Today I ran with a teacher from school (a super experienced marathoner) and we averaged a 9:38 for 15 miles...finally a long slow distance run for me! As a point of comparison, last week's 14 miles was at 8:50-ish pace, which was waaaaay too fast.
Today felt SO good...not once did I wonder why I run. 

Yes,I'm smiling...I'm a marathoner!

nice work! it's hard slow down, but you start to figure out how to do it when the distance gets really long.
the real question is: have you figured out what you can eat/drink yet? you're going to start needing a little snack soon!
Great job! I found this weekend that running with my husband is much more enjoyable because I take it easy and don't push myself too hard. As soon as he calls it quits though, I pump into the 8:30-9:30 range and I kill myself. I can't keep that up for more than 4-5 miles.
I never thought I'd say it's hard to slow down, but boy is it.
