question for the runners out there
Hi -
I started running back in October of last year. Did the c25k, then started a "35 week to a marathon" program. I'm now at the point that I'm running 9 miles on my long run (should be 10 this Sunday per the training schedule). I am finding that I have "more in the tank" on my long runs - ending strong on them with a feeling that I could keep going.
My question is this: there's a local half marathon on June 10th. Given that my longest run to date is 9 miles, is it totally crazy to try to do this half or is it doable?

You will come to learn that this is not a place you come to for people to say no if something is doable.
There is plenty of time to be ready.
