From 10K to HM?

Hi everybody,
I am 49, female and I have just successfully completed to 10K races. I finished the C25K and then the C210K program and am now contemplating training for a half marathon.
My understanding that Hal Higdon's novice 2 half marathon plan may be a good way to start?
The question I have: at which week would I start best? Do I start at th beginning eventhough I am running three times a week over 10K or do I start at e.g. week 7 where the long run approximately is what I am running right now?
Your advice is very much appreciated!
Thanks in advance
Stef.

You could start at week 7 to where your running your long runs at. Find a race and go for it!0

I would start at week 7 as you're already at that level!! Sign yourself up for a race as that'll motivate you to push yourself and do the training, that's what I find anyways!! I'm doing a half on the 5th October, and already looking for my next race as I know if I don't sign up for one my training will slip!!0

Thanks for your input, very much appreciated!
I will go with your advice and start at week 7.
Good luck with your race on the 5th!
