I think that people think that anyone can do a marathon now-a-days. I believe that they do not train enough to prepare for a marathon. I have only completed one, and the training part takes up alot of your life. But it is extremely sad. Remember also, the first person to ever run a marathon died as well. It is not something that everyone can complete. I have also heard that the stress you put on your body during the marathon is similar to a heart attack!!! My condolences go out to the runner and his family.
