The mileage from my Garmin is longer than what Strava shows when the activity is transferred, 8.33 miles vs 7.65 miles.  Because of this the average pace in Strava is slower than the pace for every mile that Strava shows.  How do I fix this error?  I hit the refresh button but nothing changed.  Thanks

Firstly check whether Strava thinks this is a Race or a Workout; this will alter the time used (elapsed vs active). 
You can also do a recalculation in Strava via the Web interface and it will re-check distance etc.

You may find more on this via the nickname ‘Strava tax’ 🤣
