Canal Trail at 2:00pm and 8.04 miles done at 8:33 pace per mile in 1:08:49 being done at 146 bpm AHR for 84% MHR intensity.  Midrange MP miles done (79-88% MHR). 

Hills on this route.  I had planned to do 9:30s for the first four miles and then 8:30s (PMP) for the last four miles for an avg. pace of 9:00.  I noticed I was putting together 8:30s and decided to try to hold that pace for a while…figured I would do the 8:30s up front for the first four and then 9:30s.  When I went for a 9:30 fifth mile, I noticed the split was 8:45.  So I decided to attempt 8:30s for the entire run.  Mile 7 walked a bit bringing the split to 10:00 and then ran bringing to 9:32.  The last mile (8) done in 8:07.  I can do the pick-ups pretty well I notice.  But these would be equivalent to the "early miles" of a Marathon...Sustaining the pace over the Marathon course needs to be achieved!  Overall pace 8:33.

MARATHON IS ONE WEEK AWAY.

I think I like your approach to marathon training, seems very logical.
