marathon?

I spent yesterday reading my Runner's World magazine ~ While my 1/2 marathon pushed me to my limit of endurance, "It was so hard.", I read about all these people who've done numerous marathons and I think, "I could do that."  The question is, do I really want to?  Certainly not this year.  Last winter was the first time I'd run all winter ~ I've been a spring and summer runner for years, but only a full time runner for one year.  I've only ever been in four races!
But I read about a training program that only has a 16 mile long run in its program.  I just wanted to bookmark it here, in case.  In case I become insane and decide to run 26.2.  I think that highly unlikely (since I can't get excited about 13.1) ~ but you never know. 
I would also like to remind myself of the blisters and the ruined toenails and the exhaustion.  (Which makes me think of the feeling of accomplishment and success.)
I really don't want to run a marathon.  Really.
