its a wolf spider i get them here at my house all the time
its not a brown recluse they have a black dumbell shape on their back and they usually live under woodpiles, in garages,etc...
the black widow and the brown recluse are the only venomous spiders in north america

My best guess is a young "nursery web spider" or a "woodlouse hunter" which is described as a very fast
runner.
I am certain it however is NOT a brown recluse spider. They have dark Round (not pointy like the one in your pic) rears.
The guy who runs this web page sure knows his stuff. You can submit the picture to him and he'll judge what it is. http://www.spiderzrule.com/

It looks like a young wolf spider, if it is they are usually harmless, they are also great for keeping the mozzies and bugs and stuff at bay as well.

It appear to possibly be a recluse spider....
his photo shows the different sizes of a Brown Recluse spider. Juvenile Brown Recluses will be ***light tan in color***. The record size is 2.8745 inches.

That's a fiddle back spider and be very careful and try to kill it. It is poisonous!

I think it is a baby spider.

Does not look like a very dangerous one. Spray some insecticide and get rid of it asap.

Looks like brown recluse but most commonly it is a malehobo. Check out this link:
