like you're ready for another (which my life was laughing at) then you'll probably be okay. However, if you look like your mid-childbirth after your 10k, then probably not.
Also, check out the amount of time you'll spend recovering. Many people that ran the 10k were bust up for a good few days. Think how much worse twice that distance would be on those people. Poor buggers. If you're looking to do a half marathon, SUF, message me and I'll drop you some cool bits of info.
The thing is, being fit cannot be a bad thing (we've all seen stuff about how the cold has hit the ultra-fit-super-low-body-fat groups but that's why extra clothing and smart preps come into things). However, being unfit can really screw a person over! High blood pressure, diabetes at an older age (late onset diabetes), heart attacks, weakened immune system, increased chance of strokes, etc.
