It is just that 3:23 that my wife ran 5 years ago is haunting me.
If I can run a good 1/2 marathon this fall I might consider giving a marathon a try next year or the year after.

That's right, I forgot your wife is a speed demon. That is cool. I've become quite accustomed to getting my butt kicked by lots of ladies, so it doesn't bother me too much.
Speaking of speed, there's a guy I went to high school with that runs. I knew who he was back in high school, but we never even exchanged "hello's". I just didn't know him at all. Well, he ran his first marathon back in '05, finished in 3:48. He also decided to apply himself to it, and last year, he won the Pocatello Marathon in 2:51:16. I finished an hour after him. I would have never guessed the guy had that kind of talent. He never played sports with us, never ran cross country, nothing. Pretty amazing. I read his blog occasionally, and his new goal is a 2:35, and eventually qualify for the Olympic Trials.
