So, Mogril, have you managed a GFA that you haven't got round to posting on your profile then?

Please don't listen to him if he indeed said it in the spirit you suggest. If you want to complete your first marathon, it's meaningless what time you complete a half in. Yes, if your goal was a certain marathon time but methinks you just want the feeling and enjoyment of completing your first. I've never gone below the time he suggests and have completed marathons and much longer tabs just to run and enjoy. You will know when you are ready. I've just entered as well, so see you there, good luck chick

It depends what you want out of it really. But it's nobody else's place to tell you what to do in terms such as that guy did.
In all honesty though, I wish I hadn't tried marathons yet. And I've been running a few years.

I'm in! To be honest I didn't think I would and have already booked to go to London the week after for a few days.
I will have to see if I can bring the cost down somehow or defer
