I love that phrase, Steph! (And it reminds me of the book by Ryan Hall, which I need to pick up.) Are you running the Woodlands Marathon in a few weeks? How is/did your long run go this weekend? You must be up to 20 or 22 miles by now.

Yep, The Woodlands is my hometown marathon. Ran 18 instead of 20 yesterday because it became too cold (34F [feels like 23] + wind + sweaty wet gear = 🥶) for this Texas gal. I knew after my last 18 that I was as ready as one can be for such a difficult distance. Ran a big chunk of the (new) course yesterday, including 10ish around marathon goal pace, to set expectations. I still worry about mental stamina for 20-26 but I’ll get it done 💪🏽
