I think running two marathons is a bit dangerous this early on. Is it possible? Yeah, it's possible, but they are so close together. You probably need a month to recover just from one. I'd be careful, especially if you're someone who is prone to injury.<BR/><BR/>If I were in your shoes...I'd probably just sign up for Chicago, and go run the marathon with your friend. I know NYCM is amazing, but it'll still be here in the future. I'm just afraid you'll injure yourself if you don't allow yourself to recover fully after the chicago marathon. For comparison, think how long it took you to recover from LA. Do you think you'll be up for running another marathon a month after the first?<BR/><BR/>Remember, don't let the enthusiasm of marathoning steer you away from being realistic. Sorry, not really trying to ruin your party (after all, I'd be looking forward to meeting you at the starting line in Staten Island) but just looking out for you, that's all.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, just my two cents.The Laminatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17171521739644023071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6080080454839687419.post-40435126550436444422008-04-14T10:46:00.000-04:002008-04-14T10:46:00.000-04:00Thanks, Jess!

I'd love to be able to take my time and take in the scenery. So yeah, you win! I'm going to have to go with your awesome advice!

But only race one. Run the other one for fun. Basically not pushing yourself quite as hard to avoid injury.Jess https://www.blogger.com/profile/04319493454447862771noreply@blogger.com
