Just pick a down hill course for the half marathon and you will be all set! But seriously, going to 165 will make you a lot faster. Every pound counts when you are a runner.

Make sure you ramp your mileage slowly. No more than 10% adding every week and also holding the same weekly mileage for 2 weeks after a time of ramping. Sounds like you have shin splints. I recommend a roller of sort to massage the muscles. Have you used these? They are pretty effective and reproduce much of the effect a professional athlete would get from their massage therapist. I know, I'd prefer a pretty massage therapist too.
