Narrative:

After landing on runway 26, I was told to taxi to end of runway 26, hold short of runway 17. I was watching for markings on runway to indicate where I should stop. Stopped at end of runway, placing me at edge of runway 17. Other aircraft (large jet) was doing touch-and-goes. If I had gone even a few ft further, there could have been a collision. Need to stop much earlier, and be more familiar with taxiing on runways. Contributing factors: 1) several txwys under repair, making taxi on runway more likely. 2) lack of experience taxiing on runway. 3) fatigue after cross country flight at night.
