great expectations

The thing with this hobby of mine is that you really cannot judge a book by the cover. You look at people on the start line and think they'll never finish ahead of me and blow me they do and conversely younger fitter people finish behind me.
Websites tell me that I should be able to run a marathon in 3hours 45mins based on a 5k run at 24mins 22secs, how this works bearing in mind a marathon is over eight times the distance. Looking at some of the names on the list of entries,I will be well down the list of finishers. I have been this nervous about a run ever.
When the race is over I will be on a strict diet and looking to lose 2 stone and will be looking to reduce the race times dramatically.
