So do you think I should try to get some longer 18-20 mile runs in, or should I just focus on improving my 12-13 mile runs?

You should up your mileage. I did my first marathon off a twenty-two miler, but I would not have wanted to do one after only a twelve.
If you want to run at five, you should rise at two, eat some carbs, and then get ready to run. Practice with electrolyte drink and then bring shot blocks, better than gel as they are not messy like gel.
26 is really not that long. It sounds long but a person could train to run 30 or 40 easily.
