2 halfs in a week????
I need your opinion....can I run two half marathons a week apart?
I mean I think I can, but is it a bad idea? Does it make me a crazy nutter?
I'm registered for the LV Half on April 27. The Frederick Half is May 4.
The reason I want to do the Frederick Half is because if you run both Frederick and Baltimore you get a funky third medal for the Maryland challenge or something like that. And I already had plans to run Baltimore in the fall.
So what do you think? Am I a nutter or is it totally do able?

No, you are not crazy. It's a huge challenge.
ReplyDeleteI think you can. You might not be able to do your best at both of them but I think you can do it for sure.
ReplyDeleteA big challenge.. that you can accomplish! :)
ReplyDeleteI think you can but just don't push on both. Pick which one will be your A race and let the other be for fun.
ReplyDeleteNo nuttier than doing the Disney Challange :-) Run one, race one...
ReplyDeleteI'd do it!! And I'd do it like Lisa and Wes said. One fo really reals and one for fun ;D
ReplyDeleteGo for it — but take care of yourself first. (Yes, I realize I sound like my mother ...)
ReplyDeleteYou can do it. A week is enough recovery time.
ReplyDeleteMost definitely.. A week is good time to recover. Go for it!
ReplyDeleteI have to brag that I won the blogger pool...especially since I went from worst to first!
ReplyDeleteI am not a specialist on your questions...just to say that you know your body best...do what you know you can do!
Take Care
as long as you are careful, and you don't try to race them both, you should be fine.
ReplyDeletehowever, the half is sold out, so i hope you already registered. but i think you can fax them or something?
you could use lehigh valley at a "tune up" race, and frederick as a "real" race.
good luck and be careful!
You might be a little sore and worn out after, but it's doable.
ReplyDeleteI think you are very well capable of doing 2 half's in one week! Bring it, right?!
ReplyDeleteFound you through Runners Lounge. It should be no problem with a week in between, now if they were on the same weekend...
ReplyDeleteI think you can. Not that I ever have, but it should be a nice challenge.
