13.1 miles. My longest run of this training block and easily my best one yet.

This week felt different.

After going into Sunday's long run with zero expectations, I ended up having an incredible 13.1-mile run. I fueled well, stayed on top of my hydration and most importantly went into it without putting pressure on myself to hit a pace or prove anything.

And I think that mindset made a huge difference.

With Wine and Dine just 3 weeks away, the focus right now is finishing this training block strong, building endurance, getting quality runs in and learning what actually works for me.

I'm also keeping my strength training short, runner focused, and effective. The goal isn't to leave the gym destroyed. It's to get stringer without creating unnecessary fatigue that takes away from the running.

And then there was Tuesday 8 mile run with speed workout. Another rally string...although I made once very important mistake: I forgot my fuel.

Three weeks out from grumpy to dopey challenge, every run is teaching me something.

BIG GOALS. REAL LIFE.

Let's find out what we're capable of.
