Number crunching for National Marathon

I am number crunching once again, trying to figure out what my pace strategy will be for the marathon. My marathon prep this time could be said to be a

Pre-buildup - Noveber and December = 120 miles
Week 1 - 11.51 (partial week, I started on New Years that was a Saturday)
Week 2 - 30.01
Week 3 - 45.26
Week 4 - 44.89
Week 5 - 26.36
Week 6 - 36.61
Week 7 - 31.51
Week 8 - 37.72 (ran the GW Birthday Marathon)
Week 9 - 21.31 (with 20 min of elliptical)
Week 10 - 42.47 (23 mile long run)
Week 11 - 28.29 (8 miles marathon pace)
Week 12 - 25.54 (6 miles marathon pace)
Total miles pre-race week - 381.49, 57 runs at an 8:46/mile pace

I can't remember whose blog it was that gave this idea to me, but I found this side-by-side comparison of the last three (sans my training GW Bday Marathon) marathon splits useful to compare my tendencies to slow down in the second half.

Mile 19	10:18	10:08	9:25
Mile 20	9:58	10:41	10:26
Mile 21	8:44	10:43	10:27
Mile 22	11:21	10:56	10:45
Mile 23	11:46	10:25	10:16
Mile 24	11:41	10:03	10:36
Mile 25	12:24	10:45	10:06
Mile 26	12:30	9:33	10:25

These stats are very informative, yet I wish I could enter in the elevation gain and loss to tell a more complete picture. I plan to run 8:40-ish throughout the marathon. I am hoping for an A-goal of 3:30, and will accept anything short of my current 3:54 PR

 I had such an inspiration from this weekend's racers. Galen Rupp, Mo Farah, Kara Goucher, Meb K, and Ryan Hall standout for me, especially Mo for having the will to win. I was openly cheering while viewing the race online.
