Im doing a Marathon this fall and i did a workout of 6x2miles @ 5.28 pace with a half mile @ 6.00 as recovery. This gave me a total of 15 miles @ 5.37 pace. What can I expect to do at a marathon in this shape?

Second week of marathon training in the books:
M: AM: Easy 4 miles
T: AM: 10.11 miles, 60 minutes easy with 6x30"/1' off, PM: Easy 5 miles
W: AM: 3 mile easy, 3 mile easy tempo (5:48, 5:48, 5:42), 1 mile easy, 4x60 seconds uphill/jog back, 4x30 seconds flat/jog back, 3 mile cooldown PM: 3.08 miles easy
TH: AM: Easy 4 miles PM: 8.70 miles
F: PM: 9.64 miles, 60 minutes easy with 6x30"/1' off
S: 2 mile w/u, 3 mile race (5:10, 5:08, 4:57), 8 mile c/d
Sun: 13.26 miles
Total: 83.4
Pleasantly surprised by my 3 mile result this weekend. Felt controlled and ran completely solo. I don't think I've ever closed a race in sub 5. The miles went by pretty quick this week. I could have sworn I was going to be on 65 or 70 and then realized late on Friday that I was going to break 80 again. I felt pretty good and focusing on taking the off days easy has been key for me.
Shouldn't someone have started a fall "quest for amateur glory" thread by now?

Going for sub 2:30 at Grandma's. Probably around 2:29. Anyone else attempting the same at Grandma's?
