Not be. But I would love to run a marathon.

Yeppers! I had finished fourteen Marathons and over twenty half marathons.  I moved up to ultra marathons about eight years ago. Started with a thirty one mile swamp stomper in thirty degree weather and moved on to a double marathon in Wyoming.  I paced somebody for a fifty miler twice before attempting a one hundred miler three times. I got clipped the first time for losing over ten percent of my body weight (and not being able to put it back on before the race completion). The second time I fell into hypothermia for four hours which took me out of contention.  I am getting the urge to make another run (no pun intended) at this hundred miler next August.
