the race is less than 4 months away—with your build it's going to be difficult to add much mileage without a serious breakdown.

The "burning" you describe, I hope that's not in your shins?

If you are able to build up to some longer runs, I recommend you enter a half-marathon 3-4 weeks before your race and bag the marathon if you don't feel good at the finish. I didn't make it to the start of the first marathon I signed up for, but that was only a temporary setback.

Good luck.
