My half marathon PR is 1:27. My marathon PR is 4:1x:xx. I blame the aid stations. If you stop for gatorade during mile 15 or 16, chances are it'll be Hell on your legs to accelerate from a standing position.
I also ran around the same mileage as you did.
Yep no problem..
Just focus on paced runs and intervals. 80 days is plenty... bike when you get sore or run on the treadmill to aboid some pounding.
Don't run to much fast stuff or you'll get hurt. Just focus on marathon pace or a bit faster.

1:22 is a lot harder than a 1:27 (not meant to belittle), but yea. OP should be good.
What is the threshold that separates a "hobbyjogger" from a "sub-elite" runner?
