I would back off on the "race pace" 7 miler mid-week and turn that into an easier day since it is sandwiched between two speed days.
Make sure you're running the long run 45 seconds to 1.5 minutes/mile slower than your target marathon pace. Your weekly mileage is getting to the point where you are feeling the effects of the accumulated mileage. It's not just about what you are trying to do on that particular day.
Finding a group to do your long runs with is worth its weight in gold.
This will all be worth it after you finish your first marathon
