Is it realistic if a person started training for it on 2 months notice...this weekend for it to be done?

If so...how do you train for one? I know nothing of how to approach it both workout schedule and diet wise.

Honest opinions and tips among the runners and health wise individuals here would be appreciated.

Thanks!
I was going to run the full marathon then, but now am planning on the half marathon after losing some time to injury, then will go for a full marathon later in the year (possibly Denver). Here are a bunch of articles about half marathon training. I ran 2 of them last year after never running before.

Here is a training calculator as well
