Training to run 13 mile marathon

[Mayfriday0529]

You think one could train to run 13 miles from today till May 7?
Right now I can do about 4.

half marathon? marathons are 26.2 miles.

anyway I think going from being able to run 4 miles to 13 by may 7th is pushing it.

by the same token, can you train to ride a 42 mile bike ride, when the most i've done is about 27? by may 7th?
