It's too easy to just walk out my front door and go. My longest run is 11 miles, but that was before I started training for a half. I'm on a program that calls for 9 miles this week, then 10 next week and taking it easy until the race. It's similar to how you taper for a full marathon after making your longest run of training a 20 or so miler, only you take it easy for the week before the race instead of 2-3 weeks before the full marathon.

Run it, learn it, love it. Is 9 miles your longest run so far? I don't know if that is a good or bad thing two weeks out. Of course this is coming from a runner of three half-marathons, one cherry blossom and a marathon relay team, so what I'm saying is I'm an expert on it. NCR trail. Run it, learn it, love it.
