A Marathon in 7 Weeks?

Here I am in the middle of training for the Auckland Half Ironman with thoughts of tackling the Rotorua marathon!

I don't think I'm crazy... but I have not done a marathon since London in '98 and want to see just how fast I can run one currently. I guess I'm thinking of a possible Ironman NZ next year and want to know what a reasonable pace would be...

It is 7 weeks away and I have been doing a reasonable amount since beginning of November including 6 weeks over 40Km and about 7 runs of 20Km or more... or am I dreaming???

I could go out tomorrow (Sat) and run 2 1/2 hrs comfortably, but instead I'll be doing a long ride (4hrs with some steady intervals) plus a 20min brick, then follow that up with a 1 1/2 hr ride and 2hr run on Sunday...
