Last long run before half.

My race is is 6/2. I have been following Hal Higdon's plan which calls for a long run his Saturday. I have planned an 11 miler which is in line with the plan but I have been reading about other plans which say not to run this far the weekend before. I really think I need the 11 miles mentally (10.3 longest so far) but I don't want to regret it. Will I be okay doing the 11 miles this weekend. I only have a 4 miler and 2 miler planned for the week before and Thursday/Friday are scheduled rest days.

You will be fine doing it this far out from the race. Stick with the plan. Many people have had success with that plan when it's followed. He wouldn't have that 11 in there if he thought it would be detrimental.
