I've done two marathons. The first pre-kids, the second when my son was a toddler. If you're going to do it, I suggest making sure Mike is totally on board and ready to sacrifice half a Saturday when you need to get a long run in. Danimal was great, but I still felt guilty. Pretty much our Saturdays were shot while I was training.
Also, I trained in the summer and there were a few Saturday mornings when our schedule kept me from getting in my long run early. Since there was no way I was going to run 15 or more out in the hot, humid Memphis sun, I went to the gym. One afternoon I ran 17 miles on the indoor track--that's 170 laps! I get dizzy just thinking about it.
