Working on a half marathon for October though.<br />I am planning on looking into a Savannah, Georgia vacation eventually but we may instead go to Pigeon Forge, TN before the end of the year.<br />I am so behind on Julia Roberts movies. I want to catch up on a ton of them. One of the first on the list that I want to watch is Pretty Woman. Such a shame that I haven't seen some of her best ones!Jess A @cajunrunnerjesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04483633828532103352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9151121726336406894.post-60876653482710547692011-07-25T21:22:09.016-04:002011-07-25T21:22:09.016-04:00I love Julia Roberts, she is fantastic!

The...I like fish, but haven't had sushi before. The food does look good.<br /><br />Regarding doing 2 marathons in 2 months time, my response is-it depends. I don't think you can run two hard marathons that close together. Keep in mind that it's just not about the physical part. The mental part can give you problems. If you do try it, I would treat the first one as a warm up for the second. I agree that rest is very important after the first one.<br /><br />I wouldn't do a 20 miler though as suggested by Gracie. No hard feelings Gracie, but I think it would be a mistake. I would run marathon pace longer runs though in the 12 to 15 mile range.<br /><br />Good luck with your training!Read/Write/Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11311290259562617538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9151121726336406894.post-78161165295004264972011-07-24T23:42:42.982-04:002011-07-24T23:42:42.982-04:00Love pretty woman, but also Oceans 11 (not really ...Love pretty woman, but also Oceans 11 (not really for her, though) and definitely Erin BrokovichChristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02287501540207945678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9151121726336406894.post-12570145575164738922011-07-24T22:50:35.915-04:002011-07-24T22:50:35.915-04:00Pretty Woman!!! love that movie.

I put good in quotes because he could not make me like sushi. I just do NOT like it but everyone else thought it was the most amazing place we had ever been. In fact the night we went was "happy hour" and most of the sushi was $1. craziness apparently. I should probably try to figure this place out for you. I know you aren't too close to atlanta but you know...for next time you are visiting. <br /><br />so i know nothing about running marathons close together but I have my 2nd in October and my 3rd in December...ummmm yeah. I got a little over ambitious. Hoping this works out for me...so you should just sign up for yours and we can be ambitious together!Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17378429616486417815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9151121726336406894.post-86180238795079238232011-07-24T22:44:25.183-04:002011-07-24T22:44:25.183-04:00It's definitely a tie between Pretty Woman and...It's definitely a tie between Pretty Woman and Notting Hill.

I like running them close together, that way I don't have to start training from the beginning each time. <br /><br />I definitely take a few days off from running after each race, and dont do a long run for 2 weeks. In between races my longest run is 10 miles. No need to run further since I know I can cover the distance. <br /><br />When I did the 2 halfs 2 weeks apart, my first one was kind of a "dry run" and I made some mistakes, and the second one went much better because I knew what to do differently. This year, my "goal" half was in May, and after that I've just been doing them for fun, so I don't stress about training for them. So maybe you could make one race your "goal" race and the other one more of a fun race? <br /><br />I know the full 26.2 is a lot harder than a half, but based on my experience with halfs I think it would be ok to run 2 marathons 2 months apart. But maybe wait awhile to register? That way if you burn out or get injured you don't lose out on the $$.Junk Food Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06642715874549042748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9151121726336406894.post-86419292484323425792011-07-24T22:15:29.054-04:002011-07-24T22:15:29.054-04:00I was afraid it was going to be a Runaway Bride ex...I was afraid it was going to be a Runaway Bride experience that bonded you to JR!

It is the perfect way to get the most out of training. <br />My general game plan would be to recover with easy runs for a week, then get back into longish runs - get a 20 miler in a month to two weeks before the next marathon and taper like usual. You already have a base so it should be a great race for you!Graciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05641028266038110278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9151121726336406894.post-11554528972770437462011-07-24T21:54:08.173-04:002011-07-24T21:54:08.173-04:00Sounds like fun in Savannah!
I'm not so sure ...Sounds like fun in Savannah!<br /><br />I'm not so sure on the second marathon so close to the first... After my first full at the beginning of May, I took a full week off running, then slowly introduced 3 mile runs again. I for sure wasn't ready to be training hard-core again until about 2 months after! Now I've got the bug again and am still not ready for another full, settling for two halves this fall instead. <br /><br />But everybody's different! If you think you could handle it, go for it!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11927738659878286380noreply@blogger.com
