long run

so i did a 9 mile run today.  whoohoo!  i ran twice around the golf course, so it worked out perfect.  and you know what?  it felt great!  and my average pace was 11:21, which i think is better than when i do just 5 miles.  so i feel pretty confident that i will do great in the half marathon.  i figure it will only take me another hour to do the last 4 miles (being generous with the 15 minute miles incase i am dieing) so ill finish in 2 hours 45 minutes.  time will tell.  i ran with my water belt (no baby for this run).....3 waters, one gatorade at my fingertips.  it worked out beautifully.  YaY for my run!
