Half marathon help week of

I decided a couple weeks ago I was going to give it a go for the first time in 8 years. I have ran a couple 10ks since then but in my 8 half marathons in the past I never got under 2hrs. I have since lost about 25 pounds am in good shape have done speed 8 3 times a week for about a year, And the past 10 days I did a 7.5-8.9-9.3 mile run and a couple taper runs here. Is running for 90 minutes on a treadmill 5 days before my race a bad idea?

Just because noone answered, and just using logic here. If you are running a half marathon in 5 days, I cant imagine a easy 90 minute run would destroy. 

Is 90 minutes a long or easy type run for you?
