I don't know if full marathon is in the forseeable future, but I could see doing a half marathon at some point (maybe next fall?).

It took me about 4 months to be ready but I could have done it sooner since I was on active duty and running 5 to7 miles per day. Just took the discipline to change my diet a bit and link in some longer runs.
