Would you fib about your PB?

I can't remember my marathon time to the exact second but I do know it to the nearest minute 4hr 48.
After 20 years I might forget the exact time but not by that much.

The thing that I really found annoying though was the quote from the editor of Running Fitness.
"Who wants to say they ran four hours? It's an OK time but not a runner's time."

So according to Mr Castle, I and a lot of others that complete marathons in 4 hours plus aren't runners. I wonder what he thinks we are?

Oh and to answer the question, I wouldn't fib about my time as I'm proud that I finished in the time I did.
