After much internal debate I settled on attempting an ultra marathon before I'd even had a go at a conventional marathon, I'd have plenty of time to do a marathon during my training (I did 3 in the end).  

I got through my training unscathed and as the day drew nearer the nerves became more apparent, but I felt confident, I'd done a lot of training, I new I could do it! (I also new that I wasn't going to brake any records in the process)
