The marathon should not be feared, but it should be respected. 26 miles 385 yards is a long way. One should also be aware of hyponatraemia which tends to happen more often to the ill-prepared who may not be aware of its cause. (Losing lots of fluid via sweat and replacing it only with water.)
Anyway, completing a marathon is quite an endeavor and it seems to me it's worth doing well, not just to say you did it.
