Long Run One Month from Myrtle Beach

First I did run Monday, 6.1 miles in 49:51, 8:10/mi. Then took yesterday off.
Today I ran 22.0 miles in 3:15:10 a 8:52/mi. pace. Max HR was 158 avg. HR was 133. My fat burning range seems to be 128-136 so this is a good avg. HR for me for winter. I started drinking at about 9.3 miles since I have been having problems drinking too much coffee and then having to pee or worse and having to find some place to go. This morning I had a Protein + 30g protein chocolate brownie PowerBar , 10 oz. water and 1 small cup of coffee. Only 2 gels for the run and 2 bottles of Gatorade/apple juice 85/15. That's about a 3:52 marathon. I'm happy with that for a winter pace.
I'll see what that translates for real at Myrtle Beach. I would like to run sub 3:35 either at Myrtle Beach and/or Virginia Beach.
