You can do it! It helps to get something on your calendar to keep you motivated for training. I’m by no means an elite distance runner but I have finished five 100 mile trail runs and two 100 km runs in the past six years. And don’t get discouraged if you DNF an event I have done that a few times as well. Sometimes a finish is just not in the cards.

Thank you for the encouragement! I’ll keep at it!
One last thing, I tell this to anybody who is interested, if you can do 10 miles at a 10 minute/mile pace you are probably physically fit enough to do a 100 KM. Mental toughness and will power is something you will have to find out on your own when you make the attempt.
