Seriously if you're within a few minutes of a PR during marathon training you have no reason to be embarrassed.
Oh I'm not in marathon training right now, I'm running about 50 miles a week with a 10 mile long run. Marathon training starts directly after my HM in March so I have a starting off point to do my initial workout paces at. Also, I made a bet with my friend that I would beat him by ten minutes while I was drunk so I need to hide my identity until I'm fast enough to get in his head.
