"It may take me months, if not years, to train for a marathon."
Explanation: "if not years" is a parenthetical phrase correctly offset by commas. The others misuse or misplace commas (correct forms: "My dog, a poodle named Toby, will do tricks for food."; "My cousin, who lives in another state, will visit us this fall." or without commas, depending on meaning; "I went to a late-night rock concert with my best friend.").
