Half marathon Sunday, Parkrun Saturday?

I'm just getting back into it after about 18 months out - no injury just Couchitis.

Any 6 weeks in, and I'm back to actual running rather than 'dragging myself along'.

I have my first half (since I've been training again) this Sunday and, while I'm not expecting anything near my best, I don't want to completely ruin it for myself.

Problem is, I did my first Parkrun on Saturday gone, and was really surprised at doigd sub 8m30s - which is only 30s off my best for that distance.

I'm struggling to taper this week as I have the bug a bit again...... After doing 7.5 on Sunday gone I've managed to stop myself going out, and was going to do a 3/4 tonight.

Would it be terrible to do the parkrun again the day before the race?
