marathon goals

It's that time to start to think about what my goals for the Toledo Marathon are. Like the Half Marathons, I like to set A,B and C goals; a (a huge stretch but could be possible) goal b (mostly likely to accomplish this) goal c (I better accomplish this AT LEAST).

This race will be interesting because:
1. It's my first MARATHON - a half marathon is one thing, but doubling that is another
2. My sis in law (who is way faster than me) and my friend (who is a little slower than me, I don't want to say slower as he has accomplished ultra marathons but he isn't a speedster) will be running this marathon - who do I run with?!
3. The weather should hopefully be in our favor, not too hot, not too cold - hopefully a light breeze but no gusts!

Do I start out with friend (might be too slow) or sis in law (might be too fast)?
Do I go alone? Do I just go?
My worry is the last part of the race, which I can't predict if I will be with either of my sis or friend. So hopefully C will jump in around mile 20 and push me to the finish line!

Ok so my goals.....here we go!

Goal A - 3:50 - I think if I pace myself right I can do this, if I don't go out too fast and I don't experience any hip pain, side stitches, etc. etc.
Goal B - 4:00 - I have to do at least this - who wants to be running more than 4 hours!!!
Goal C - To just finish - it's my first so I don't know what to except. Will I blow up? Will I hit the wall? My last half marathon right around mile 9 I had a runners panic attack where I just wanted to stop. I was running a PR for me and it was very uncomfortable. Hopefully some of these uncomfortable training runs will prepare for the discomfort the marathon will prove to be!
