Worries about pace

Its the 18th Oct- Marathon in just under 2 weeks time. I ain't gonna get fitter.

Did an 11 mile run yesterday eve, at a comfortable 1.54. Sore today actually, but did football anyway. Played v well.
Problem is- that 11 mile run is prob my marathon pace too- and extrapolating from that - 22 miles is 3.50 - last 4 miles in 40 mins best case - brings me to 4.30!!

I just haven't managed to get any faster- despite not smoking for last month. How weird. But then again, although I have done most of my long runs and two tri's - I never reached my required weekly mileage, basically due to laziness although I was doing lots of activities every week.

My aim therefore is to get below 4.30 for the first time..... 4.29.58 will do it, and at least I have knocked something off my time. I thought I'd be way faster by now though!
10 minute miles all the way if I can and I'll go from there..
