You spent a mellow few days with your W, you got some intimacy and you are both training for a very intense physical experience. I'd say your 2008 is getting off to a great start.
Good luck, and I hope all your dreams are fulfilled in 2008.

PS...if you have never run a marathon before then watch out for that "wall"...you will hit it around 18 miles and just be sure you are near your W at that time...you can then be the hero that supports her physically and emotionally and helps her complete her marathon...obviously you will be trying to run a personal best and she'll realise you sacrificed your goals to help her complete her race...she'll melt...she'll let you massage her aching body...then bingo you'll get your fun!
