This looks like Pisaurina mira, in the family Pisauridae, nusery web spiders. See http://davesgarden.com/guides/bf/showimage/9186/ from this forum for another picture. I suppose one as large as you have described is capable of giving you a rather painful bite, but it should be nothing medically significant.
